"Wally was able to take our general ideas for a sun room & turn them into a quality work of art.  His architectural knowledge & experience was extensive & his recommendations on hardware, materials of construction, best practices, etc. was impressive.  We went through several revisions as our ideas evolved & Wally was always patient, available & very professional.  His graphic systems allowed us to make revisions as we discussed the designs & see the results instantly in 3D views.  The level of detail was such that we felt we were standing in the new room.  Our Homeowner's Association indicated that it was among the best packages it had seen & approval was very quick.  We would highly recommend Wally."

"Hestia was a first class company to work with, from Jesse, Brian, Hannah, and Reynaldo, to the individuals performing the work. The entire team was focused on meeting/exceeding our expectations. Very satisfied with the end result which finished ahead of schedule and at the agreed cost. Our work consisted of a kitchen and 2-bath (only cabinets in master) remodel, with additional work inclusive of: repair of a recurring roof/ceiling leak in the living area, full replacement of stairway balusters, addition of trim and molding to the living room, a new built-in bookshelf, and painting of the living areas and ceilings. The duration was estimated at 5 weeks and work was completed in 4 weeks. Throughout the effort, the Hestia team endeavored to carry out the work in a sequence to minimize household disruption. The workers were pleasant, courteous, and very hard working. We tried to minimize any scope creep but inevitably made several requests that increased the overall scope. The Hestia team just adjusted and accommodated with a reasonable cost and can-do spirit. The site team also made a few 'extra' enhancements (baseboard trim and painting of small areas) without a formal scope change. For those that have not experienced a major remodel, it is not for the faint of heart. With the kitchen and one bath out of commission for a couple of weeks, the master bedroom and bath became our headquarters and dining facility. However, Hestia did its best to get the other facilities back to 'serviceable' as quickly as possible. For our part, we did our best to have our materials selected and available to minimize disruptions. Hannah and Brian offered excellent guidance in the selection of countertops, colors, etc. We are especially pleased with the wood work overall and, after having witnessed the craftsmanship and care, have an even greater appreciation for those that performed the work At the end of the day, we are extremely pleased with the end result and have received compliments from numerous visitors. I highly recommend Hestia to anyone looking to remodel or upgrade a home and even plan to use them for further home upgrades early next year."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The most idyllic building material that encapsulates the feel of Federal architecture is a brick facade, often with bricks alternating between long side and short side. Palladium and arched transom windows are also prevalent, as are flat, white window lintels. More ornate Federal architecture buildings also include columns on either side of the front door. More important than most of the finer details, though, is the symmetry from the exterior. On the interior, ornate plaster moldings and plaster ceiling medallions are indicative of the style.

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.

While towers and turrets are frequently present in Queen Anne-style houses, these design elements are not necessary for a home to be considered a Queen Anne. Turrets and towers add visual interest and unique interior spaces, but many Queen Anne homes do not contain these features. 

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.
