Public Records Check

  • Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for Foster Contracting with the Alabama state licensing board. That doesn't mean the company is unlicensed. A license can be held under a different business name, registered too recently for us to match, or filed in a way our search didn't catch. We recommend confirming directly with the Alabama state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
  • Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Foster Contracting with the Alabama Secretary of State. That doesn't mean the company isn't legitimate. Many roofers operate legally as sole proprietorships, which don't require registration, and a registered business can be filed under a different name, formed in another state, or created too recently for us to match. To confirm how the business is structured, ask the contractor or search the Alabama Secretary of State directly.
  • Business Address Foster Contracting's listed address at 5695 Rabbit Creek Dr #102, Belle Fontaine, AL 36582 appears to be a business address. This means the company operates from a real, locatable address rather than a mailbox or PO box, which can make it easier to reach them or resolve issues. Many roofers legitimately work from a home address, so this doesn't speak to the quality of their work, license, or insurance.
  • 2 Credentials As of Jun 11, 2026, Foster Contracting holds these manufacturer certifications: GAF Authorized / GAF Certified, FORTIFIED Roofing Contractor. These show the company met a manufacturer's program requirements and may offer manufacturer-backed warranties, but they aren't independent quality audits. You can confirm current status with the manufacturer.
  • Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Foster Contracting (Google, the Better Business Bureau, GAF), the blended average is 4.9 out of 5, which we label Excellent. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A high average reflects past customers' experiences, not a guarantee of yours, so read the underlying reviews and weigh them yourself.

Lead-Safe (RRP) in Alabama

Alabama runs its own EPA-authorized RRP program (Alabama Dept. of Public Health (UA SafeState)), so RRP-certified firms are not listed in the federal EPA registry; our copy of the state list was last checked Jul 6, 2026. Absence here is not evidence a firm is uncertified - verify directly with the state program.

About this review summary

This summary was automatically generated from customer reviews that were publicly visible at the time it was created on one or more of the review aggregators listed below. It does not constitute a review, rating, endorsement, or statement of fact about the business - it reflects only the opinions expressed by those reviewers as found at that time, not the views or conclusions of RooferWatch. Automated summaries can contain errors or omit context and may become outdated as new reviews are posted, so please read the original reviews through the links provided and do your own due diligence.

  • Avg. Rating 4.9
  • BBB A+
  • Google 4.8
  • GAF 4.8

Most reviewers praise Foster Contracting's roofing services, particularly for work completed through the Strengthen Alabama Homes grant program. Several reviewers report that the company provided thorough consultations, with staff members like Chase Foster and Jimmy described as knowledgeable, professional, and communicative throughout projects. Many customers highlight efficient work completion, professional crew behavior, and thorough cleanup. However, one reviewer expressed frustration with communication lapses, unexpected fees (a $25 convenience fee and 3% credit card fee), and delayed completion of finishing work, noting it took three months and a follow-up review to resolve paint damage. Another reviewer initially gave two stars due to perceived ghosting after project completion, though they later upgraded to four stars after the work was eventually finished. Overall, most reviewers recommend the company's services and express satisfaction with roof quality and the installation process.

About this average rating

This figure is a straightforward average of the public ratings we’ve gathered for this company across the following review platforms that our systems have identified: Google, the Better Business Bureau, GAF. It is not a proprietary RooferWatch score or a judgement of our own; each source is converted to a common five-star scale and blended into a single number so that no one platform’s reviews carry outsized weight, giving a more balanced read on overall sentiment. We’d still encourage you to read the underlying reviews on each platform and weigh them for yourself.
