"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."

"Brendon replaced my kitchen subfloors and put a new linoleum, full trim all the way around, a bathroom bifold, and even put a special touch to the trim, so I'd think of my late farther who had worked in that same kitchen many moons ago. Brendon had some challenges with old school techniques, but worked long and hard to end with flooring, trim and doorway that was beautiful and I was pleased with the outcome."

"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."

Architects questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

Greek Revival architecture was popularized in America in the early- to mid-1800s, around the time when archaeologists were discovering buried ancient Greek buildings. As a means of celebrating the democratic government in ancient Greece, American architects borrowed from those newly discovered buildings as a way to emphasize that America would remain a democratic country in the wake of the American Revolution.
