"I contracted with TVP for engineering plans for a home addition in February, 2023. The sales person Phil McDodson, made an agreement to stay with the project through to the permit but walked away as soon as the county required additional information. At that point Janae Spinney stepped in and would not quit on me until that promise was complete. A special thanks to Joseph and Caleb for getting us through to the end. Every engineer and staff member with TVP was polite, knowledgeable and saw the job through. It was just approved January, 2025. Great company and I appreciate all you did for us!"

"I had an addition I wanted for our home. We were required to have a survey and an engineer drawing to apply for the permit. I had a list of 10-15 local engineering companies given to me by the permitting office. Very few would return my call. several the rest said they only do commercial or that this was too small of a job and would cost more. It was taking months and I was frustrated and decided to try Angie’s. I am so pleased. I had a response that very day I inquired for the job. It was clear what was needed from me. Great communication and answered questions to help me get them what they needed. The project from start to finish was drafted within 3 weeks. It could have been done sooner but I was traveling and not able to check emails. Once I told them to text me to alert me of an email they did that. I would highly recommend them."

"I had an outstanding experience working with Macadam Floor and Design and I can’t say enough good things about my flooring representative, Katie. From start to finish, the process was smooth, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable — which is not something you can say about most home projects! Katie stood out immediately for her professionalism and warm, approachable style. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, walked me through options without overwhelming me, and provided thoughtful recommendations that truly elevated the look of my home. Her product knowledge is incredible, and she made sure I felt confident in every decision. The installation team was equally impressive — punctual, skilled, and respectful of my space. The final result is absolutely beautiful, and the quality of the workmanship is clear in every detail. If you’re looking for a flooring company you can trust, ask for Katie. She made the entire process stress-free and delivered a result that exceeded"

"Lisa is a genius! With creativity and precision, she maximized every nook and cranny of our tiny 1906 cottage and brought it into the 21st century, while maintaining its original charm and character. Our "new" home is so much more functional now, and a delight to live and work in. Lisa took the lead on our projects (kitchen, bathroom, basement), but Adam is equally savvy. Both are fantastic listeners, brainstormers, collaborators, total professionals and all-around lovely human beings. We highly recommend Christie Architecture, and look forward to working with them again in the future!"

"What should have been (and I was told would be) a simple and quick project (a built in bookshelf with window seat) was lengthy, frustrating, and ended with us just saying leave it how it is (with bookshelf green paint on our grey walls and damage to the bookshelf’s fr installation. This was after the team (or subcontractors) came to our house on 6 separate days for installation. One of the visits the team didn’t even show up with what they needed, did no work and left. Two of the visits were to fix problems from the installation after I had to email and send pictures of issues. From afar the bookshelf looks nice but issues up closes and the continuous hassle of two plus months of scheduling frustration and trying to get this completed and damage fixed was not worth it."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.

The design phase varies by project size and complexity; initial ideas can take weeks, while extensive plans may extend to months for complete detailing.

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

Greek Revival architecture was popularized in America in the early- to mid-1800s, around the time when archaeologists were discovering buried ancient Greek buildings. As a means of celebrating the democratic government in ancient Greece, American architects borrowed from those newly discovered buildings as a way to emphasize that America would remain a democratic country in the wake of the American Revolution.
