"GREAT experience with Tom and his crew landscaping the south side of my property! Very professional and super flexible, executed on project plan and easily worked in additional plantings, stone, and sod as project progressed and I wanted to add. Crew was on time every day, quick and efficient and very neat. Tom made great suggestions that enhanced original plan. Very fair price for the work performed. Best landscaper I have ever used, and I highly recommend!"

We had a lot of ideas and his crew put it all together for our dream kitchen. This project went so smoothly and the quality is perfection! They were a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend Emerald Remodeling."

"Mike did a great job listening to what we needed for a "small but mighty" mudroom addition and came up with multiple designs that were better than we thought possible for the limited space. His turnaround time and communication are excellent."

"Jessica and her team completed our project in 1.5 days which is what she initially said it would be. They worked extremely hard morning until late afternoon. Clean up was terrific! You couldn’t even tell someone had worked on our driveway. We enjoyed the bees and butterflies visiting our new plants/shrubs all summer! Many thanks to Jessica and her team at Better Yards and Gardens!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Paul Gregory is a professional in every sense of the word. His communication with me prior to and during the feasibility discussion was terrific; his ability to explain the engineering helped me “see” what he saw and the potential solutions. Without question, Paul is a highly skilled and experienced engineer, and these assets inform his creative and solid approaches to solving structural challenges. As others have noted, he is pleasant, timely, and has reasonable rates. I would not hesitate to refer him to my family and friends, and when my family moves onto the next step of our small kitchen re-model, he’s the first call I’ll make. Thanks, Paul!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.

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.

A floor plan is a less detailed illustration showing a building or room's layout from above, including elements like windows, doors, walls, and fixtures. It offers a simplified view for homeowners. In contrast, a blueprint is a more detailed, to-scale architectural drawing that includes all parts of the building plans, such as structural elements, construction details, and utility schematics. While a floor plan can be a type of view within a blueprint, the complete blueprint contains all the necessary details to turn the plan into a reality.

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.

Many drafters go on to continue their education and become architects. Drafting is a necessary skill for architects, so learning drafting is often the first step on a path toward becoming a licensed architect. Drafting can also be a career on its own, with plenty of drafters choosing to specialize and focus solely on drafting.
