"After doing much research I hired John Krause Construction for a very large project: Sunroom addition, deck, patio, front hardscape and landscape with design of my entire house and yard! John came out personally and was very honest and his pricing was fair. They did an amazing job taking my vision and making it a reality. The crews were efficient and responsive. I will use them in the future."

"I contacted ANGI on Monday and by Monday afternoon José had already come to my home to give an estimate. Two days later all work was completed. JLD Landscaping did a FANTASTIC job to my overgrown flower bed. Weeds were pulled, shrubbery and bushes were trimmed, mulch was meticulously laid, rotted and dead foliages were cut back…Perfectly done for a very visible corner lot property. I was forwarded pictures of the completed work after it was finished and José communicated with me throughout the process. My flower bed looks brand new! Will use this company again. Highly recommended!"

"JS Landscaping did a fantastic job of removing the leaves from my front and backyard. Jose was great to work with scheduling the appointment. He fit me in on his first availability. The crew showed up on the scheduled day and efficiently collected all the leaves and transferred them into their vehicle. Outstanding job. Billing was all done through Quickbooks, which was super easy. Thanks Jose, appreciate all of your help."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The architect you choose to work with should have experience with the type of design you’re interested in, a portfolio of similar projects they’ve completed, and a process and work style that aligns with your expectations. A seasoned architect will be able to provide you with all that information so you can ensure they’re a good fit.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

While you will always work with a team of professionals at some point during your home build, homeowners with experience can take on some part of the process. Manage the initial brainstorm, brief writeup, and floor layout phase with minimal assistance before contacting a general contractor. And while you can purchase stock blueprints for some home designs, it's always best to speak with professionals when choosing one ideal for your property.
