"I am a very picky person on how I like things done. This has been the best experience I have ever had with work done at my house. I needed the wall behind the fire pit completely redone as it was cracked badly. Emanuel and his crew tore down the old wall and dug a better foundation, added more bars to the structure to make it more solid. I had flagstone removed from the seating area & fire pit surface and replaced with travertine tiles. The bottom portion was to be stucco but in mid project I changed my mind and asked Emanuel to place a stone facade knowing it would be extra money which I thought it was reasonable. Emanuel was very supportive even though it was altering his timeline. We are super happy with the results. Emanuel and his crew are the best! I wish every person had the work ethics and detail oriented principles that Emanuel exhibits on his work."

"Mike and his team provided excellent service that was within budget and finished on time. After an initial consultation, we received plans that checked off every need/want that we had. The pricing/contract was very straightforward and all questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. The team went above and beyond in certain areas and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone who is looking for landscape design and/or implementation."

"Gary is professional, personable, reliable, and got the plans drawn up and approved quickly. He talked to the city planning dept ahead of drawing the plans to give them exactly what they wanted. He handled all of the interaction with the city planning dept. regarding the remodel. I would absolutely hire him again and will refer others to him because of the quality of the work he did in a realistic time frame."

"Pleasant on the phone but person was upfront in telling me they only do projects which exceed $5K. Since I didn't want or think my project was worth that I did not schedule an estimator to come out."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

Utilize CAD software for precision, modern design visualization, and alterations.

Many drafters go on to continue their education and become architects. Drafting is a necessary skill for architects, so learning drafting is often the first step on a path toward becoming a licensed architect. Drafting can also be a career on its own, with plenty of drafters choosing to specialize and focus solely on drafting.

In most cases, you should hire a draftsperson for simpler projects like minor home renovations, and you should hire an architect for new construction, structural changes to your home, and large home add-ons. If you’re working on a larger project that demands an architect or structural engineer, your professional will often have a draftsperson on staff and include their services in your estimate.

The various types of architects can be broken down into eight distinct categories, but there can be specific specialties within each of them. Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.
