No job is impossible for Sigura Construction. We never take on a project unless we are 100% certain we can provide our client with the best service and results possible. We do this by completing the project in its entirety, providing each client with our prompt, courteous and professional service, and by turning out a first-rate product. We stand behind all of our work and guarantee that you can rely on us before, during and after your construction project.

"We had an amazing experience with Sigura Construction on our backyard transformation project. They did a fantastic job building a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, landscaping with pavers, and custom lighting. The entire crew was incredibly professional, thorough, and efficient, delivering top-quality work from start to finish. Ilan, the owner, was outstanding—easy to communicate with, professional, and highly knowledgeable about all the options for our project. He made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Our backyard now looks absolutely stunning, and we’re thrilled with the results. We have complete peace of mind knowing the work was done by true experts. We highly recommend Sigura Construction to anyone looking for exceptional construction services. Thanks again to Ilan and the team for a job well done!"

Commitment to excellent service and professional knowledge are key factors for the success of Sun Architecture. Solving the budget, functional, and meeting regulation constrains requires the skills and talents of our experienced team of professionals. The design team of Sun Architecture believes that the interaction between Client and Architect can produce buildings that withstand the changes of fashion and time. The best projects emerge from the cues of the site, sun and climate. A complete design considers both the interior and exterior of the building as a totally integrated effort.

"Just me George Sun a month ago to discuss what we (wife/I) wanted to do to our existing resident. So far is very courteous and knowlegeable in all aspect of his job. But rate someone at this time is impossible. Please resubmit this at latter time. Will complete this when the job is done Thanks"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Mid-century modern architecture was a popular home style throughout the U.S. from the 1950s to 1970s. Most homes feature a wide and symmetrical floor plan with low-sloped roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows. Its minimalism and balanced appearance are back on the home style scene, particularly when maximizing sunlight, airflow, and a blend with the home's natural surroundings.

Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

In most cases, you should hire a draftsperson for simpler projects like minor home renovations, and you should hire an architect for new construction, structural changes to your home, and large home add-ons. If you’re working on a larger project that demands an architect or structural engineer, your professional will often have a draftsperson on staff and include their services in your estimate.

Utilize CAD software for precision, modern design visualization, and alterations.

You should have an architect involved in your project from the very beginning. They’ll be able to direct your vision into workable plans, and they can advise you on potential problems right from the start. You may be able to save money by not using an architect, but larger projects will go much more smoothly with an experienced pro directing the process.
