"We have used Tom Smith services directly twice, and indirectly a third time. It was his design that led to buying our home in Montecito. He subsequently designed a beautiful wine room which has given us and our friends & family many wonderful memories. We are currently working with Tom on a kitchen redesign and highly recommend him. John & Susan"

"My experience with Cornejo Landscaping was fantastic. I wanted to remodel my patio with pavers and it turned out amazing. My husband and I are so pleased with the work that we also asked Cristian to spruce up our backyard by trimming overgrown trees and power washing our stamped concrete pool deck, courtyard and walkways. Cristian is skilled, experienced, reliable, honest and easy to talk to. He was always responsive to our questions or any concerns we had along the way. We will definitely call him again for our next project and will be recommending Cornejo Landscaping to all our friends, family and neighbors."

"Octavio and his team of workers have come to my property several times to put in trees, bushes, pavers, sprinkler systems, and synthetic turf. All their work has been done quickly and professionally. They demonstrate a positive "can do" attitude and they clearly are good at what they do."

Architects questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you don't need to hire an architect for a garage conversion. Your garage conversion contractor should have the skills and experience to help create your desired design. However, if the scope of the conversion is large and complex, and your budget allows, it's smart to hire an architect to oversee the design.

Yes, professionals will offer tailored solutions to fit architectural and personal style preferences.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

While possible for small projects, professional designers ensure compliance with building codes and structural integrity.

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.
