In 1964 Frank Seydel began working in the construction field. He quickly realized this was not just a job, but a passion for creating, working with his hands, and being a problem solver. In 1975 it was time for Frank to begin a construction business of his own. Frank’s passion was passed onto his son, Glenn, who in 1988 joined his father for the adventure of a lifetime. Since then the business has grown from the father and son partnership into a company with multiple partners who now employ more than 20 hard working, conscientious, and caring employees. Each employee is an integral part of Seydel Group, from the estimators and designers to the electricians and carpenters. Seydel Group and its employees take pride in the quality of work provided, the attention to detail given to each project, and the communication system we bring to our clients. We bring high quality craftsmanship, expertise in the renovation industry, and forward thinking ideas to each and every project. Seydel Group understands that the projects are not just about putting up walls or tile — it is about taking the dreams of the client and turning them into reality.

"The work was completed on time by courteous and professional workers."

Architects questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, floor joists are essential structural components. They support the weight of floors and everything on them, transferring loads to the foundation and walls. Properly installed joists are necessary for maintaining strength, stability, and structural integrity.

A structural inspection report will include a detailed description of the structural engineer’s findings, applicable photographs, and recommendations to correct the issue. The contents of the report may depend on the scope of the inspection but might also include a time and cost estimate for recommended work to correct any structural problems found during the inspection. 

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.
