"The project went excellent!!! Brandon walked me through every step of the way and he kept me abreast of all and changes that had to be made and all issues with permits with the city of Southfield, MI. It was a pleasure working with Brandon and his company when way above my expectation of the final outcome. I will truly recommend Brandon company for any size project big or small. Brandon is truly a professional and he listen to his customer needs and wants."

"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."

"Joe came to our house, talked over our plans. I did some of the leg work to save some cash and he wrote up the plans. Saved me thousands buy letting me do some of the leg work and he offered it without me asking. Then once submitted the city came back with things I never even heard of and I called Joe. He called the city planing dept and they discussed it over. I few more details and it went right on thru for approval. I'm very happy with the results of JSN Design and Joe himself! Thank you so much so Joe... SIncerely Michael and Robyn Love."

Architects questions, answered by experts

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.

Most Greek Revival architecture homes are one and a half to two stories, depending on the footprint, which sets them apart from some Federal architecture homes that are three stories. The gabled roof on the second floor can sometimes cut into the living space, especially on smaller homes of this style, which leaves a much smaller living area upstairs.

The country's most famous Neoclassical architecture appears in major government buildings and college campuses. The White House is unmistakably the most famous example, though the Capitol Building and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello are also iconic uses of the design.

Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

Italianate architecture is a reinterpretation of Renaissance styles, combining elements of Italian farmhouses and villas with Victorian materials and construction. This home style emerged in the Victorian era, gaining popularity in the U.S. in the mid-to late-1800s. The style came about in response to what many then viewed as the too-rigid and stuffy Classical style designs.
