"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 Paul has a keen eye for whatâ s possible that transformed my tired, outdated space into a modern, updated place that everyone complimemts.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."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

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.

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.

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. 

Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.
