"Beware. They were supposed to provide an independent, third-party assessment of what was required to repair our storm-damaged roof in compliance with the KCMO building code. But they were nothing more than "guns for hire," basically inventing something to put in a report to make our insurance company happy. They clearly care more about keeping a bunch of insurance-company work coming through their doors than providing an honest, ethical assessment. They also refused to communicate with us, and ignored what the city codes department repeatedly said about how the building code applies to our specific roofing issue."

Established in 2007, Everstead is an engineering and design consulting firm that provides a wide variety of services for the residential industry. We service homeowners, realtors, contractors, and builders.

"Our house had some major settling issues with the garage and two attached rooms on concrete slabs. I contacted 3 foundation companies for bids. After 2 companies gave me bids I was so confused on what they were proposing and on the prices they were quoting, I turned to Google to try to take a crash course on piering and foundation repair. The advice I found on Google was even more confusing except for one recurring suggestion: Hire an independent Professional Engineer (PE) to evaluate the structural problems in the home to advise me on the best way to fix the problems with the foundation. I did another Google search for local companies doing such an evaluation and came across Everstead which had great reviews and history. I hired them to help me decide how to fix our issues. Jeremiah, my PE, was terrific! He measured settling all throughout the house, suggested the best solutions to fix the problems I had with three areas of the house, and was extremely patient with my questions and answered all in a way I could understand. His evaluation visit was about 3 hours long. After he left I had a plan of action that I took back to the foundation contractors to revise their bids by adding some things and taking away some things. The bottom line is Jeremiah saved me a lot of money on work not necessary at this time, on things that weren't a priority now but might be in the future, and on the best methods to fix our various issues. Jeremiah also answered several questions on several occasions after talking to my three companies about his recommendations. That REALLY helped because one company balked on some of his suggestions and another had different approaches that didn’t quite match his approach. His evaluation and answers to my questions after getting feedback on his evaluations from my selected companies helped me decide on which company to select, not by name, but by that company’s solution which more closely matched his suggestions. I highly recommend getting a PE and I highly recommend Everstead!!!!! P.S. –Jeremiah was totally an independent advisor to me. He had heard of the companies but never gave me an opinion on them as a company or which to choose. He only provided a PE’s advice on the best way to fix our problems"

We have been in the construction business for more than 5 years now, in that time we have remodeled, refurbished, and reconstructed hundreds of homes. Also, we have accomplished to make over a hundred families filled with happiness. Our business continues to grow from day to day. Our flourishing clientele proves that we are doing an excellent job.

"I asked them to do a basement bedroom and bathroom job. Aleks, the owner, came over and checked everything out and he was able to give me a quote within a few days at price below what I expected. He gave me a timeline that was faster than expected also! I had a certain way I wanted to do payments based on negative experiences with other contractors. I was surprised at how understanding and considerate he was to my situation. His main workers, Josh and Matt, were very professional and polite. I had no issues leaving them to their work while trusting them to inform me quickly of any input or suggestions they required from me. They were very delicate with floors, dust and noise they caused. I highly recommend Aleks and his crew for honesty, diligence, courtesy and value! His shop is definitely worth a look. His inventory is better in value and styles than Home Depot or Lowes."

Gahagan-Eddy builds one-of-a-kind custom homes in the Kansas City area. We are known for our solid construction, transparent pricing, superior craftsmanship, and timeless style. Other builders appear to think that custom is just offering you a list of pre-selected options or flipping the layout of a home they’ve already built. But we believe that custom is a ground-up design that is entirely yours. Some builders avoid new ideas. But that’s where we thrive. Clients expect us to never compromise on workmanship, precision, or integrity. Therefore, our owners insist on being personally involved with every project. Our reputation depends on it. From uncommon fixtures, to timeless wallpaper, to the more mundane aspects of planning your space, such as the proper clearance around your dining room table, we are with you every step of the way. Either it’s built by Gahagan-Eddy. Or it’s not.

Architects questions, answered by experts

Depending on project scope, complexity, and building size, architectural services for businesses typically cost between $2,000 and $50,000. Fees can be structured as hourly rates, fixed pricing, or a percentage of total construction costs.

A cathedral ceiling is a type of vaulted ceiling with a symmetrical peak that follows the pitch of the roof. They typically peak at a height of 12 to 20 feet, although they can go higher. This dramatic height and steep peak mimic the architecture of many historic cathedrals, which is where they got their name.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

Yes, architects help navigate local zoning laws, acquire necessary permits, and ensure compliance with regulations, reducing delays and costly modifications.

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.
