"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."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Mid-century modern architecture was a popular home style throughout the U.S. from the 1950s to 1970s. Most homes feature a wide and symmetrical floor plan with low-sloped roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows. Its minimalism and balanced appearance are back on the home style scene, particularly when maximizing sunlight, airflow, and a blend with the home's natural surroundings.

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.

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.

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.

Most Greek Revival architecture homes are one and a half to two stories, depending on the footprint, which sets them apart from some Federal architecture homes that are three stories. The gabled roof on the second floor can sometimes cut into the living space, especially on smaller homes of this style, which leaves a much smaller living area upstairs.
