"Kurt did an excellent job repairing our windows and support beams. He is highly detail-oriented and able to match woodworking styles and colors. Kurt was able to repair extensive rot damage and made the windows look better than they did before. He is very tidy and always communicated very well. He is very friendly and pleasant, and upfront with what’s going on. I would recommend him without hesitation."
"i desperately needed gutter cleaning the day before a major storm. I spoke with Dave initially and he worked with me to make it possible and sent out his crew by the afternoon to my house. His crew was so professional and worked very hard to make sure that all the work was done for me and they cleaned up and got rid of all the mess. This company could not have been nicer and helpful. I highly recommend them and am thankful that I found their business."
"Chris, Noah, his chief foreman, and their entire crew were truly outstanding. I contacted them initially for a bathroom remodel project because of their excellent reputation in that area. However, Chris is so knowledgeable and easy to work with, that I decided to have them do a complete house remodel. Over a three-month period, they replaced the entire roof, remodeled two bathrooms, three bedrooms, the living room, dining room, basement, sunroom, and a large family room. They put hardwood floors throughout, new ceilings, and totally redid the electrical system with new lights, fans, and outlets. In addition, they did some outside painting, installed new floodlights, and repaired the gutters. I couldn't be happier with their work. We now have a beautiful new home. They are perfectionists and many times would plaster the sheetrock several times until it looked just perfect. They paid attention to every detail, even things like mounting new TVs in the bedroom and family room. Most importantly, they were fun to have in the house. They were completely honest, had a good sense of humor, and were very respectful and sensitive to our needs. Chris would take me shopping for the tile, plumbing fixtures, cabinets. and granite countertops. Talk about personal service. I would recommend them highly for any type of home remodel project. They are true professionals that take a tremendous amount of pride in their work."
"Working with Gove Restoration was a great experience and if we could give them higher than an A rating, we would. Our project involved a kitchen, family room and living room renovation, and we couldn't be happier with the results-our new kitchen/living space is beautiful- exactly what we had hoped for and more. When we initially contacted Gove Restoration, we connected with Adam Gove. It was apparent to us early on that Adam was professional, thorough, detail oriented, and committed to doing the best job for his clients. We were impressed with the amount of time that Adam spent meeting, planning and discussing the project with us prior to beginning the renovation work itself. And once the project actually began, we were even more impressed if that was possible! It was clear that Adam put a great deal of time into planning and preparation and as a result, the project moved forward like clockwork and finished right on schedule. We were simply amazed at how smoothly and quickly our project progressed. Having Adam and his brother Matt (and on occasion their Dad) working at our house was a delight. They are quietly kind and confidence-inspiring, trustworthy, skilled and meticulous. And when we say meticulous we mean it- we would come home at the end of each day to a clean and neatly organized work space. There were a couple of unique design issues that presented given our space, and Adam and Matt came up with and executed perfect and beautiful solutions. Adam managed our project. He had the nicest way of gently guiding us in the right direction when we would be a little unsure about some of the decisions that needed to be made and his insight and guidance was always spot on. He kept us fully informed every single day about what was happening, and we always knew what to expect and which of his subcontractors (who were a very talented group of professionals as well) would be working at the house. Besides being gifted craftsmen, Adam and Matt's customer service is second to none. We are thrilled with our new kitchen (which was completely gutted and totally redone), our renovated family room (which included a beautiful new fireplace mantle designed and built by the Gove brothers to match the style of our new kitchen cabinets, perfectly laid out new recessed ceiling lighting, the removal of our old barn board paneling and the installation of new sheetrock and beautiful crown molding, along with a newly framed front window and a new door into the family room from the garage), our entry way (which involved the removal of the existing tile and installation of new wood flooring, molding and lighting) and our living room (which included sheet rock repair and removal of the existing wall to wall carpeting and refinishing of hardwood floors underneath). We were so impressed with the attention to detail that was given to every aspect of the project. Gove Restoration's workmanship is incredible and they are a pleasure to work with. And we love that Gove Restoration is a family business. Who would have thought that a renovation project could actually be a pleasant experience?? We cannot say enough good things about this company. We would hire them again in an instant and we highly recommend them!"

Yes, custom designs match existing structural and aesthetic themes.
You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.
New constructions, renovations, and interior layouts benefit from expert drafting.
Mediterranean architecture comes from traditional building styles of countries on the Mediterranean Sea mixed with French, Greek, and Moroccan influences. There are three main types of Mediterranean architecture: Italian Renaissance, Spanish Revival, and modern.
Some signature components of Mediterranean architecture include red terra cotta roofs, archways, stucco siding, and metal detailing on windows. These homes often have balconies and outdoor living areas.
In-law suite floor plans almost always include at least one bedroom, a bathroom, and a combination kitchen/living room area or separate spaces for the kitchen and living room.
