"Zach did plans for 2 homes for me and he did a wonderful job. One was a complete tear down and rebuild. He was meticulous with details and has true design talent. I would hire him again in a minute."

"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."

"Gretter and her team were amazing to work with. I have been renovating houses for some time but was at a total loss in designing this new kitchen space. Gretter design ideas were functional, practical, pleasing to the eye and included virtual design plans so I was able to see all the ideas/designs. Owners were on site every couple of days checking in on the job and communicated to us with daily updates and progress. The Home and Beyond team is knowledgeable, professional, exceptionally neat throughout the construction process and an overall pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them."

"Arthur gave us a fair and competitive estimate and was able to start work quickly thereafter. He and his team did an excellent job gutting and totally remodeling two bathrooms and a closet as well as redoing some of the wood flooring, moving vents, and moving hallways. Arthur himself was at the home everyday and did the important work himself. He also went the extra mile in helping us with small projects around the major project as they came up. He was extremely responsive in provided us with timely updates. When complications occurred (due to the house having not been renovated in 40 years) he was clear and helpful in keeping the project on schedule. He was extremely honest and I trusted him to be alone in my house for weeks on end with his team. I would/plan to work with Arthur again in the future for my home renovation projects."

"I had an incredible experience working with Icon Architecture on my home expansion and renovation. From start to finish, the process was seamless and timely. The team really took the time to understand my vision, and they executed it beautifully—delivering a result that exceeded my expectations. Their professionalism, clear communication, and attention to detail made the entire renovation stress-free. It’s rare to find a firm that not only delivers on time but also brings such creativity and dedication to truly bringing a homeowner’s vision to life. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Icon Architecture to anyone considering a renovation or expansion project."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

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.

The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.

You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.
