"Went with Marvella because of their honest assessment of our needs and our budget for a new patio and quick responses. We decided on a concrete pour, and there was no attempt to guilt us into up selling, they talked us through the whole project, walk us through the process (including getting a survey done, HOA letters, etc) and worked with local contractors at each step. We are very happy with the results, and will be recommending Marvella to all our family and friends."

"I hired an architect to do a cafe sketch for the permit purpose. She did the sketch and I paid her in two deposits via check $600 each for a total of $1200 and I paid her $350 for the application fee and she made me hire someone else to do the seal and I have to pay that person $600. I gave her two checks and for the service application, she said once she finishes and submits it to the county, then I can pay her a check. She submitted the application to the county on Nov 6, 2023, around 8 PM. She texted me around 10 p.m. and asked for the $350 for the application fee. I told her I would give her a check tomorrow, but she refused to accept a check. She said I want Zelle. She said she doesn't have time to meet me. I said okay, then I emailed her the check for $350, but she withdrew the application from the county. When I went to the county today, they told me the architect who submitted the plan, withdrew everything. I reached out to her and told her if she can't finish her job, she needs to return my money so I hire someone else, but she is not responding. She wasted 10 days of my time, took my money and at the end disappeared."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

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.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

Greek Revival and Federal architecture are quite similar in that they focus on symmetry and a blend of utilitarianism and opulence, but they differ in a few key areas. First, Federal architecture tends to include a brick facade, whereas Greek Revival homes more often have stucco siding, much like you’d find in Mediterranean houses. Greek Revival homes also tend to be a bit more ornate, with columns as decor, and more decorative and formal porticos.
