"Babylon Gardens has been a fantastic company for our large backyard project and we're very pleased with what they accomplished in the last couple months. Professional, responsive and high quality work. Definitely recommend them to others and I'll use them again in the future. The owner Ron is a pleasure to deal with and their field lead Juan is awesome."

"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 In one property I hired Bulls Legacy Builders to do a remodel of the kitchen and bathroom since both were extremely outdated.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!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Your state’s architect licensing registry is an excellent place to begin when finding an architect. The state must license architects after completing the required education and with a minimum amount of experience. You can also ask other homeowners with similar projects who they used and their experience.

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.

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. 

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.
