"We live in a 1970s colonial where the kitchen and living/dining rooms were separated by a wall with a doorway.  Watching so many shows on HGTV, we wanted an open concept where we could entertain guests.  Joe, the owner came in and gave us a solid quote, not the cheapest or most expensive.  Based off of previous Angie's List recommendations we made a great decision to go with Seamless Transitions Construction (STC).  
Once the project started, it was the little things that made for a very positive experience.  STC treated our house as if it were their own.  With a wall coming down between the old kitchen and dining room, and much of the area being taken down to the studs, there was a ton of dust.  STC built a temporary wall between the construction area and our family room with a door to keep the dust out.  At the end of each day, STC fully swept the construction area as we had to walk through it to get to the upstairs.  The range was kept operational for a good portion of the project until the point where the wiring was removed.  A temporary kitchen sink was installed so we could still do small amounts of dishes, etc.  
Removing a load-bearing wall to open up the area proved easier than expected.  STC strictly followed code and passed inspection with no issues.  Of course there would be plumbing that would need moving.  Supply lines cannot go in an outside wall, so STC figured out a way to build the lines into an archway that improved the look of the space.
STC did just about all of the major work from rough construction, removing the load-bearing wall, drywall, installing hard wood flooring, installing cabinets, painting, plumbing, electrical, appliance installation, etc.  I should mention that installing trim work for an older house without a straight wall proved to be a challenge that STC was able to handle with ease.  About the only task that was fully outsourced was granite counter fabrication and installation.
As with any major construction/renovation project, we had changes that we wanted made on the fly.  We had set the kitchen up with only one sink, but did not foresee that the distance between the gas cooktop and the sink would be as far as it was.  We ended up moving the location of the under cabinet microwave and putting another sink in its place.  Obviously this left us with the wrong type of cabinets in both spots (both were already installed along with the counter top, but STC was able to make it look as though it was the original layout all along.  
I would highly recommend STC for your kitchen renovation.  All of the employees were very professional and friendly and made the experience and enjoyable one!

"I was very happy with my experience with Rock Solid Exteriors. First I met Levi when he came out (in the rain) to look at my roof and provided a great estimate. Next I spoke with Tammie in the office to get the process moving forward. My project got scheduled quickly and within a week I was meeting the Brian, Luke and the rest of the team at my home. The roofing team did a great job of protecting my patio and landscape. Each time I came outside to see what work was going on, Brian answered any questions I had. Once they were done they cleaned up and as I walked the yard with them and each time I asked a question or pointed something out they patiently answered all questions. When I asked if they could take "one more pass" with the magnet for nails they said no problem and did another sweep. Finally, today I met Jeff when he and Luke came back to walk the property and answer any additional questions I had. I would recommend Rock Solid Exteriors to anyone in need of work on their home."

Architects questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

While possible for small projects, professional designers ensure compliance with building codes and structural integrity.

Your state’s architect licensing registry is an excellent place to begin when finding an architect. The state must license architects after completing the required education and with a minimum amount of experience. You can also ask other homeowners with similar projects who they used and their experience.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

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.
