"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."

"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 questions, answered by experts

Mediterranean architecture comes from traditional building styles of countries on the Mediterranean Sea mixed with French, Greek, and Moroccan influences. There are three main types of Mediterranean architecture: Italian Renaissance, Spanish Revival, and modern.

Some signature components of Mediterranean architecture include red terra cotta roofs, archways, stucco siding, and metal detailing on windows. These homes often have balconies and outdoor living areas.

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.

Finding an architect for your project demands looking at the professional’s past work, speaking with prior clients to see what their experience was like, and discussing your project and vision with the expert to see what kind of input they have. Look for an architect that gets excited about your project or has experience with similar projects.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.
