High end architect specializing in making a house feel like home!\nI make people’s dream homes a reality. There is nothing more satisfying to me then improving the quality of life for my clients and giving them a house that they are able to make into their homes.\nI have been a licensed architect since 2015 and am currently registered in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Maine and Massachusetts. With my NCARB certificate I am able, if necessary, to obtain reciprocal licensure throughout the country in a short time period. \n\nI am inspired by our local built environment, humble materials, classical building forms and traditional building details. I have a strong interest in the reinterpretation of classical building forms, blended with contemporary open floor plans. \nI have a stronger interest in helping to guide my clients to ways of improving the quality of their lives through adapting the built environment to meet their needs.

Hi, I’m EDUIN,\n\nI am an experienced handyman with a professional background in architecture and property maintenance. This unique combination allows me to look at your home not just as a set of repairs, but as a complete structural system. I bring a high level of technical precision to every task.\n\nMy Experience:\n\nI have spent years working across both the design and physical upkeep sectors. My transition from architecture to hands-on maintenance means I understand the "why" behind how your home was built, which helps me solve problems more effectively than a standard quick-fix approach. From structural integrity to aesthetic finishes.\n\nWhere I Work\n\nI am based in Cape Cod, MA, and I proudly serve the local community. I am also available to travel to surrounding areas within a 30-mile radius for larger projects or scheduled maintenance.\n\nSpecial Skills & Expertise;\n\nArchitectural Insight: Ability to read blueprints and understand the structural needs of older and modern homes.

"I purchased  this angies list coupon and additional bunch of hours at full price to get to a logical closure. The architectural space layout for my kitchen, new  bathroom, patio layout - all these within existing structure of an old house was discussed . I wanted to get professional  ideas on how best to make use of the space for my remodeling project. Both the architects were nice to interact, were professional.

"I am an architectural designer that works mostly with residential clients on renovations and additions. I am ALWAYS being asked for referrals for General Contractors and having a few reliable, trustworthy & qualified companies that I can feel good about recommending is crucial. While craftsmanship is usually first and foremost in hiring a builder, there are always complications on projects, and sometimes it’s how a GC handles these complications that is the true testament to their value as a team member. McKinley & Barron check all these boxes for me and I always feel safe recommending them! They are also great guys that clients enjoy working with!"

"Vista started in what seemed like a very organized matter, but communication started failing throughout the project. Our sales person was let go early on and our initial bid was far too unclear, so we had to rework expectations and ESPECIALLY unrealistic time frames with our construction manager. He also left the project before the end of the work. Overall the work quality was OK, but communications and timeliness were a real issue throughout. I found the guys that were onsite to be friendly and accommodating, but the process - which seemed so organized - got very chaotic at the end and we were just glad for it to be over. There were weeks when we'd hope to get answers on dates and it was hard to get them, and multiple times we were told the day of an expected service visit, that they'd be delayed a week. These guys are certainly NOT crooks and can do decent work, but seems like they need to revisit their structure and how much they take on. I suspect these guys are best at the sun-rooms they promote more than other home work."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
