"This is a veteran and minority owned company, as a veteran myself I sought out this company to support veterans. I am most pleased with the finished product. I will use the services of SKB again. Customer service was awesome and the product was completed in a timely manner."

"Rusty Rials did an excellent job installing the gutter guards. He also repaired extensive roof damage caused by rodents. And has done some painting and miscellaneous tasks as well. He is meticulous, honest, dependable and reliable. I kind of hate to share him because I know he will get busy and I like having him available!"

"It went extremely well. So well in fact that I hired them to do some additional work. I called other companies and could not even get them to show up to even give me a bid. D & T showed up both time's on time when they gave me the bid and when they started the job. From the beginning to the end, from cutting down the tree to the clean up and hauling off was quality work. Would recommend D & T highly."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

Villa exterior features often include large windows, arched doorways, patios, terraces, greenery, and gardens. Common exterior colors for villas are whites and off-whites, soft browns, and clay tones. 

The most idyllic building material that encapsulates the feel of Federal architecture is a brick facade, often with bricks alternating between long side and short side. Palladium and arched transom windows are also prevalent, as are flat, white window lintels. More ornate Federal architecture buildings also include columns on either side of the front door. More important than most of the finer details, though, is the symmetry from the exterior. On the interior, ornate plaster moldings and plaster ceiling medallions are indicative of the style.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

A floor plan is a less detailed illustration showing a building or room's layout from above, including elements like windows, doors, walls, and fixtures. It offers a simplified view for homeowners. In contrast, a blueprint is a more detailed, to-scale architectural drawing that includes all parts of the building plans, such as structural elements, construction details, and utility schematics. While a floor plan can be a type of view within a blueprint, the complete blueprint contains all the necessary details to turn the plan into a reality.
