Q: What should I consider when hiring an architect?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-an-architect.htm">Finding an architect</a> for your project demands looking at the professional&rsquo;s past work, speaking with prior clients to see what their experience was like, and discussing your project and vision with the expert to see what kind of input they have. Look for an architect that gets excited about your project or has experience with similar projects.</p></div>

Q: What are some examples of arts and crafts architecture?

• <div><p>While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools&mdash;particularly Country Day schools from the era.</p></div>

Q: Can I draw my own house plans?

• <div><p>You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Can the architect of my house help me determine when it was built?

• <div><p>Consulting the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-architect-cost.htm">architect</a> of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down&mdash;especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it&rsquo;s best to rely on local government records. </p></div>

Q: Are home elevators a good choice to improve my home’s accessibility?

• <div><p>A home elevator is a fantastic way to improve your home&rsquo;s accessibility. Elevators allow anyone, even those who use wheelchairs or walkers, to safely move between floors within your home.</p><p>Dumbwaiters may allow you to move items up and down floors, and stair lifts can move people up and down, but elevators are the best option if you need space for people, their belongings, and/or mobility aids such as wheelchairs.</p><p>That said, home elevators cost more than other options, such as stair lifts. Consider your needs <i>and</i> your budget when deciding the best way to make your home more accessible to a person with a disability or a person who is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-aging-in-place.htm">aging in place</a>.</p></div>

Total Texas foundation repair systems include cracked slab repair, plumbing and construction. Working with realtors and commercial property owners. Foundation repairs start with an estimate and come with a lifetime transferable warranty.

"We have been in our current (and first ever) home for just over a year. After tons and tons of heavy rains this spring, hairline cracks and nail pops abounded. I, terrified and generally anxious anyway, assumed the worst: our foundation was in shambles and our house was obviously trying to fall into a sink hole. Fortunately, the previous owners had alerted us to foundation repairs and we were able to get the warranty transferred to us upon purchase of our home. I called foundation who worked with me to schedule an appointment. Carl Adams came out right on time. He explained what he was doing and how his machine worked to measure the level of my foundation. He explained to me the work that had been done previously, helped me identify foundation work that had been done by someone else (oh my gosh) and explained to me where to look with my city to see if a work permit had been filed on my property so I could figure out when those were done. He was not only extremely professional and knowledgeable, but was personal and kind in assuaging my greatest fears. My house is fine. He took the time to really explain things, he made notes of what other information to send me (real signs to look for, how to care for my foundation, etc.) I cannot emphasize how my anxiety I had been experiencing over what (thankfully) amounted to nothing. I sincerely appreciate the time and kindness and feel that he went beyond expectations to take a little extra time to teach me how to be a sane and competent home owner (at least when it comes to foundations!)"

"RWJJR Construction & Consulting Services was a good company to work with. Bob came over and did a very comprehensive consultation, then offered his ideas of various ways the project could be approached, giving a couple of different cost options so I could choose what fit my budget.
