"I had worked with Chris on a large project before asking him to help us design our retirement home. We had some basic ideas of what we wanted and he was able take those ideas and translate them into the home in which we now live. It was important for us to have a home that would allow us to age in place and he more than met our expectations. My wife and I love our home and have no reservations in recommending him for any project. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Jim and Peggy"

"Dennis did an excellent job. He was fast, accommodating (drove a long distance to measure my property, on short notice) and accurate. He was patient, explaining things to me that would help me use the drawings effectively. He recommended additional online tools for me to use to design my furniture layout. I highly recommend him."

"I had recently moved to a new house and wasn't sure what was possible with my backyard. Vinlandsverket designed a plan that included a pool, lawn, planter boxes, and some simple brick paths. 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

You'll find Arts and Crafts homes across the country in varying styles. On the East Coast, bungalows and Tudor Revivals fill the Boston area through New Jersey. In the West, Mission-style homes incorporate terracotta shingles, white stucco siding, and rounded archways.

When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

In most cases, you should hire a draftsperson for simpler projects like minor home renovations, and you should hire an architect for new construction, structural changes to your home, and large home add-ons. If you’re working on a larger project that demands an architect or structural engineer, your professional will often have a draftsperson on staff and include their services in your estimate.
