"I am so thankful I found Robyn to help me with my recent kitchen renovation. I had never undertaken such a big home project before. I was overwhelmed with paint choices for cabinets and picking out coordinating countertop and backsplash. Robynâ s knowledge of trends and color schemes steered me in the right direction. She put together styles and materials I would have never thought of using to enable me to capture the vision I had for my kitchen. The Power Point slides she created of different color scheme options aided me tremendously in my decision-making process. Robyn is such a pleasure to work with, enthusiastic, open to any of your ideas and notions, and has such a positive attitude. She made my intimidating concept into my home renovation a fun and joyful experience by happily pointing me in the right direction for a fantastic outcome. I couldnâ t have completed my kitchen project without her. I highly recommend her for any home renovations and would absolutely call upon her expertise in the future."

"We are proud to say, we have had the pleasure of dealing with Living Art Water Gardens for the past 15 years. Their professionalism, customer service and visionary designs are remarkable! Unfortunately, 16 years ago Living Art Water Gardens was not available and we went with another company to design and install some water features in an unusable and ugly portion of our yard. The best decision we made, over 15 years ago, was to call the team at Living Art Water Gardens. Over the years, they have worked to correct all the problems we were having; just a few of these problems were the uncontrollable water leaks (causing high water bills), lighting problems, and the ponds always looking dirty. We are happy to say that with their help we have finally turned that unsightly ugly grassy area between us and our neighbor into a beautiful water feature and gardens that we are proud to call our “Water Park”. It takes up about ¼ of our property, efficiently moving about 2500 gph and is a clean year round home to several large Koi and Goldfish. We can enjoyed it from several different angles: the first and second story decks, inside our home, the little covered porch down in the gardens or just walking around the different features. Our friends and family, from the smallest children to the oldest adults, loves to come over and safely enjoy the Water Park year round. Unlike some ponds we have seen, our Water Park comes alive once the sun goes down, the colored lights in the bubbling boulders and the lights inside the ponds are beautiful. Like us, our neighbors love the sights and sounds of the water. Every year we have the team from Living Art Water Gardens come to do a “cleanout” of the Water Park. This includes removal of all the leaves and other debris (that comes with Alabama fall and winter), trimming up the water plants, and keeping the fish healthy and happy. We are very picky and do not want to see any liner or lighting wires – we like the natural/been here forever look. The pride they take in their work and keeping their customers happy shows! Before all the repairs and redesign that Mr Jake Bright (Owner/Designer) made, the cleanout process took a full three days. Now this is an efficient one day process. Just the other night, we had a gathering of friends and family and no one wanted to go inside – we all stayed outside to enjoying the sights and sounds of Water Park until late in the evening. We have proudly recommended Living Art Water Gardens to several family and friends for their landscape needs and none have been disappointed!! If anyone is looking at an uninspired backyard that they would like to turn it into a beautiful “Park” like setting, please giving Living Art Water Gardens a call and let their landscape design visions work for you."

"

We had a minor leak in my bedroom closet. He went into the attic and could not see where the leak was coming from. He looked for the leak from the roof as well and he let me know that my roof should have about 7 years left in it. He was on time and polite but only at my home for about 15 minutes.

Architects questions, answered by experts

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

A home elevator is a fantastic way to improve your home’s accessibility. Elevators allow anyone, even those who use wheelchairs or walkers, to safely move between floors within your home.

Dumbwaiters may allow you to move items up and down floors, and stair lifts can move people up and down, but elevators are the best option if you need space for people, their belongings, and/or mobility aids such as wheelchairs.

That said, home elevators cost more than other options, such as stair lifts. Consider your needs and your budget when deciding the best way to make your home more accessible to a person with a disability or a person who is aging in place.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

Some architects include interior design in their portfolio of offerings, while some architectural firms employ interior designers to handle that aspect of home building projects or refer clients to interior designers they’ve worked with in the past. Ask a local architect whether they offer interior design services as well.
