"While Keith is quite knowledgeable in his trade and at one time completed the work himself, it's quite evident he has an "A" and "B" team working for him. Our project went more than 10 days past the estimated completion date and they started 10 days before the estimated start date (there was a period of almost 2 weeks where no one worked at our house a single day and our deck was completely torn apart with building supplies taking over a section of our backyard grass). Keith did try to go above and beyond by obtaining some reclaimed granite to make my grill area a bit more sophisticated. Again, Keith knows how a job should be done but I clearly got the "B" or maybe even "C" team. Poor craftsmanship, corners cut and a stain job that was embarrassing to call professional left a real sour taste in my mouth. The kids he has working for him basically used my deck project as a training program. I eventually asked Keith to knock off a couple hundred bucks from the final payment because I could wrap up the staining myself 10 times better than his guys (which I've since started but not yet completed). I expected to be "wowed" with this project and after Keith said to me "I don't think I could ever truly satisfy you" I know the time to cut bait was then. There were numerous un-stained parts of the project and too many touch ups to note (e.g. Where you could clearly see the wood or previous paint under what they "painted"). Oh, and there is now deck paint on some of the wood siding of my house (again, sloppy job). Looking at the job after it was "done", i noticed many more corners that were cut - literally and figuratively. The railroad ties are not level (sloping severely down) and the cuts around the stairs are not even the same on both sides - making it look sloppy and uneven. Oh and there is so much sand now on my brick patio that I'm tempted to re-do it myself - and there's huge chunks of polymer missing and weeds coming through already... What Keith promised sounded awesome and I think with the right crew, I would have been wowed. Now, I'm just glad it's over and happy that it at least looks better than it did before they started. Make sure you're getting the "A" team. You'll know very quickly if you aren't..."

"G L Construction Management was such a great company to work with! I had numerous services completed by them in many rooms of my home. Very professional and friendly company. I wanted several things done before I moved into my new home and they worked very quickly to get me and my child settled in before Chrismas. I would recommend them for any household construction needs."

"We built a new house and the yard was in poor condition due to the clearing that was done. Stars & Stripes contoured the yard, brought in topsoil for an almost acre and seeded it. They also moved stone and used it in some artistic landscaping and bedding. The yard looks great despite the dry hot summer. Eric followed up several times during the summer and came back in the fall to add topsoil in a few places and reseed. He went beyond what was expected. I would highly recommend Eric and Stars & Stripes."

William B. Morris Architect
New to Angi

Serving Oberlin, OH and surrounding areas

In business since 1961

If you are not satisfied with the quality of design you typically find around town, and you want a home of the quality found in notable magazines such as Architectural Digest, then William B Morris Architect is for you. We provide captivating designs that you will not find in a plan-book or from a "house designer". We design homes specifically for discriminating clients. By listening carefully to your needs and aesthetic preferences we are able to design a home that is uniquely yours.\n\nThe first step in the process is to gather and analyze information and perform all the work necessary prior to actually designing your home. During this time we formulate a detailed �program� which defines your needs and objectives: function, size and relationship between spaces, character and image, and a host of other considerations that affect how you will live in your home. We analyze your site and determine the best placement of the house and spaces within to capture views and sunlight. During this stage we also establish the construction scope, budget and schedule. \n\nConceptual brainstorming and exploration define this portion of the design process. It begins with the creation of concept diagrams and rough sketches. During this time we determine the general layout, form and overall appearance of both the house and the site. Sketches, drawings and study models are prepared to help evaluate the ideas and concepts and set the final direction for refining the design.Once the size, layout and character of the home and site are refined, we begin to design feature elements such as stairs, cabinetry, fireplaces and built-in furniture. Drawings are prepared that describe some of the important technical details. Plans,elevations and sections through the house are developed.\n\n\n\nA graduate from Shaker Heights High School, William has lived in the area since 1937. Then received a degree in Architecture from the renown University of Cambridge. Bringing his education back to Cleveland to help design the city of what you see today.\n\n

Architects questions, answered by experts

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.

Architects bring expertise in spatial design, efficiency, aesthetics, and safety, translating complex needs into feasible, regulatory-compliant design plans.

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

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
