Q: Do architects build houses?

• <div><p>Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hire-a-general-contractor.htm">general contractor</a> or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.</p></div>

Q: What is the point of an A-frame house?

• <div><p>The steep slope of an A-frame roof withstands high winds, heavy rain, and heavy snowfall, making them popular all over the world. A-frames also offer simple, quick construction. Finally, an A-frame typically has large windows on the non-roof sides to let in a maximum amount of natural light. Consequently, they are often an affordable building solution for the right homeowner and location.</p></div>

Q: Where can you find carriage houses?

• <div><p>In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.</p></div>

Q: Is a guest house a bump-out addition?

• <div><p>A guest house is not a bump-out addition. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-bump-out-addition.htm">bump-out addition</a> is a small home addition built onto a preexisting room of your house, like a bay window or walk-in closet. While you can do a bump-out addition to a constructed guest house, a guest is not a bump-out addition. Other common bump-out additions are extra living room seating, space for a bathtub in a bathroom, and extra cupboard space in a kitchen. </p></div>

Q: What makes a house a villa?

• <div><p>While many different factors determine whether a house is classified as a villa, many villas are detached homes with a European design influence, often with an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Modern villas often feature outdoor spaces such as terraces, gardens, or patios.</p></div>

Kevin went above and beyond in the job we hired him for. He was very professional and paid attention to all the details of our home and made suggestions that made our home look great. We would hire again if ever we needed any other repairs. He and his crew were absolutely fantastic.

They came in during the day while I was at work. When I came home, everything was spotless. They moved the furniture for me and cleaned up after themselves. The only thing that was different was the new window they installed!

"Cole did a great job from start to finish! Instead of buying a new countertop, he made one out of white cement and pieces of colored, broken glass. The countertop and farm sink look wonderful."
