"Working with A. was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my remodel. From our first meeting, they really listened to what I wanted and brought ideas to the table that I hadn’t even considered. They found the perfect balance between style and functionality, making my home not just beautiful but also incredibly livable. Throughout the process, they were easy to communicate with, super responsive, and always on top of things. Remodeling can be stressful, but they made it as smooth as possible. The attention to detail was next level—I kept noticing little thoughtful touches even after the project was done. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Andi was friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for an architect who genuinely cares about their work and their clients, A. is the way to go. Highly recommend!"

"The work Erdelyi associates did is great, but communication and timeliness were lacking. I didn’t have a consistent point of contact throughout the project - it just seems my project was handed off from one person to the next with no continuity and I had to proactively reach out for updates."

"Working with Dee and his team was a great experience. From the initial consultation Dee had creative ideas and a vision for what could be done to maximize the use of our yard. Aside from giving us more usable areas, it was also a project that increased the beautification of our space. He has a team of incredible craftsmen who were very meticulous with everything they did. The construction was high-quality, thoughtful, and everyone was extremely knowledgable about each piece of the project. This was the first big outdoor renovation my husband and I have taken on and I feel very grateful we found Dee and his team. Working with them has been one of the best investments we’ve made in our home. We were in great hands and have additional projects planned with them."

"If you?re here looking for an architect, look no further. Francisco is the man for the job. He helped us with a garage to ADU conversion. Francisco kept us informed and communicated with us throughout the entire project. He was very professional, helpful and patient. We had tons of questions and he had the answers. He is very efficient and great at his job. We would hire him again with no hesitation. Thank you Francisco for making for making this process a breeze!"

"We couldn't be happier with our backyard project. Motti and Kimberly were just wonderful to work with. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive all throughout the process. They listened to our thoughts and educated us as to all our possibilities. Motti has a wonderful design eye and is so passionate about his work. We were very happy when we used them for the front of our house 4 years ago, this time around for the back, and we would use them again in the future. We recommend them highly."

"Cipriano has been working with us for 7 years on maintaining our yard. He has a wealth of knowledge on plants, flowers, and trees. He landscaped our front and back yards, which included fencing and irrigation and drainage. When dealt with a problem he is able to provide workable ideas to solve it…which he has done several times for us. He has a “good eye” for what works best and a real passion for gardening and landscaping."

"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."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

Most Greek Revival architecture homes are one and a half to two stories, depending on the footprint, which sets them apart from some Federal architecture homes that are three stories. The gabled roof on the second floor can sometimes cut into the living space, especially on smaller homes of this style, which leaves a much smaller living area upstairs.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.

Architects often oversee project management to ensure design adherence, coordinate with contractors, and address onsite challenges.

The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.

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.
