"Architects Builder Group was incredibly helpful, walking me through the typical process I had for the conversion of a two-unit home to a third-unit home. Alaa was quickly responsive and provided professional and very detailed answers to my questions. Alaa is very knowledgeable about city code, zoning, and legal requirements. Very professional and passionate in his trade! I recommend ABG for any consulting and Architectural needs!"

"Fantastic - Kevin and his team are responsible for most of the landscaping of our home. They are dependable, thorough and excellent in quality. I recommend Kevin to all of my friends who are looking for quality landscaping work, which is very hard to come by. Kevin completed two projects for us this year that have been a major lift to our property and we get compliments on all the time. Cannot recommend Kevin and his team enough."

"What can I say that 5 stars can't? I had been looking for a landscaper for a home that I purchased with a badly neglected front lawn (I use the word "lawn" very loosely, as by this point it was a collection of weeds with a blade of grass here and there). I wanted to remove the grass and put a mix of flowers, edible plants, and black mulch. I interviewed about 5 landscapers all who seemed very capable. I chose Jeff because he was personable and obviously very passionate about what he does.. Jeff and Dave were super easy to work with. I had a few plants that I liked and they were able to tell me what would work best and why. They paired the plants on my list with other plants that really made everything pop visually when placed together. In the end, they designed a beautiful space that I couldn't have imagined myself. All while keeping to my requirements of having a low-maintenance and drought resistant yard. They installed sod in my barren yard-new build. Looks amazing. All the grass caught and we have a lush carpet yard. I now have a beautiful space that has flowers and plenty of edible additions. I sometimes catch myself staring out the window just admiring the landscaping. My neighbors all love it as well. I definitely recommend Jeff and team"

"KP Builders owner personally provides full scope of service professionally - from selection of material, design and construction - at a fairly competitive cost. His sub-contractors perform quality work. Looking forward to working with him on my next project - bathroom renovation."

"The finished product is beautiful! He was very professional and knowledgeable on the type of tree that would be best for our yard. He was hard working and kept his workspace and surrounding areas very clean! (And his price was more than reasonable!) I highly recommend him, and will definitely hire him again for future projects."

Architects questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you should hire a draftsperson for simpler projects like minor home renovations, and you should hire an architect for new construction, structural changes to your home, and large home add-ons. If you’re working on a larger project that demands an architect or structural engineer, your professional will often have a draftsperson on staff and include their services in your estimate.

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

You'll find Arts and Crafts homes across the country in varying styles. On the East Coast, bungalows and Tudor Revivals fill the Boston area through New Jersey. In the West, Mission-style homes incorporate terracotta shingles, white stucco siding, and rounded archways.

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.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
