"The Design One team provided the best quote, started and completed the job as planned, provided excellent work/craftsmanship and exited the property cleanly as expected. The job had two minor over-runs that were discussed ahead of time and agreed to. The finished product is superior to the original as multiple problems with the initial design technique were remedied. Overall, Design One met or exceeded expectations and is highly recommended for future Landscape Construction Services."

"I always wanted a bigger kitchen. Paul suggested opening up two walls to enable bar seating surrounding the kitchen stove area. This updated my historic 1938 ranch into a really modern open floor plan. It became an entertainerâ s dream that allowed for conversation with everyone in the combined space that included the kitchen, dining and living room. Paul has a keen eye for whatâ s possible that transformed my tired, outdated space into a modern, updated place that everyone complimemts. Heâ s the visionary thought partner who knows whatâ s possible in construction, and has the top level building and carpentry skills to make it look fantastic. Heâ s a true rarity in the construction industry - Excellent quality workmanship at affordable prices. I highly recommend Paul for any construction job."

"Jerrod and his crew did an excellent job on our home addition and front porch. He was good with communication throughout the process. I felt completely fine with them working on our project while we were at work. They were respectful and cleaned up daily during the work. Jerrod was also open to changes and questions. I would recommend them to family and friends. The payment schedule was appropriate, too. We just made the final payment on completion and we would consider having him do future projects for us."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The most idyllic building material that encapsulates the feel of Federal architecture is a brick facade, often with bricks alternating between long side and short side. Palladium and arched transom windows are also prevalent, as are flat, white window lintels. More ornate Federal architecture buildings also include columns on either side of the front door. More important than most of the finer details, though, is the symmetry from the exterior. On the interior, ornate plaster moldings and plaster ceiling medallions are indicative of the style.

Greek Revival and Federal architecture are quite similar in that they focus on symmetry and a blend of utilitarianism and opulence, but they differ in a few key areas. First, Federal architecture tends to include a brick facade, whereas Greek Revival homes more often have stucco siding, much like you’d find in Mediterranean houses. Greek Revival homes also tend to be a bit more ornate, with columns as decor, and more decorative and formal porticos.

As with most large-scale home renovation projects, you’ll need an architect to map out the exact layout and specs of your above-garage room, which is required in many municipalities. Some general contractors will serve as your architect, or they may bring on a residential architect to assist with the plans.

Costs vary depending on project complexity and scope. Architects generally charge a percentage of the total budget or an hourly rate for their services.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.
