"Marc Anderson was incredibly helpful, walking me through the typical process and advising me that I may not need an architect for my specific renovation plans. However, if I do need an architect, he'll be happy to help and I feel assured that I'm dealing with a straight shooter."

"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."

Customers say: Super punctual

"J.D. was fantastic, we stated with a quick design consultation for a modest price to test the waters. J.D. showed up, was personable and extremely knowledgeable of his field. J.D. made my wife and I to feel very comfortable throughout the design and installation processes.
J.D. and his crew began on schedule and was flexible when we needed to change dates (and some plans) based on a new fence we were putting in, as well as delays due to weather.
J.D. discovered a tree in our yard was a "weed-tree" which could be damaging to the new landscaping/sod, as well as the garden we were putting in; he recommended a tree removal service whose costs were on par with other services in the area and within 1 day the tree was gone.
J.D's crew was very courteous and friendly when on-site, always a tip of the hat and a wave with a smile. J.D. is the designer and actually does overseas the implementation of the design, and is not afraid to throw a little mulch around.
My wife and I are ecstatic with the work he and his crew did, we just wish we had more green-space for him to work on.
You should absolutely hire this company, even if you don't really need the work done.

"When I contacted R&G Almanza Landscape, they were very professional on the phone. Since it was outside work they sent someone to come look over the property and give me a price for a seasonal snow removal contract. Raul Almanza emailed me promptly with his proposal. Since I had never done this before I wanted to meet him. He was very accommodating with my schedule and we met at my mom's to be sure he understood what I was looking for. Unfortunately this was pretty much a hand-shovel job, Raul assured me that he had a lot of properties like my mom and it would be fine. He explained that if it snowed more that 2" in the night, by 8am it would be cleared and salted. The property also has two parking spaces in the back and included in my proposal was shoveling out the two spots. AND he even said if the tenants cars were parked in the back he would have his men shovel around the cars. I couldn't believe it. Well, the winter snow season was mild between Nov. 2016 and March 2017. R&G Almanza had to come out in early December 2-3 times and the tenants couldn't rave enough about my new snow removal find. Then we had no snow until early March when Chicago got 6-8" of snow. Since I HATE snow I thought hiring R&G was my good luck (ha ha). Well we got dumped on in the beginning of March and I had no worries because R&G handled shoveling to perfection. I highly recommend R&G Almanza Landscape for snow removal services. I would try them for my mom's landscaping needs also but she has had the same company for over 30 years and at 89 she doesn't want to change. I explained that to Raul and he assured me that it was fine. When November 2017 rolls around, I will absolutely sign another contract for snow removal services with R&G Almanza Landscaping."

"Outstanding! We would never consider using another landscaping company. Hector and his crew were reliable, responsive, attentive to the smallest detail and professional. Daily follow up to ensure we were completely satisfied as the project progressed and when it was completed was second to none. I would not want to be a competitor of Aerate1 because they could not have done any better. These guys are the best you will find!"

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

A designer is a great choice for remodeling projects that don’t require significant structural work. For remodeling that includes structural work like removing load-bearing walls, altering exterior walls, or adding on a room, an architect can design and execute the renovations while ensuring your home remains structurally sound.

Most Greek Revival architecture homes are one and a half to two stories, depending on the footprint, which sets them apart from some Federal architecture homes that are three stories. The gabled roof on the second floor can sometimes cut into the living space, especially on smaller homes of this style, which leaves a much smaller living area upstairs.

New constructions, renovations, and interior layouts benefit from expert drafting.

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.

Architects often oversee project management to ensure design adherence, coordinate with contractors, and address onsite challenges.
