"John Martin and his team have done great work for us. They have done several projects for us ( Shadow Box fence for our backyard, Extension wall for our staircase, capped the under side of our front porch/deck, and a few other things. John always answers his calls or returns messages asap and their work is top notch. I would recommend them to anyone looking for General/Full Home Building to give them a call."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
"I feel extremely fortunate to have found Vicki through Angie's List ! She is an extremely talented person who is very easy to deal with. She has a breath of knowledge that allows her to accommodate my tastes, but also ensure that the overall design is in sync with the design and location of my home. She has a very diplomatic way of suggesting when I'm going astray with my choices and in every case where she has told me "Trust Me" I have been delighted ! She is very aggressive in helping me find the best pricing and often times will work with the vendors directly hence saving me the time. She also has excellent local contacts. Everyone I've worked with through Vicki has been timely, professional, and highly competent. My project is far from complete. I intend to continue to use Vicki and her expert advice until the end !!!!"

"Carriann was able to design our new home project to our specifications while interjecting what she recommended. She went above and beyond and spent a great deal of time working with my husband and my differences to ensure that we have the best ultimate design that fits our needs. She exceeded our expectations of design work and amazed us with her creative and thoughtful designs. She has a great understanding of the structural design and we could tell the difference between another architect and her designs. Carriann also recommended features to save money and solve problems. She is reasonably priced compared to other architects and designers that we researched and gave extraordinary service when communicating and sharing ideas with us. We are excited to see how this home design turns out and we will definitely hire her to complete another project. Carla."
"It turned out okay I guess, I was surprised that they were here for only 45 minutes. I did not get much for what I paid. They were more interested in examining my roof and told me that I needed to get a new one. Then they took the measurements and have not called me back with an estimate on what it would cost to get a new one. I am really disappointed in what they did for me. They were clean and were not rude. They were not demanding or anything like that. They were courteous and did a good job. They said that I did not have any leaks, which was comforting. They did examine the roof and told me that I needed a new one, so I was pleased with that. It took about three weeks to get them out here. I finally called them. I have not heard from them since they came out. I would like to see their bid on the new roof. They were not a lot of pressure. They did not call me; I had to call them. They were on time. The guys knew what they were doing. I could have gotten a roof cleaner for half the price. I would not use them again."
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.
Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.
If your project is complex, it may make sense to hire an architect to draw plans. An architect might also be a good person to hire if you want to ensure your plans adhere to building codes and regulations.
Yes, professionals can offer design advice and material selections that complement existing architecture.
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.
