"MJ Quality Builders does new houses as well as remodeling. They are currently doing work in Pebble Beach on a house I represent. Their work is of the best quality at a reasonable price. Best of all is the short time they take to complete a project. Their design ideas and input are invaluable. I highly recommended them. I will certainly use them again."

"The guy was great. I had several of the contractor who took a look at the job. They said the deck had to be replaced. the other contractors did not diagnose the rot at the foot of the house. When Gilbert took it apart. it was completely rotted. Which other contractors would have discovered once they began the work. Gilbert repaired the deck instead of replacing it. only Gilbert diagnosed the rotted footer in the house in advance. Gilbert will be replacing my roof this fall. Out of all the contractors, Gilbert's price was less than 1/3 of the offer of other because they wanted to replace the deck and it did include repair to the house."

"I’ve hired Bulls Legacy Builders twice now for work in two separate properties that I own and I’m compelled to leave a review because I am blown away with the work Dario performed in both properties. In one property I hired Bulls Legacy Builders to do a remodel of the kitchen and bathroom since both were extremely outdated. I explained to Dario that I was looking for a more modern look for both the kitchen and bathroom and he offered many suggestions on what is popular and what most people are wanting. In addition to his suggestions for designs, he also offered some suggestions to maximize the counter and cabinet space in my kitchen since my kitchen is small and doesn’t have much room. Dario did an amazing job with both remodels and left me with a beautiful kitchen and bathroom. It’s clear that he has great experience and knowledge in remodeling. In my other property I needed some electrical work done since there was a lack of outlets and some outlets just didn’t have electricity at all. Dario came in and was able to figure out the issues with the faulty outlets and was able to fix them up. He also found creative ways to set up more outlets in the house and offered suggestions of where the outlets could be placed to be the most beneficial. In addition to his excellent work, he gets the work done quickly, efficiently, and offers fair rates for his work. I will not hesitate to hire Bulls Legacy Builders again in the future for any upcoming projects I have!"

FAQs for architectural service projects in Denair, CA

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.
