"We got AFM from Angie's list and are very happy that we found him. Anthony was professional and obviously knowledgeable. He assessed the problem and made very reasonable recommendations for a reasonable price. If we need an engineer or house inspector again, he will be our first call."

"Working with Esther and my account manager, Martha, was a real pleasure. Our informative conversations never felt rushed, and replies ro my emails were thoughtful and comprehensive--If occasionally somewhat delayed. The professional co-op set allowed my project to breeze through board approval. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"We hired Ezequiel and Israel for a backyard, basement and kitchen renovations. They made an amazing job. Prior to project started they explained all details and reviewed prices. Israel and his team worked 8 to 5 pm every day including Saturday. Sometimes they even worked later. Israel does top notch work and great to work with. Very professional, good listener, pays attention to details. My kitchen, basement and backyard look fabulous. Highly recommend this company!"

"I have lived on Tweed for 27 years === I bought my home in 1995 knowing I would take it down and build a dream home one day. For about 12 years I dreamed about how to capture the special land --- looking at many styles I kept going back to Jo Machinist homes and knew she was the architect for me. Jo has amazing taste and knew exactly what to do she worked with me on how to capture the sun rise and set (and the shadows) , how to frame an iconic tree and bring the Hudson River and the bridge into each room. Some of my favorite parts are the 140 foot retaining wall to secure the land, the levels to have the vanishing edge pool looking at the river while keeping the sun on the pool most of the day with an amazing cabana next to the pool. Jo always told me she would make my home my dream and together we did. I feel like I live in a SPA everyone who visits wants to move in. It was more than jus the house it was the entire property she transformed. Thanks, Deirdre Quinn"

"Ryan was fantastic! We wanted a large pergola built in our bar’s backyard. Ryan helped us design it and did the back-work to make sure we got what we wanted, while constructing it legally and safely. He also helped us get all the features we wanted in a way that was the most cost effective. We will go with Ryan anytime we need an architect from here on out!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Many drafters go on to continue their education and become architects. Drafting is a necessary skill for architects, so learning drafting is often the first step on a path toward becoming a licensed architect. Drafting can also be a career on its own, with plenty of drafters choosing to specialize and focus solely on drafting.

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

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.

When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.

Mediterranean architecture comes from traditional building styles of countries on the Mediterranean Sea mixed with French, Greek, and Moroccan influences. There are three main types of Mediterranean architecture: Italian Renaissance, Spanish Revival, and modern.

Some signature components of Mediterranean architecture include red terra cotta roofs, archways, stucco siding, and metal detailing on windows. These homes often have balconies and outdoor living areas.
