"Alexia designed a large planter box, which included adding a fountain, trees, plants, succulents, and a rock river bed. She provided us with a 3-D design based on our initial ideas of what we wanted. We fell in love with her rendition. She helped us pick out four large Jasper rocks, one of which we turned into a fountain. She also went with us to several nurseries to help us pick out the flowers, trees, and succulents that we used in the planter box. We absolutely love how the planter box turned out and enjoy sitting on our lounge chairs while listening to the fountain. We are also considering installing an aluminum awning in our backyard so Alexia provided different designs for us to consider for the awning placement. This project is still in process. We love working with Alexia she is passionate about her work and loves helping her clients realize their dreams. We will definitely rehire Alexia in the future should the need arise."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Architects can cater to both residential and commercial projects, tailoring their approach according to the specific sector regulatory requirements.

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.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

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.
