"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!"

"Very well. They are true professionals. John and Nathan know what they are doing. Always polite and clean up daily. We had a hole in the wall on the bedroom side and John came after hours, on his way home from another job, just to do the hole. I was then able to paint that wall before we had carpet laid. Very accomidating to our needs. They worked us into their busy schedule which allowed us time to perform some of the work ourselves. They were able to finish the work a week ahead of schedule. We are truly satisfified and have had many compliments on the improvements."

"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

Blueprints are generally available for houses built after the early 1900s. Before then, detailed building schematics like blueprints were rarely used and even more rarely saved. If you have an older house and need blueprints, you can have a new set drawn up by an architect or draftsperson.

In most cases, you don't need to hire an architect for a garage conversion. Your garage conversion contractor should have the skills and experience to help create your desired design. However, if the scope of the conversion is large and complex, and your budget allows, it's smart to hire an architect to oversee the design.

Many architects offer 3D modeling and virtual walkthroughs, which allow clients to visualize the project and make informed decisions before construction begins.

The country's most famous Neoclassical architecture appears in major government buildings and college campuses. The White House is unmistakably the most famous example, though the Capitol Building and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello are also iconic uses of the design.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.
