"I was looking through Angie's list to hire an Architect and noticed "Mark Anderson Architects" was open (it was 7:30pm). Decided to give a call and I was expecting a receptionist to answer, but it was Mark himself. Talked to him about the project I had in mind and he gave me all the information over the phone. He was very straight forward. Thanks for your time Mark."

"I am pleased of the outcome of this firm of designers and you will be too very polite people and know their job and will give his name and company to others friends of mind that might have the similar problem and want an Architect professional. He was punctual every day to complete the job very patience with me in doing the design and helping with finding the right people to work with our plans. The entire job was done with patience and skills and he has a wonderful professional attitude with doing a fantastic job. The job went better than I expected because Mr. Senga was a wonderful person to work with and you will find out when you meet him and his work will also speak for itself."

"Modern Home Remodeling did excellent job in our bathroom. My husband and I are new home owners and were a bit afraid of hiring a company we never had anything to do with before to work on our dream home. Tomas the project manager was very honest, and patient which we very appreciated!! Our bathroom is definitely a bathroom we wanted in our dream home! We would highly recommend this company!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

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.

While possible for small projects, professional designers ensure compliance with building codes and structural integrity.

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.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

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.
