"Neil was thoughtful and took his time to look at everything we wanted to show him. As he looked around he also made verbal suggestions on things that needed to be fixed that was not necessarily a part of the structure of the house, but to be safe; that was appreciated."

"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

"If you want a design lacking creativity, you can hire anyone else, but if you want a unique, beautiful and functional project within your budget, than Gary is the perfect Architect for you ! He will first, explain in detail the fee basis, and than come up with the most efficient ideas, using an amazing imagination. Gary has a deep knowledge of the Construction process, so he is readily available to be involved during the work with the builder. He made the whole process very comfortable for us, so I highly recommend him !"

"I?m Patti Phelps from Prime Estimation in Plano, Texas. We recently hired NextEdge Builders Corporation for an architectural project, and I supervised the work throughout. We first had them prepare our architectural drawings, and their output was excellent ? clear, accurate, and professionally done. After the drawings were completed, we moved ahead with a cost estimate, which turned out to be highly accurate, around 98?99%, and very reliable for our budgeting. What I appreciated most was how smoothly their drafting and estimation teams work together. Having both services under one company saved a lot of time and avoided unnecessary coordination. I confidently recommend NextEdge Builders Corporation for anyone needing dependable drafting and estimation services across Architectural, Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical scopes."

"Sal Cuciti was absolutely outstanding! From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and incredibly easy to work with. His expertise as an architect was evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to carefully review every detail, provided valuable insight, and explained everything clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. Sal was responsive, patient, and always willing to answer my questions. His attention to detail, experience, and commitment to his clients truly stood out. He made the entire process feel smooth and gave me complete confidence that I was in excellent hands. If you’re looking for an architect who is knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Sal Cuciti. He exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional architectural expertise and service."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.
