"They did an excellent job installing a backsplash in our kitchen. Ermal s father returned the next day to replace a kitchen and three bathroom faucets. He had some challenges with the faucet in the pedestal sink because it is so close to the wall, but kept at it until the job was done. Everyone was on time, pleasant and cleaned up when finished."

"Very well. Blad and his team completed a total transformation of my front and back yard. The project was a complete success and he completed on time and on budget. My neighbors were amazed at the finished result and asked about Blad’s services. I subsequently hired Blad and his team for periodic maintenance and have been very pleased with his responsiveness."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

Many architects offer 3D modeling and virtual walkthroughs, which allow clients to visualize the project and make informed decisions before construction begins.

The best way to start designing a house is to know what you want before designing. Making a list of your biggest priorities in a home will help. Designing a house without an idea of what you need or want in a home will lead to many trials and errors that could make it harder to figure out what you need in your design.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.
