"Keegan is a true artisan. I hired him to build a dry stacked stone retaining wall and he built the most beautiful and carefully crafted wall that far exceeded my expectations. It's now one of my favorite parts of my property. He was quick to respond when I reached out, showed up when he said he would, and he was very easy to communicate with. He charged a fair price, was very kind and friendly, and he left my property spotless when he finished. We absolutely plan to work with him again next time we need a project done."

"LRL Designs drew the blueprint, designed my kitchen & 2 bathrooms and created a new entrance to my dining room, which created a much more open floor plan in my main floor. I love the way everything turned out and am very grateful for the professionalism and dedication from the designer. She was a pleasure to work with."

"I hired Abigail and Robbie for a small project redesigning my home office and it's easily been one of the best decisions I've made for myself in recent years. I worked primarily with Abigail - especially during the ideation phase. She is sweet, understanding, and full of brilliant ideas (and she keeps to the budget). Even from our first meeting she gave the impression the office would turn out even better than I'd hope. I wasn't wrong! Robbie (who worked with Abigail to put it all together near the end of the project) is super cool and charming, and he knows his stuff! Both have excellent craftsmanship. What was once a room I dreaded entering at the start of my workday and couldn't wait to leave at the end of it has turned into a space I actively look forward to being in. This room now feels warm, inviting, cozy, and comforting. I wish I had taken some before photos! My wife and I will for sure look to work with Gil Mill Homes on future projects. Go hire them now!"

"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."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.

In the United States, architects must be licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia before being allowed to practice or seek business. Licensing requirements vary state-to-state, but overall the architect must be educated, attain a certain level of experience, submit to and pass an examination, and register as an architect. Find out if your architect is licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing search tool. 

Mid-century modern architecture was a popular home style throughout the U.S. from the 1950s to 1970s. Most homes feature a wide and symmetrical floor plan with low-sloped roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows. Its minimalism and balanced appearance are back on the home style scene, particularly when maximizing sunlight, airflow, and a blend with the home's natural surroundings.

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.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.
