"In trying to refinance my house, the mortgage company wanted a structural inspection. I hadn't obtained a structural engineer for years and I had no idea what we included or what the cost of an inspection should be. As I didn't THINK there were any structural issues with my property, I really didn't know for sure. AND, what would they be looking for? I spent a couple of hours at least trying to figure out what to expect and what I needed to do to prepare for a dreaded inspection. My brother tried to reassure me that I probably didn't have any issues to worry about - and he should know. He's been a remodeling contractor for the past 25 years! However, I was worried because of the small cracks that had appeared at the tops of several of my windows and above at least one door frame. Two days before FIF was to arrive two very small cracks showed up running perpendicular to the beam and wall. I had already fixed all the cracks in the house (almost assuredly from settling). But these TWO I couldn't just ignore (as my brother had suggested). So, I fixed them and pained the entire two walls upon which they appeared. I must say, I did a good job, too! Anshul from FIF showed up on time. He was very polite and even offered to take off his shoes! I assured him that he needn't take his shoes off. He was very professional and got right to work on the inspection. In a short time (less than an hour), he'd essentially completed his inspection. He invited me outside so that I could see what he was going to suggest for improvements but that didn't rise to the level that needed to be cited on the official report. His suggestions included adding cement diverters/extensions to gutter downspouts and sloping the dirt/lawn away from the house more. That was it! My house did not have any structural issues! I got the report the following day and I was able to close on time! I would not hesitate a moment in hiring FIF again! I also recommend it to anyone who needs a competent engineering inspection at a reasonable cost."

"These guys arrived on time and got to work immediately. We were very satisfied with everything. The foreman - Juan - was very professional and accommodating. They cleaned everything up and hauled away the old shrubbery. We will definitely use them again!"

"LCS provided windstorm engineered drawings for an outdoor kitchen that I'm building. Myra and Leonardo did a great job communicating with me during the process. They got the job knocked out within the scheduled time frame and didn't hold my project up. I highly recommend LCS to anyone who wants great customer service and quality work."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Some architects include interior design in their portfolio of offerings, while some architectural firms employ interior designers to handle that aspect of home building projects or refer clients to interior designers they’ve worked with in the past. Ask a local architect whether they offer interior design services as well.

You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.

Drawing your own floor plans is acceptable for many kinds of projects, including interior design and room layout. You can use floor plan software to create the plans but keep in mind that the floor plan will only be as accurate as the measurements you take and enter into the software.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Greek Revival and Federal architecture are quite similar in that they focus on symmetry and a blend of utilitarianism and opulence, but they differ in a few key areas. First, Federal architecture tends to include a brick facade, whereas Greek Revival homes more often have stucco siding, much like you’d find in Mediterranean houses. Greek Revival homes also tend to be a bit more ornate, with columns as decor, and more decorative and formal porticos.
