"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!"

His plans made good sense, and he gave us space to think about it, talk about it and come back with thoughts that he would incorporate when we could.

"Awhile back I decided it was time to replace my old, crumbling shed. After doing a search on Angie’s List, I hired Gryphon Construction because they had good reviews. The process worked, and I must say that I’m super happy with the results I got. Not only were Akeem and company great to work with, they did an excellent job, and and I’m extremely happy with my new shed. (The only reason I’m not calling it “shop” is because I didn’t have power installed). It’s solid, has a locking door, as well as a window, and looks more like a tiny house than the shed that proceeded it. And while they were here, I also had them install a new track for a broken pocket door, which involved removing some dry wall to get at the work-out track. They did a great job on that, too, and I’m very happy with the remodel. I found them to be pleasant to do business with, as well as very conscientious, timely, and they have a strong sense of craftsmanship, which, after all, is what we all want in a good contractor. I highly recommend them!"

"We entered a contract with Michael Lewallen for a major addition. We chose him because his bid was the lowest. Michael Lewallen, after collecting 95% of our money, with only 60% of the project completed, said he underbid the project and basically, at the point we were on our own. He breached our contract. We paid out of pocket six figures, if we hadnâ t our project would have sat, open to the elements. It is money we did not have. It canâ t be blamed on Covid because had it been completed in the contractual 8 months, it would have been done before the pandemic. Also, some of the sub contractors told us they either had a terrible time getting paid, or they didnâ t get paid at all. In order to complete our project, we had to pay the sub contractors out of our pocket, after we had already paid Michael Lewallen for the very same services. We also paid in full any change orders to Lewallen. Much of those monies were kept by Lewallen and then we had to pay again directly to the sub contractor. We talked with two others of his customers, one project sits and the other elderly couple have paid 90% as well and their project is approximately 30% completed. Michael Lewallen underbids, slow walks the projects while billing aggressively each month, and you pay because if you don't, you are afraid he will stop totally. Once he has your money, he shuts down his services. Our project was contractually promised to be completed in eight months. After 15 months, and us begging to get a roof, a garage door, drywall, painting (everything we had already paid for), he pulled the rug out on us. I have had to hire an attorney. Michael is a master salesman. His website is awesome. But it is used to draw in customers, and once you sign a contract, the nightmare begins. If you are even thinking about doing business with him, talk to someone who has signed with him for a project at least six months ago. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MICHAEL LEWALLEN."

Matthew responded to my request very quickly. He asked questions about the situation that showed he had the expertise we needed. He came to the house within a day of agreeing to perform the work and completed the most urgent task that day.

Architects questions, answered by experts

The various types of architects can be broken down into eight distinct categories, but there can be specific specialties within each of them. Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.

Designs typically take 2-6 months, depending on factoring, project size, and customization needs. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time for approval and revisions.

Mediterranean architecture comes from traditional building styles of countries on the Mediterranean Sea mixed with French, Greek, and Moroccan influences. There are three main types of Mediterranean architecture: Italian Renaissance, Spanish Revival, and modern.

Some signature components of Mediterranean architecture include red terra cotta roofs, archways, stucco siding, and metal detailing on windows. These homes often have balconies and outdoor living areas.

Costs vary depending on project complexity and scope. Architects generally charge a percentage of the total budget or an hourly rate for their services.

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.
