"Viau Builders repaired the front porch on our house which had become unlevel because the foundation on one side of the porch was settling. They replaced a support pole on the porch, re-leveled the roof and railing, and re-routed the related gutters. We were very happy with their work and professionalism. They were very easy to work with, flexible in meeting our needs, and provided high quality workmanship. We highly recommend this company for residential home improvement projects."

"Terry and his crew (led by Dan on site) did a fantastic job waterproofing our entire basement, installing an exterior sump pump, and re-landscaping. We had several quotes from several really good companies for this sizable job and we chose Chubb because we really liked how Terry communicated with us during the quoting phase and explained the project. This excellent communication continued throughout the project and through to completion. The day after everything was finished and the crew departed, it rained for a solid 24 hours straight. Our basement stayed completely dry. Had we not waterproofed, we would have been down there with the wet vacs again and cleaning up for days. Couldn't be happier!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

Stone, marble, and brick are common building materials of Neoclassical architecture, though you will also find wood flooring and a range of natural stone tiles. Since several home styles fall under Neoclassical architects' umbrella, a range of building materials—including traditional wood framing—will make an appearance.

Get prepared to meet with an architect by having a clear idea of what you’re looking for, a list of questions to ask, and as many project details as you can provide. The more information you can provide and receive from a prospective architect will help you decide who to hire.
