"We have used Tom Smith services directly twice, and indirectly a third time. It was his design that led to buying our home in Montecito. He subsequently designed a beautiful wine room which has given us and our friends & family many wonderful memories. We are currently working with Tom on a kitchen redesign and highly recommend him. John & Susan"

"My experience with Cornejo Landscaping was fantastic. I wanted to remodel my patio with pavers and it turned out amazing. My husband and I are so pleased with the work that we also asked Cristian to spruce up our backyard by trimming overgrown trees and power washing our stamped concrete pool deck, courtyard and walkways. Cristian is skilled, experienced, reliable, honest and easy to talk to. He was always responsive to our questions or any concerns we had along the way. We will definitely call him again for our next project and will be recommending Cornejo Landscaping to all our friends, family and neighbors."

"We hired Jesse and his team to build out a commercial space for our coffee business. Jesse provided us with an itemized budget and made certain we understood all of the costs associated with our project. He also provided us with a detailed construction schedule and he was able to adhere to it. Despite hiring a designer and an architect, we needed additional guidance on layout and design. Due to his extensive commercial construction experience, Jesse had no problem providing us with his honest and practical guidance on layout and design to ensure our space was as functional as possible. In sum, everything was spot-on and professional with Jesse: budget, schedule, communication, and experience. The best advice I can pass along is to speak with Jesse about your project before you hire a designer and/or an architect. You will save time and money by working with Jesse and his team!"

Small jobs welcome

"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!"

"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

You'll find Arts and Crafts homes across the country in varying styles. On the East Coast, bungalows and Tudor Revivals fill the Boston area through New Jersey. In the West, Mission-style homes incorporate terracotta shingles, white stucco siding, and rounded archways.

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

In the United States, architects must be licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia before being allowed to practice or seek business. Licensing requirements vary state-to-state, but overall the architect must be educated, attain a certain level of experience, submit to and pass an examination, and register as an architect. Find out if your architect is licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing search tool. 

Yes, architects help navigate local zoning laws, acquire necessary permits, and ensure compliance with regulations, reducing delays and costly modifications.
