"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

"We hired Mangone Contracting to build a sunroom and deck on the back of our house. Working with Eric and his team was a real pleasure. We could not have asked for a more gracious and talented crew. Eric's team handled EVERYTHING... designs, permits, construction, finishing, and several final adjustments. We are delighted with the outcome. Even the building and electrical inspectors commented on the excellent quality of their work. I highly recommend Mangone Construction - without reservation. They will be my contractor of choice for all future projects."

"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 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.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.

An architect plans and designs new construction and alteration projects. They often provide sketches for homes, office buildings, shopping malls, and other structures.
