"Hal is a bit of a character and drives an old truck, but he is very pleasant and takes great pride in his workmanship. One of the few times in our history of several home projects where a project has exceeded our expectations."

"We could not be happier with the outcome of this project! Keenan and his team saved us from a DIY project that we bit off more than we could chew. He came out and gave us a quote less than 24 hours after reaching out to him and was able to get started on the project the following weekend. He was willing to work with the materials we had already purchased saving us the headache of returning everything. When we ran into issues with our pavers he took it upon himself to remedy the issue with the home improvement store the materials were purchased through. Again, going above and beyond what was agreed upon. He was upfront with cost changes as the project progressed and was cognizant on where he could save us money. We would, with not doubt, hire Keenan again."

"All the original concrete on the front patio and steps had been patched many times over the years and was now beyond the point of repair. To add complexity to the project, there was a storage room built below the front patio that used the patio concrete as its ceiling. We called several of the top concrete companies to receive bids. Four of the companies that came to do bids either refused the job on site or just never responded with a bid after our meeting. Our project was not simple, by any means, and there were quite a few logistical issues involved with the original design of the patio. Three other companies (including Pietigs Plus) provided bids, and all were competitively priced.
I decided to go with Pietigs Plus for a few reasons. First, Jeff Pietig spent quite a bit of time at the house investigating things prior to preparing a plan for the project. There were a lot of unknowns going into the demolition phase, and I felt more confident in how much time and attention he put into proper measurements and tests prior to determining his bid. Additionally, it was always easy to reach Jeff with questions, and he was enthusiastic about doing the work for us, which is something I didn't get from any of the other contractors.
After contracting Pietigs Plus to do the job, Jeff was great about working within our timeframe. We had quite a few other projects happening at the house around the same time, and we had to coordinate a tight schedule for his work, since the front entrance would be unusable until he was completed. Jeff and his crew were able to meet the timeframe perfectly, and they put in extra work over a weekend to finish on time, even with a few of the project's mysteries providing surprises along the way. They poured new concrete walls and the stoop for the patio, and they did an excellent job installing the patterned bluestone pavers and veneer stone around the patio. The quality of the work is quite impressive, and Jeff showed a lot of concern along the way to make sure we were completely happy with the results!
I would highly recommend Jeff and Pietigs Plus to anyone! They were great to work with and provided us with a beautiful new front patio! Our project attracted a lot of attention in the neighborhood, and I have had dozens of neighbors ask for his information. It really looks great, and we are incredibly happy with our decision to go with Pietigs Plus!

Architects questions, answered by experts

While towers and turrets are frequently present in Queen Anne-style houses, these design elements are not necessary for a home to be considered a Queen Anne. Turrets and towers add visual interest and unique interior spaces, but many Queen Anne homes do not contain these features. 

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.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.
