"Above and beyond this companies customer service is truly amazing. I've used a few companies for work on my house and Phoenix is the best ever. The design team understood my desires, their various crews are respectful, clean and - on time! Communication is has been an issue w/ other companies. Not Phoenix. You have your own portal for communication, design plans/pictures and a detailed calendar. So you can easily see your(my) project unfold. Very comforting. Various members of "management" show up each day with the workers to discuss the days activities. Also any concerns or changes. I highly recommend Phoenix for your next project."

Architects questions, answered by experts

When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.

Choose an architect based on their portfolio, experience with similar projects, client reviews, and whether their design approach matches your vision.

Italianate architecture is a reinterpretation of Renaissance styles, combining elements of Italian farmhouses and villas with Victorian materials and construction. This home style emerged in the Victorian era, gaining popularity in the U.S. in the mid-to late-1800s. The style came about in response to what many then viewed as the too-rigid and stuffy Classical style designs. 

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.

Get prepared to meet with an architect by having a clear idea of what you’re looking for, a list of questions to ask, and as many project details as you can provide. The more information you can provide and receive from a prospective architect will help you decide who to hire.
