"Elijah installed 200 ft of stone and metal border/edging, removed several small trees, planted appx 12 hedge bushes, delivered and spread 30 yards of mulch, and did several other things in my yard. Work was top quality, and his communication was even better. He kept me informed about every detail of the work being performed. The best example of Elijah's professionalism is as follows..... The excavator did a number on my yard because of the excessive rain we had. My back yard grass was a nasty, muddy mess. It wasn't Elijah's fault, but he said, "I'm going to make your grass look better than it did before we started your project." And he did. He graded, aerated, seeded, and put hay over the seed, at no cost. He did it because he cares about his customers and he always wants to do the right thing. I have other small examples as well, but the point is that I WOULD NOT HESITATE to hire Elijah/Chase for ANY landscape work I need in the future."

"Javier and his team did a beautiful job. Our old garage was run down, lots of exterior rot, busted windows, and they made it look like a brand new building! The crew was here on time every single day and worked until the job was done, not skipping around other job sites. Great skills, great communication, and we have already discussed other future projects with them."

"Our addition looks wonderful. All our friends say it looks like it was always part of our house. All phases of construction were excellent. All subs were excellent. The price was fair. Here is our story. We had been looking to add a room to our house for a year. We had been fired by 2 contractors who found bigger jobs before they could start our project. In comes GreenFinn, David Green and Chris Finn. They immediately put us at ease which was not easy considering our previous experience in trying to get our addition started. My wife Teresa made the remark to me after we first met with GreenFinn. â These guys will not screw you.â Her intuition proved correct. Other contractors wanted $2K plus to draw up plans just to get a building permit. At our second meeting with GreenFinn, Chris had drawn up plans and gave them to us for free and with out a contract. They started building our addition with no money down. David said that they would bill us after they delivered something of value. They worked for a month before sending us an invoice. All work came it at or below our contract price. There was no â contractor upward creepâ in the pricing at any time. They added a 14â x14â room with 5 windows, 2 skylights, one exterior door, cut a new opening into our house and converted our back door into an open passage way to the new room. They repaired a leak in the roof of our existing home and re-roofed part of it. They also added supports under our kitchen floor. All repairs that could not priced up front were also priced fairly and within the parameters they outlined. All finish work was excellent and on time. David Green is the onsite face of the company and he makes sure that all work is done to the customers satisfaction even when the customer is willing to accept less. One example at our job, the opening through a wall in our house had been cut larger than I really liked. David asked me how I liked it and I replied it was fine, but he could tell that something was going on in my head. and he kept probing until he had me admit that that I would prefer a smaller opening. It was changed immediately to the size that I really wanted. Here is the contractor pushing the home owner to make a change that the home owner really wants, but will cost the contractor more money. This is rare. This is how GreenFinn works, they donâ t just get the job done. They push you to make sure everything is done the way you want it and looks the way you want. In closing all I want to say is if you are smart, you will use these guys. You will not be sorry. Ridley Hutchinson 303 570 7270"

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

The architect you choose to work with should have experience with the type of design you’re interested in, a portfolio of similar projects they’ve completed, and a process and work style that aligns with your expectations. A seasoned architect will be able to provide you with all that information so you can ensure they’re a good fit.
