"We did a full remodel of our place, full new kitchen, and expanded our place into the backyard for a new master suite. Pac Sands did a really great job with our designs. Great tools that made the communication easy with the plans and changes we needed. And they handled the engineering and permitting too, which was great. Highly recommend."

Customers say: True professional

"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."

"CHRIS WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HAD ANSWERS TO ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS. HE RESPONDED TO OUR FOLLOW-UP E-MAILS, AND THE REASON WE CHOSE OMEGA WAS HIS PROFESSIONALISM. OMEGA WAS NOT THE LEAST EXPENSIVE, BUT PRICING WAS FAIR. WE FELT CONFIDENT HIS COMPANY WOULD DO THE BEST JOB. HIS JOB SUPERVISOR, EFREN WAS EXCEPTIONAL AND VERY ACCOMMODATING-------HE MADE SURE ALL THE DETAILS WERE FOLLOWED UP AND COMPLETED. OMEGA INSTALLED OVER 600 SQ FEET OF ARTIFICIAL TURF, WHICH TOOK 2 1/2 DAYS, RESULTED JUST AS WE IMAGINED. LOVE THE TURF.

Architects questions, answered by experts

If your project is complex, it may make sense to hire an architect to draw plans. An architect might also be a good person to hire if you want to ensure your plans adhere to building codes and regulations.

The design phase varies by project size and complexity; initial ideas can take weeks, while extensive plans may extend to months for complete detailing.

You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.

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.

Greek Revival and Federal architecture are quite similar in that they focus on symmetry and a blend of utilitarianism and opulence, but they differ in a few key areas. First, Federal architecture tends to include a brick facade, whereas Greek Revival homes more often have stucco siding, much like you’d find in Mediterranean houses. Greek Revival homes also tend to be a bit more ornate, with columns as decor, and more decorative and formal porticos.
