"I am a Realtor and was representing Sellers. The Buyers in athe transaction wanted $16,500 for foundation work based on a report from a foundation inspection company. My property inspector and an architect friend felt the report was completely in error. I called Home Advisor and Padir responded. The inspector came out the same day; charged a very reasonable price and delivered a professional 17 page report. We gave that to the Buyers Realtor and settled on a very small credit based on the report from Padir."

"Fast initial consult, clear prep instructions. Crew arrived early and finished the job without incident. Most of the plants survived transplant and are thriving, though a few didn't make it."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Ash, the talented architect behind my 14-square-foot home, and I could not be more impressed. Ashs expertise and attention to detail truly transformed my living space into an architectural masterpiece. From the initial design phase to the final execution, Ash demonstrated remarkable patience, friendliness, and knowledge. His ability to understand my vision and translate it into a functional, aesthetically pleasing reality is a testament to his skill and dedication. I highly recommend Ash and his architecture company for anyone seeking a professional who not only delivers exceptional results but also makes the entire process enjoyable. My home is now a testament to Ashs creativity and commitment to excellence."

"Steven has been wonderful to work with. He's done a few small jobs at my house, including putting in a rock walk way through my backyard. I had started it and realized I wasn't going to be able to finish it after my surgery. He came in and saved the day. Everyday I walk out in my backyard I'm thrilled with the work. He's come back a couple more times to do some smaller jobs and each time he's done a great job!"

"Working with David was seamless. He did what he said he was going to do, was on time with his work and the work was exceptional. He needed to work with an engineer to get certain specialized part of my garage to pass with the city but i got approved from the City of Sacramento for my garage rebuild on the first try ! ! I will be working with David in the future and highly recommend him."

"Jamie and his crew were outstanding. Always professional, on time, on schedule, clean and my design was followed perfectly. I am a Facility Manager and have dealt with contractors in several of the trades including concrete for many years. This was top quality work done at a fair price. Jamie listened to what we wanted and made it happen just like we envisioned. We are revamping the front yard in a couple of years and Maranata will be our contractor."

Architects questions, answered by experts

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

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. 

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

The most common scale for residential blueprints is 1/4 of an inch equals one foot. This scale is the most popular because it’s easier for everyone involved, from professionals to homeowners, to understand the building’s actual dimensions. Also, it allows blueprints to have the necessary details without cluttering the page.

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.
