"Mike is my favorite architect. As a GC it's extremely important that I have a good working relationship with the project architect. Mike understands that the client's interests are the most important factor. Mike often makes decisions in favor of the client even when it means he will make less money from the project. I'm always excited to work with Mike because my projects run smoother with him involved and he often surprises me with his creative solutions to difficult architectural issues. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy, creative, detail-oriented architect. Thank you, Mike!"

"Jessica Nosbush Perez and the enter Better Yards & Gardens crew were wonderful. Jessica's design schematics and descriptions were fantastic for planning discussions, and she really heard me when I told her how very much I love PINKS! We have touches and pops of pinks all over our yard. Jessica and crew added trees and boxwoods and hydrangeas and all manner of beautiful growing things to help make our yard more beautiful. We were delighted with their work and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you, Jessica, and thank you Better Yards & Gardens!"

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.

Greek Revival architecture was popularized in America in the early- to mid-1800s, around the time when archaeologists were discovering buried ancient Greek buildings. As a means of celebrating the democratic government in ancient Greece, American architects borrowed from those newly discovered buildings as a way to emphasize that America would remain a democratic country in the wake of the American Revolution.

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.

Mediterranean architecture comes from traditional building styles of countries on the Mediterranean Sea mixed with French, Greek, and Moroccan influences. There are three main types of Mediterranean architecture: Italian Renaissance, Spanish Revival, and modern.

Some signature components of Mediterranean architecture include red terra cotta roofs, archways, stucco siding, and metal detailing on windows. These homes often have balconies and outdoor living areas.

Yes, architects specialize in both new construction and renovation projects, ensuring that additions blend seamlessly with existing structures while meeting safety standards.
