"I did not use them. I thought about it, but they were going to charge me way too much for the job I wanted them to do. It was $3000 for a quarter of acre worth of work. He was professional, but it seemed like he was looking to try to do more than I necessarily needed him to do. They were very quick and came the following day after I contacted them. He gave me the estimate right then and there while he was here talking to me."

"Charles and his brother, Jason Turner are some of the most professional, courteous, knowledgeable contractors I have dealt with. They took their time to turn out the excellent work on my deck. They also have been fun for my wife and I to deal with. They did not mind stopping their work to carefully explain what is going on. This is very refreshing. I would highly recommend Bonafide, Inc. to anyone looking for a contractor! That is as soon as I am done with them. I have another project for them. Thank you for your referral."

Architects questions, answered by experts

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.

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.

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.

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

Mediterranean architecture comes from traditional building styles of countries on the Mediterranean Sea mixed with French, Greek, and Moroccan influences. There are three main types of Mediterranean architecture: Italian Renaissance, Spanish Revival, and modern.

Some signature components of Mediterranean architecture include red terra cotta roofs, archways, stucco siding, and metal detailing on windows. These homes often have balconies and outdoor living areas.
