"We have all heard those stories of contractors you can't reach and who don't do what they say they are going to do. This isn't Robert of Freak Dog Construction. He is a true professional who keeps you informed and is on site every day to ensure that the workers know what needs to be done. If it is not done right, he will have it redone to your satisfaction. Last year Robert remodeled my kitchen and breakfast nook. They took out all the soffits and moved walls so we would have more room for the cabinets. Of course, all the wiring for the house comes in through the kitchen and had to be untangled and tucked into the ceiling. New LED lights were installed in the ceiling and under the cabinets. The cabinets were custom made and turned out beautiful! The tile work and new flooring was without blemish. I get rave reviews every time someone sees the kitchen for the first time. I was extremely happy about how the remodel went so when I decided that the three bathrooms needed updating, I knew I had to call Robert back. We went over the plan multiple times. He was attentive, asked questions and took notes and had his trade people come to listen and ask questions. He took out the soffits in all the bathrooms, making them look much more spacious. New LED lights were put in the ceiling and electrical moved to put sconces on either side of the mirrors. Plumbing issues were discovered, when the soffits were removed, and were fixed. The showers were torn out down to the studs. All the plumbing was updated and then the showers rebuilt and tiled. They turned out more beautiful than I imagined. Robert used a tile guy, Miguel, that is very talented at what he does. He takes pride in his work. Custom counters were installed with quartz tops and stone bowls on top. Everything done to perfection! All three bathrooms were torn apart and rebuilt in about six weeks. Drywall, electrical, texture, paint and tile were done. There was never a day that I didn't have workers here all day creating what far exceeded my expectations. Robert came by here every day and ensured that the work never slowed, and everything was done in the appropriate order. Robert communicated with me about who was coming and when. If I had a question or concern, he always listened to me and address the issue. He really is a great guy and makes you feel like your project is the most important one he is working on. The whole project came in at the contract price. I honestly believe that I got the better end of the deal! I still can't believe these showcase bathrooms are in my house!"

"He did an okay job with us. We had to remind him constantly. He was late. He didn't turn out to be a good fit for us. It wasn't major with us. We are smart enough to make sure we didn't give all the money upfront and got the work done. But, it became a little frustrating."

FAQs for architectural service projects in Goodyear, AZ

While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following: 

  • Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known

  • Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design

  • Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features

  • Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design

  • Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project

  • Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly

Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include: 

  • How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?

  • How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?

  • Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?

  • What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact? 

  • Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?

  • Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew. 

If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
