"My husband and I came to the realization that we needed to replace our garage floor that had never been level, sloped to the center, and had deepening hazardous cracks. The asphalt drive also needed to be replaced. We used Angi, which is nice because you can see all of the reviews of each of the companies represented on the site. We chose 3 contractors for estimates. When Chris Hayes, the owner of Professional Contracting Iowa, showed up for the second estimate, we canceled the third one.. Chris was as impressive as were his dozens of 5 star reviews. Chris’s experience and expertise, and his communication skills to explain each problem and the best option for a quality and lasting fix, are top notch. I know nothing about construction and/or concrete, but Chris explained the replacement process well. My husband understands more as an architect, and was just as sold on Chris’s company. Chris’s crew was dealing with scattered rainstorms for a couple of weeks before our planned project, and we let him know that ours could be delayed if they needed to catch up. But his crew managed to make it on the scheduled day just several hours late. Bob, Mike and James arrived that afternoon and were professional, friendly, and focused on getting the garage floor and asphalt torn out so that they could pour the next day. But about 2 hours into the job, they discovered that they had not one, but 3 asphalt drives to tear out. The depth of the asphalt was 9 inches. That is a major deal since asphalt is more difficult to remove than concrete. At 6 pm, they had a total of 8 guys plus Chris working on the project until 9:30 pm. It was really hot, but all of them continued to have a positive attitude and were very friendly and courteous to any neighbors walking by. They were all coming back the next day at 7, but more rain delayed the start time until 10:30. They all worked very late again, but the pouring was done before they left! It is so refreshing to work with a contractor and crew that is responsive, dependable, and is interested in doing only high quality work. Nobody really wants to replace concrete drives or garage floors, but I am sure that when any of my neighbors have to do it, they will be calling me for the contact information for Chris and Professional Contracting iowa!"

"Des Moines Area Roofing was professional, trustworthy, and demonstrated excellent attention to detail from initial contact to job completion. Cleanup was so thorough that the next day you wouldn't even know that such a major project had taken place. It has been 2 weeks since the new roofs and we haven't seen even one stray nail left behind (and they did a complete tear down to both buildings, right down to the wood). An excellent company with which to do business. I offer my highest possible recommendation."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

It can take anywhere from a few days to several months to draw up architectural plans, depending on the complexity of your project. Architectural plans are highly detailed documents that take time to complete, and any changes or alterations can significantly extend how long they take.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

Designs typically take 2-6 months, depending on factoring, project size, and customization needs. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time for approval and revisions.

Your state’s architect licensing registry is an excellent place to begin when finding an architect. The state must license architects after completing the required education and with a minimum amount of experience. You can also ask other homeowners with similar projects who they used and their experience.
