"I am in the process of selling our home and the buyer's contractor sited significant issues with our foundation and quoted an exorbitant amount to fix. This is extremely disturbing as I did not suspect any issues prior. I scoured Angie's list and found AFM. Looking through their website and their certifications, I decided to reach out. I submitted a request late Friday evening and received a call early Saturday morning from Tony. I was very pleased by his expeditious response. We scheduled time for him to come visit on Sunday and he meticulously accessed the issued with our foundation. This turned out to be a minor issue that would require a small effort to fix. AFM also was able to turnover the inspection report within a day. I could not have asked for a better experience with AFM and Tony. If you are looking for piece of mind, AFM will not disappoint."

"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."

"Metropolitan Painting & Contracting painted my apartment, which included wallpaper removal, skim coating, baseboard replacement and painting. The quality of the work was excellent, the walls being very flat and lines straight. They started on the date planned and completed the project within the time estimate. Mr. G and his crew were very courteous, protected my floor and non-painted surfaces (wood, brick, bookcase), and worked with me to get the details right. Baseboard work and crown moulding work by carpenter Fernando was highest quality, being very straight and adjusting to floor height. I would hire Metropolitan again for my next project."

Architects questions, answered by experts

When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.

You should have an architect involved in your project from the very beginning. They’ll be able to direct your vision into workable plans, and they can advise you on potential problems right from the start. You may be able to save money by not using an architect, but larger projects will go much more smoothly with an experienced pro directing the process.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

It can take anywhere from a few days to several months to draw up architectural plans, depending on the complexity of your project. Architectural plans are highly detailed documents that take time to complete, and any changes or alterations can significantly extend how long they take.

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.
