"Anton really listened to our needs and desires in a house and deftly applied his extensive knowledge and practical experience to come up with a wonderful design that we could afford. He also (thankfully) was able to be the project manager which really helped make the overall concept a reality."

"He is a brilliant architect. I live in an old home which is always tricky. He designed our master bedroom in a 90 year old house in a way that didn't need any major structural changes. It looked as though the house was originally made for that design! The design he came up with also included everything down to the last detail. He does quality work and the guys he works with clean up after themselves. In the beginning of each project he extrapolates what it is that you are looking for. He doesn't try to push his latest design on you. His focus is solely on what each customer wants and he is very open minded to the taste of each client. He is incredibly efficient and I have never seen anybody work the way he does. Trent is very good at avoiding mistakes and his communications skills are excellent. He is very knowledgeable in his field, and because of that he completes projects very quickly and delivers high quality results. It is fun working with Trent because he makes it easy!"

"Andres Martinez and his crew with Cesar and Adan did a phenomenal series of jobs at our home. They put in a beautiful and functional driveway, designed and constructed a very nice fire pit, and made a nice pad for our bbq grill. We were very pleased and impressed with their timeliness, professionalism, skills/talents, courtesy, and attention to detail. The pricing that Andres provided was very good and competitive with others. We will hire he and his team in the future for additional projects. We give them a 9.5 out of 10. You will not go wrong hiring this team for your next project!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Architects bring expertise in spatial design, efficiency, aesthetics, and safety, translating complex needs into feasible, regulatory-compliant design plans.

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.

Yes, architects help navigate local zoning laws, acquire necessary permits, and ensure compliance with regulations, reducing delays and costly modifications.

Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.
