"In my opinion Chris is truly a stand up guy... i have never dealt with a contractor like him in the Ohio Valley... he is honest and upfront... truly cares about treating your home respectfully and doing the job well. The fact that his team also carried this into the work they do is no surprise. Not only do I recommend ByAllMeans, they will be the company I will always call when needing work done. If I could give them a higher rating I would,"

"I hired Kalyn to design an addition and to totally redesign the existing house. She knocked it out of the park first with her personality and customer service. Secondly with her vision of how my home could be. She worked through a few design changes and it came out better than I could imagine. Super person to work with. The builders who are putting proposals together were impressed with her work and asked for her number for future projects."

"Gary and his crew were very polite. Their work was top notch and all of our suggestions were well received and acted apon promptly. They showed up when they were scheduled except when weather prevented. Then they called and let us know when they would be back. Later this year we will contract with them again to do some inside work. They are well able to do any type of work from home repair, remodeling or even building a new home. We felt that their price was very reasonable."

"I had a fantastic experience working with this drafting firm. From the very first phone call, Kirsten?our drafting consultant? was clear, professional, and incredibly helpful. She explained the entire process in detail and made sure all of my questions were answered up front, which gave me immediate confidence in the team. This firm partnered with engineers and architects to get the best quote for me on a stamp for my plans after they did an exceptional job on drawing the prints that met all the requirements for permitting. Their coordination and attention to detail made the process very simple on my end. If you are looking for a highly capable drafting firm that knows how to get things done right, I highly recommend them!"

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.

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.

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

Building designers charge between $2,000 and $50,000, depending on project scope, complexity, and customization.

The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.
