"We had 2-3 years of constant road work as a result of storm Sandy (gas line and water line replacement) and there was a crack that expanded over time in the living area on the second floor. We needed to know if it was structural or cosmetic. Anthony arrived on time and began to examine the crack as well as take measurements to determine any significant changes. He was familiar with the land issues in this area, which I appreciated. He explained as he went along and also went to every room in the home and outside for any other evidence of cracks. He was extremely thorough in his inspection and advised how to correct the issue. In addition he also gave tips regarding procedures for any renovations on the property which was extremely helpful. There was a fee for the inspection and an additional fee for a written report. I would definitely hire again if I have any issues."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with George for the renovation of my apartment in Queens, NY, and I cannot sing his praises enough. From start to finish, George demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication to ensuring my vision was not only realized but exceeded. One of the most impressive aspects of working with George was his unwavering commitment to timeliness. Every deadline was met with precision, and the project progressed seamlessly thanks to his meticulous planning and execution. Moreover, George showcased an incredible knack for resourcefulness, always finding innovative solutions to any challenges that arose throughout the renovation process. His ability to think outside the box not only saved time and money but also ensured that the final result was nothing short of spectacular. What truly set George apart, however, was his exceptional communication skills. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process in a way that was easy for me to understand, alleviating any concerns or confusion I may have had along the way. His transparency and willingness to educate his clients are truly commendable. As for the design itself, I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome. George managed to perfectly capture my vision while incorporating his own unique flair and expertise, resulting in a space that not only looks stunning but also functions flawlessly for my lifestyle. In conclusion, I cannot recommend George highly enough. If you are looking for an architect who is not only talented and knowledgeable but also a pleasure to work with, look no further than George. My experience with him was nothing short of exceptional, and I am beyond grateful for the beautiful transformation he brought to my home."

"I had the pleasure of building two new homes with Jo Machinist in the past few years . I was looking for an architect that can put my imagination into reality . The project called for 2 homes on a horse farm, one for the horse trainer and one for the caretaker of the property . We wanted something that spoke to the style of the farm. Homes that had an interesting design and were functional to the operation. Jo hit the nail on the head so to speak. She designed the homes with style and functionality. Each house has high ceilings, open layout, with patios and porches plus mud room access which is important considering the elements the property deals with. She convinced me to upgrade all windows to larger sizes which added lots of natural light to living space. The final result upgraded the look of the property. I am very happy with the finished product and highly recommend working with her . She not only Provides the technical and architectural part of the project, in every step of the process she takes design and functionality into consideration."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Hire an architect at the very beginning of your home-building process. An architect’s training and expertise can guide the process from start to finish to ensure you don’t miss or have to redo any important steps. An architect will also provide valuable input on design, materials, and other details right from the beginning.

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.

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.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit. 

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.
