"We had 6 different contractors bid on our deck/porch & siding project, and Russell's was a clear standout right from the start. This was a sizeable project for us, and even though Russell's wasn't the cheapest quote we received, project manager Keith did something that completely set them apart: He simply stayed in touch. From start to finish, Keith was communicative, responsive and always made himself available. He listened to us, kept detailed documentation, and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. In just a few short weeks, lead carpenter Todd & his talented team completely transformed our home. Thoughout the process they were friendly, respectful, professional & attentive to every last detail. We are thrilled with the quality of their work, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with this company."

The service really helped me plan the brand new yard I wanted! The service was fast, professional, easy, and provided great customer service!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

It can take anywhere from a few days to several months to draw up architectural plans, depending on the complexity of your project. Architectural plans are highly detailed documents that take time to complete, and any changes or alterations can significantly extend how long they take.

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

In the United States, architects must be licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia before being allowed to practice or seek business. Licensing requirements vary state-to-state, but overall the architect must be educated, attain a certain level of experience, submit to and pass an examination, and register as an architect. Find out if your architect is licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing search tool

The various types of architects can be broken down into eight distinct categories, but there can be specific specialties within each of them. Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.
