"Working with Ellen Marquardt was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She asked thoughtful questions to truly understand how we wanted to use the space, and her visuals—floorplans and 3D renderings—made decision-making easy and stress-free. Her deep knowledge and clear explanations of the “why” behind each design choice gave us total confidence in the process. Highly recommend!"

"Excellent experience. I submitted a request one afternoon and they were at my house the next morning. Brandon came up with a great design for landscaping around our pool as well as reinstalling the side lawn. The work was done extremely fast and crew was great. Will definitely be calling for our next project."

Customers say: True professional

"Eric and his sons Mark and Matt built a two story extension onto our log and vinyl shake home, and made the addition seamlessly appear as if it was part of the original construction. The end result is beautiful, inside and out, and we get so many compliments on the vaulted ceiling in the new construction - and a vault that they added to part of the original house. They were very pleasant to work with, and even were able to build a temporary interior wall which allowed us to stay in the house during construction. We highly recommend them."

"Jim Pappas is an architect with decades of experience. He developed a beautiful custom house plan for us but we decided to go with a different plan that was more affordable for us. He was professional, quick to respond and took the time to meet with us at the building site. I highly recommend him for your custom home design."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

Fees depend on project size, design complexity, required permits, materials, labor, and whether additional consulting services are included.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.

Hire an architect at the very beginning of your home-building process. An architect’s training and expertise can guide the process from start to finish to ensure you don’t miss or have to redo any important steps. An architect will also provide valuable input on design, materials, and other details right from the beginning.
