"The work completed was of the highest quality. Danny, the owner of DM Building, is a fair and honest business owner, and very responsive. He has a very skilled group of people and they did a great job from start to finish. Our foreman, Scott, who treated the project like it was his own home, provided excellent guidance and help throughout the remodel. The attention to detail was impressive and suggestions were made along the way which made the house even better. Most of the workers are employees which helps in scheduling work. We did work with some contractors recommended and managed by DM Building for kitchen and laundry cabinets, as well as tiling and flooring--and they were professional and did excellent work. In my case, I had never done a remodel and my husband was the main contact in initiating the work. Unfortunately, he died when we were in the middle of the rebuild. Danny, Scott and his crew were very supportive and helped me through the remodel, over and above my expectations, accommodating additional changes and working with me to get everything completed. The house is beautiful."

"Sarah is the best designer ever! She helped me achieve functionality as well as create the aesthetic I wanted in my living room, kitchen, and dining room. She understood what I wanted and executed everything beautifully. The process was so much less stressful due to her. Highly recommend her!"

"In 2021, during the pandemic, Charles Taylor and company went the extra mile for my project and to communicate. He designed and hired the contractors for a beautiful custom renovation of my tiny house. His general contractor, Christian James (James Gang Construction), did extremely professional work. He did a full wall of tiling in my guest bath, floor to ceiling tile in my shower, and two kitchen walls . Charles redesigned my master bedroom layout. Offered several ideas. He hired the contractors that: painted my house inside and out, replaced the floors with quality vinyl planks, added tile, redid my ceiling lighting, added lights for the closets in both bedrooms, added a refrigerator nook, replaced my kitchen counter with beautiful white quartz, replaced all my faucets with Delta faucets in matching finish, chose and installed new window treatments, added a pocket door, replaced the picket fence outside with high quality redwood, painted all kitchen cabinetry, replaced toilets, vanities, kitchen counters and sink . Christian James built and finished two shelves in the kitchen. All of this was done with a I mind to cost, getting deals for the tile, planks, fence, pocket door and more. I canâ t say enough about Charles Taylor Home."

"Hired Pacific Sands after we lost our home in the Eaton Fires in Altadena. We were very happy with their team and the designs they finished for us. Their permitting team was amazing too, so happy they were able to help with that part of the process. too."

"Finally, after using three different companies, I talked to Luis at Brothers Landscape and they did not disappoint. I wish I found them 5 years ago and saved myself a lot of headache (and money from failed front yard landscape attempts). They weren't the cheapest (nor the most expensive), but his ideas were very creative and now that the job is complete, we are so happy with the result. Luis had to do some extra work to fix the other company's mess, but he did it superbly and we couldn't be happier. I get all kinds of compliments from neighbors and even delivery drivers tell us how much they like the design. Luis was very professional and what he said he would do, he did it. His communication skills were top notch as well. I always knew what was going on with the project and if there were any delays (I was left in the dark from other companies). I will definitely be using this company again for some work in the backyard because I know the work is well worth the money spent. Save yourself time and money from searching for your landscape company and give Luis a call. You will not be disappointed."

"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

Villa exterior features often include large windows, arched doorways, patios, terraces, greenery, and gardens. Common exterior colors for villas are whites and off-whites, soft browns, and clay tones. 

Utilize CAD software for precision, modern design visualization, and alterations.

Costs depend on project complexity, software requirements, and the draftsperson’s experience.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
