"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."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

Hiring a contractor with knowledge about historic renovations and reviewing their previous work is important. You can find a historic home renovation contractor by calling your local historic preservation office, historical society, or any local historic museums nearby. The staff may have suggestions for specialized contractors who have worked for them. You can also ask them about historic home restorations that you have seen and liked in your area to get recommendations for pros.

If your project is complex, it may make sense to hire an architect to draw plans. An architect might also be a good person to hire if you want to ensure your plans adhere to building codes and regulations.

As with most large-scale home renovation projects, you’ll need an architect to map out the exact layout and specs of your above-garage room, which is required in many municipalities. Some general contractors will serve as your architect, or they may bring on a residential architect to assist with the plans.

A home elevator is a fantastic way to improve your home’s accessibility. Elevators allow anyone, even those who use wheelchairs or walkers, to safely move between floors within your home.

Dumbwaiters may allow you to move items up and down floors, and stair lifts can move people up and down, but elevators are the best option if you need space for people, their belongings, and/or mobility aids such as wheelchairs.

That said, home elevators cost more than other options, such as stair lifts. Consider your needs and your budget when deciding the best way to make your home more accessible to a person with a disability or a person who is aging in place.
