"Shaun made the process of my kitchen repair very easy during a time that was pretty stressful for my family. We had a sink leak and needed to repair parts of the kitchen with water damage. As a result we were working with an insurance adjustor which can be stressful for any contractor. Shaun was a professional and really helped in communicating with the adjustor. He also finished the work multiple days early which was much appreciated since we were in a hotel during repairs. It allowed us to focus on the next stage of our repairs the painting and move ahead of schedule. He also repaired a cabinet that was previously broken and not part of our project without me even asking. I really appreciated his kindness in doing this."

Architects questions, answered by experts

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

Costs depend on project complexity, materials, labor, permits, and required revisions.

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.

The cost to draw up housing blueprints ranges from $800 to $2,700, depending on several factors. Blueprints for a custom home cost between $5,000 and $20,000, and extraordinarily complex designs can easily surpass the high end of that price range. The experience level of the architect will also affect the cost, as more experienced professionals can charge higher rates. 

Your state’s architect licensing registry is an excellent place to begin when finding an architect. The state must license architects after completing the required education and with a minimum amount of experience. You can also ask other homeowners with similar projects who they used and their experience.
