"Alexia designed a large planter box, which included adding a fountain, trees, plants, succulents, and a rock river bed. She provided us with a 3-D design based on our initial ideas of what we wanted. We fell in love with her rendition. She helped us pick out four large Jasper rocks, one of which we turned into a fountain. She also went with us to several nurseries to help us pick out the flowers, trees, and succulents that we used in the planter box. We absolutely love how the planter box turned out and enjoy sitting on our lounge chairs while listening to the fountain. We are also considering installing an aluminum awning in our backyard so Alexia provided different designs for us to consider for the awning placement. This project is still in process. We love working with Alexia she is passionate about her work and loves helping her clients realize their dreams. We will definitely rehire Alexia in the future should the need arise."

"I had my garden and bathroom remodel done. Albert and Samuel were professional, friendly, and a delight to work with. They're responsive and reliable. I also like the subcontractors whom they used on my project. They kept me informed of everything and I appreciate their excellent work."

Customers say: True professional

"While we were impressed with the work they had done, their education, their expertise and their references, we felt that Mike Amini, the architect for the firm was a bit overbearing and more focused on telling us what should be done, than on listening to what we wanted. We thought we would find him difficult to work with since we had so many of our own ideas of what we wanted. We just couldn't believe that this would be a collaborative effort, so we declined to have him do an initial design. His firm wanted $6500 up front for design services, and we were reluctant to pay since our input did not seem to be an important priority for him.
Their references and reviews were mostly excellent. I think they would have done a very good job, but we did not feel they were the right firm for us.

Architects questions, answered by experts

The cost to draw house plans typically ranges from $800 to $2,700, with standard blueprints averaging around $1,800. For a custom home, the cost is higher, with blueprints often falling between $5,000 and $20,000, and potentially more for very complex designs. Several factors influence the total price, including the project's size, the number of rooms, the type of drawings required, and the architect's experience level. You may also need to pay a structural engineer to ensure building safety, particularly for custom homes.

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.

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.

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.

Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.
