"C&C is a waste of corruption and nonsense. Hawaii needs to get rid of the entire corrupt government officials. Fair and Equitable taxation is nowhere in Hawaii. Simple arithmetic will genuinely show how corrupt Property Assessment is where those who own less pay higher taxes per square foot than those who live in luxury."

Aloha, Gombio Construction LLC is a owner operated company that has started about 2 years ago. I have been doing drywall for 13 years with the carpenters union. I provide new drywall installations, patching, and finishing of drywall, I also am capable of painting small projects. I am also capable of putting back bathrooms and kitchens after drywall repairs are complete due to water damage. I take a lot of pride in what I do and look forward to working with you.

"Excellent work! The drywall repair is seamless, and the texture and paint match perfectly. You would never know that a water leak above had made a gaping hole in my soffit. Communication was prompt and courteous Care taken protecting my floors and cleanup was great, too."

"My deck was old and rotten. Dave and his crew tore out the old deck, replaced joists that needed it and replaced the whole deck with Trex. My only regret is not spending the extra money to replace the railing with Trex as well. My deck still looks great and we enjoy it on a regular basis."

Architects questions, answered by experts

While Craftsman-style houses are bungalows, cottages typically aren’t, though they can be. But they also differ in other stylistic aspects. For instance, cottages usually have simpler designs and painted woodwork.

When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.

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.

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.

Greek Revival and Federal architecture are quite similar in that they focus on symmetry and a blend of utilitarianism and opulence, but they differ in a few key areas. First, Federal architecture tends to include a brick facade, whereas Greek Revival homes more often have stucco siding, much like you’d find in Mediterranean houses. Greek Revival homes also tend to be a bit more ornate, with columns as decor, and more decorative and formal porticos.
