"My wife and I were considering having some remodeling done to our house but we were not sure how it would all work. A friend recommended we hire an architect or draftsman to help with the ideas. We submitted the request through Angie's and found Richard from iCornerstone. We live in Tyngsborough and he came to our house from Weymouth and spent the day measuring everything in the house and provided us with an outstanding renderings and diagrams of our house from all the floors. We didn't have any original drawings and neither did the town wit details. Richards work was exemplary and nothing short of outstanding. He really knows his stuff and he kept in contact the entire time. We asked for the changes and he made them to a second diagram with a 3D layout we could show to the contractors for the remodel. I highly recommend Richard and iCornerstone for any of your needs."

"Hossein Vahedi of CLASSICAL HOMES LLC designed our house and supervised the construction process. He was friendly and easy to work with, had many creative ideas, and really tried to understand our needs. He worked well with our general contractor. His price is very reasonable. I highly recommend him to people who want to create their own dream house, but need professional help to translate their ideas to doable project."

"Cesar and his team were a pleasure to work with. I hired them to redo my kitchen and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. Once the kitchen was gutted, we discovered some surprises (insufficient framing and rotten roof planks), which Cesar's team handled expertly. His men are true craftsmen and were able to resolve every issue with ease and professionalism. Cesar is very communicative and always available to discuss plans and changes. The work is superior and the finished product is stunning. I couldn't be happier and wholeheartedly recommend them."

"Michael not only included the design and the needs we had he came up with ideas and things that we hadn't thought that made our addition so much better. I highly recommend working with a pro architect! Working with a true professional allows you to get a product that you wouldn't get on your own. His ideas and suggestions were top class. I highly recommend him!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.

When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.
