"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."

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"We met with owner/senior architect, Firmin Senga to join us in the viewing of our desired property. We wanted to have an architect on board with us for reassurance that the updates we plan will work before we make an offer. He was very helpful."

"I read a lot of reports before choosing Raul, and they indicated both that he was incredibly good at what he does, and has a good eye for it, as well as that scheduling could be a hassle.  I was prepared for some responsiveness/scheduling issues, so they did not bother me.  Based on what I had read, and my initial meeting with Raul, I was committed to using his services.

When I met with Raul to discuss the work, I told him what I wanted in very general terms and described some of the typical problems we have with rain, the dogs, etc.  I then basically told him to do what he thought was best.  And boy am I glad I did!! They did a week's worth of work in one day, the price was very reasonable, and the results are outstanding.  Where my yard was once dirt, rocks, overgrown or wraggly bushes and weeds, it is now serene and neat.  The flagstone he laid is perfect, and I would never have planned out what he planned.  The plants he chose and location for the plants are just ideal.  I couldn't be happier with the results, and I think Raul is very talented.  

If you want professional landscaping and thoughtful design, but don't want to pay a landscaping architect outrageous fees, trust Raul's judgment.  He is awesome and worth a few scheduling headaches.  I am in love with my new backyard retreat.

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Mid-century modern architecture was a popular home style throughout the U.S. from the 1950s to 1970s. Most homes feature a wide and symmetrical floor plan with low-sloped roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows. Its minimalism and balanced appearance are back on the home style scene, particularly when maximizing sunlight, airflow, and a blend with the home's natural surroundings.

Aging-in-place universal design features can make your home more comfortable for family members who are older or have disabilities; they can also make your home safer. In addition, adding a universal-design bathroom can boost your home’s overall resale value.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit. 

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.
