"David did a great job! He was able to start the work right away, and he came back 3 times to be sure everything got done. Polite, conscientious, capable, and kept a clean work area. I will definitely hire David Bell Construction again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the business to my friends."

"Ponds to Patios did beautiful work! They took out the old landscaping rock, and overgrown bushes and trees, and added an amazing water feature with surrounding plants and flowers and coordinated all new trees and bushes along the front of our home. We love it! The work was done when scheduled (even though it was the hottest week of the summer!) and the final cost was very close to the original estimate. And, to save us money, Andy was able to take many of the plants and bushes that he removed and replant them in other places in our yard and well as place a few back in the new design in the front. We will definitely call them the next time we need any landscaping ideas or work done."

Architects questions, answered by experts

For the Champaign climate, your toolkit should include a roof rake for removing heavy snow, ice melt safe for vegetation, and exterior-grade sealants rated for temperature extremes. A moisture meter is also useful for monitoring basements. For seasonal prep, keep pipe insulation and weather stripping for winter and gutter guards on hand for the fall to protect your home from the elements.

Helpful?

In Champaign, you should prioritize architectural service projects that address structural safety, weather damage from storms, or building code violations. Issues like foundation damage from freeze-thaw cycles require immediate attention. Aesthetic improvements or non-critical additions can often wait for the optimal construction season between April and October, when contractor availability may also be better outside of peak University of Illinois move-in periods.

Helpful?

Due to the climate in Illinois, maintenance should focus on preventing weather damage. This includes semi-annual HVAC system checks for temperature extremes, annual inspections of brick for freeze-thaw damage, and clearing ice dams from roofs after heavy snow. Quarterly gutter cleaning is also critical to manage drainage around foundations, especially given the area's clay soil conditions, which can lead to moisture issues.

Helpful?

Before beginning architectural service projects, apply for necessary building permits through the City of Champaign Development Services and verify local zoning compliance. It is also essential to call JULIE at least 48 hours before any digging. To avoid weather-related issues, schedule major exterior work during the optimal window of April to October and budget a contingency for potential delays.

Helpful?

To ensure safety during architectural service projects in Champaign, always use secure barriers to keep children and pets out of the work zone. For older homes, especially those near the University built before 1978, professional testing for lead paint and asbestos is a critical step. Also, choose low-VOC paints and finishes to maintain healthy indoor air quality, which is especially important during long winters.
