"Devaughn did great with our custom home design. He was very informative and professional when it came down to any questions we had or changes we needed done. He did our plans in a very fast manner and exactly how we visioned it. I would recommend him to everybody that needs new project."

"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."

"Working with Meghan with Oak & Ivy was such a pleasant experience! We completely gutted our kitchen and added living space downstairs. She mapped out every square foot of the design. We now have so much more storage and space! We couldnâ t be more pleased with the end results!! She was brilliant in the plans she provided. Meghan also added really unique and creative ideas for the finishes. She has an amazing eye for interior designâ ¦ and picked up quickly on my personal style. Sheâ s so friendly, responsive, budget conscience, and delivers on time!! Best decision to hire her and would for sure use her again!"

"I should have used Charles Todd Helton. A friend recommended me to another architect. I used the other. Big mistake on my part. I had a bad experience using the other one. I found Charles to be more professional, honest, more tuned in to what I wanted for a home design."

Architects questions, answered by experts

In the United States, architects must be licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia before being allowed to practice or seek business. Licensing requirements vary state-to-state, but overall the architect must be educated, attain a certain level of experience, submit to and pass an examination, and register as an architect. Find out if your architect is licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing search tool

Palm Springs homes and similar mid-century modern architecture took off in Northern California, Seattle, and the Midwest. You'll also find many homes that emulate the style in northeastern states, such as throughout Pennsylvania and New York State. That being said, you'll have the best luck finding this style in its original home: Palm Springs and the surrounding area.

The most common scale for residential blueprints is 1/4 of an inch equals one foot. This scale is the most popular because it’s easier for everyone involved, from professionals to homeowners, to understand the building’s actual dimensions. Also, it allows blueprints to have the necessary details without cluttering the page.

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.
