Customers say: Quality work

"Omid and his team built a brand new bathroom in my home. The work was complicated as the home was just built in 2020. The foundation was concrete as thick as 18 inches with post tension cables running through. Omid laser mapped everything and determined the depth of plumbing through precise calculations. His team worked very carefully excavating through the concrete to then go 6 feet deep and access the main plumbing line and then perform all the work to connect the rest of the new plumbing, required by the new bathroom. Omid also utilized the space to the maximum and the bathroom looked much bigger than I had initially thought. The finishing was splendid with octagonal marble tiles aligned to perfection, additionally Omidâ  s team worked on extending storage spaces under the stairwell to further maximize storage value for us. I would highly recommend Omid. He and his team worked round the clock and even on weekends. I was really impressed by their schedule. I have heard horror stories where contractors leave work in the middle of the project or take up multiple assignments and only spend a few hours a day. But with Omid I was pleasantly surprised by the 8 hour work days and when they were running behind they were coming over weekends as well. Great job done at the end!!"

"Working with David was seamless. He did what he said he was going to do, was on time with his work and the work was exceptional. He needed to work with an engineer to get certain specialized part of my garage to pass with the city but i got approved from the City of Sacramento for my garage rebuild on the first try ! ! I will be working with David in the future and highly recommend him."

"Andres was awesome! I called for an estimate and he came out the same day. We went over what I wanted and he made suggestions to help reduce the price. The suggestion he made also gave more character to the back yard along with saving money. He started the work the day after the estimate, poured and stamped the concrete, laid artificial turf and decorative rock in 3 day. I am very very happy with the job. His crew worked very hard and all were very nice. I am more than pleased with the experience of working with Andres!!"

"Michael and his team were incredibly professional. They remodeled two of our bathrooms, including doubling the square footage in our master suite. Michael stood behind his work and insured. We were fully satisfied with the product. Throughout every stage of the process, he kept a clean and tidy, worksite, and was respectful of our families time and space. We’ve referred Michael to many of our friends because of the great work and professionalism he exuded on the job. We plan on using Michael and his team for our kitchen makeover later this year."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

A floor plan is a less detailed illustration showing a building or room's layout from above, including elements like windows, doors, walls, and fixtures. It offers a simplified view for homeowners. In contrast, a blueprint is a more detailed, to-scale architectural drawing that includes all parts of the building plans, such as structural elements, construction details, and utility schematics. While a floor plan can be a type of view within a blueprint, the complete blueprint contains all the necessary details to turn the plan into a reality.

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.

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

Arched windows used to be most prevalent in more traditional home styles, like Spanish colonial and Gothic, but they are becoming increasingly popular in modern design. You’ll often find arched windows in new home builds across many styles, including farmhouse and contemporary architecture. This represents a more general trend toward more unique houses with interesting features.
