"He was out of business because he had chosen to try another profession.  Two weeks ago he gave me a call and said he was back in business.  My brother has used him extensively and I've used him for several projects.  Now that he is back in business, I'm having him come back and do some projects for me.  His name is Daryl Fegatto.  I highly recommend him and in fact I have recommended him to others.  His license ensures free estimates, framing, roofing, siding, room additions, custom decks, trim carpentry and hardwood.  He did siding when my brother built his house.  He did my brother's basement and he may end up getting mine when that time comes.  He made my garage from 20 by 20 to 20 by 30 and he reroofed all that about eight years ago.  He has purchased some land, built homes and sold them.  He has a tendency to over build which we pay for but the projects he does is going to last.  He is not fly by night kind of operation."

Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.

Renaissance-style architecture predates Italianate architecture and serves as an inspiration for many elements of the Italianate style. Renaissance architecture adheres to the rules of classical architecture, while Italianate architecture adds elements that served to modernize the Renaissance style for the Victorian era and allow this style of home to be produced in a range of sizes to be attainable for various budgets.

Yes, architects specialize in both new construction and renovation projects, ensuring that additions blend seamlessly with existing structures while meeting safety standards.
