"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"Fast, efficient, and friendly. Jesus arrived on time for the estimate. They removed a ton of landscaping rock from my property in a few short hours, and also hauled away some junk for me. I was very impressed with Olive Branch and will hire them again the next time I need any yard or landscaping work done. 10/10 for the work!!"

"I hired Sonia to work in my new home in Hillsborough, CA. I needed somebody who could give me new ideas about kitchens and bathrooms and the space in general. Sonia helped us by designing two master bathrooms with bathrooms, a bar, a laundry room and the kitchen. Her work was careful and oriented to detail. She thinks out-of-the box and gave us something new and stylish. She is also an honest person, a good listener and a professional. We are very pleased with her work and would recommend her in a heartbeat!"

"While we were impressed with the work they had done, their education, their expertise and their references, we felt that Mike Amini, the architect for the firm was a bit overbearing and more focused on telling us what should be done, than on listening to what we wanted. We thought we would find him difficult to work with since we had so many of our own ideas of what we wanted. We just couldn't believe that this would be a collaborative effort, so we declined to have him do an initial design. His firm wanted $6500 up front for design services, and we were reluctant to pay since our input did not seem to be an important priority for him.
Their references and reviews were mostly excellent. I think they would have done a very good job, but we did not feel they were the right firm for us.

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

Blueprints are generally available for houses built after the early 1900s. Before then, detailed building schematics like blueprints were rarely used and even more rarely saved. If you have an older house and need blueprints, you can have a new set drawn up by an architect or draftsperson.

Get prepared to meet with an architect by having a clear idea of what you’re looking for, a list of questions to ask, and as many project details as you can provide. The more information you can provide and receive from a prospective architect will help you decide who to hire.

As with most large-scale home renovation projects, you’ll need an architect to map out the exact layout and specs of your above-garage room, which is required in many municipalities. Some general contractors will serve as your architect, or they may bring on a residential architect to assist with the plans.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit.
