"As an investor who buys properties oftenâ ¦ I am always in a search for a reliable, honest, capable and nice people to work with. Eran and his crew at ESL Designs are one of the best contractors that I came across recently and now I know that if they will get involved in any other remodeling project with meâ ¦ they will do it on the best side and without any delays or issues that canâ t be solved. The reason for my that caused me to hire them was to remodel a new investment house that I purchased recently and that required the remodeling of the bathrooms, small repairs in the kitchen and hallways, including some improvements in the front of the house. Eran has a large experience in the industry and he proved his design skills to be perfect for what I needed. In my industryâ ¦ itâ s hard to find someone that have a great knowledge, ideas, solutions and design experience. Eranâ s work came out perfect and i will do more business with him and ESL Designs on every remodeling job that I take on."

"Hired Pacific Sands after we lost our home in the Eaton Fires in Altadena. We were very happy with their team and the designs they finished for us. Their permitting team was amazing too, so happy they were able to help with that part of the process. too."

"Jeromes extensive experience with business TI projects made him the perfect choice for our needs. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we could have made. His exceptional skill, combined with his genuine kindness and honesty, truly set him apart. Culver City presents its fair share of challenges, particularly with the citys responsiveness, but Jerome and his team went above and beyond. They consistently communicated with the city on our behalf, advocating tirelessly to expedite the permit process and relieve so much of the stress on our end. Jerome dedication and professionalism are unmatched, and his commitment to his clients is evident in every step of the process. If you are looking for an architect with top-tier expertise who truly cares about his clients success, look no further. Jerome is simply the best!"

"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."

"This company was one of the first to respond after putting out my request for work on HomeAdvisor. Wil is a very personable business man, his client relations staff is wonderful and they were able to begin work on the project in a reasonable amount of time from first point of contact. I loved the fact that Wilâ s company took on my smaller kitchen project, as most companies had a threshold amount of $4k and didnâ t want to be bothered. Wil has excellent contractors and walked through project with me upon completion. Heâ s got got my future business!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit. 

Your state’s architect licensing registry is an excellent place to begin when finding an architect. The state must license architects after completing the required education and with a minimum amount of experience. You can also ask other homeowners with similar projects who they used and their experience.

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.
