"Eric and his team did a great job with all of the landscaping projects at my house. Starting with the patio, the job was well explained and well executed. It was a fair price in comparison to the other quotes I had. They designed a landscape plan that all of the neighbors have complemented. They take pride in a job well done and making your house more beautiful."

"It was a complicated project that he did, we removed a wall and expanded our kitchen and it involved taking out everything. It was a massive redesign but you wouldn't get that when you look at the finish project. It was a technical challenge in the redesign but he made it look simple. And the result is so good that several people who have come to our house are taking pictures for consideration in redesign of their own place. I love to cook and this kitchen is the most efficient and effective kitchen I have ever cooked in."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

Architects can cater to both residential and commercial projects, tailoring their approach according to the specific sector regulatory requirements.

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

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.

A home elevator is a fantastic way to improve your home’s accessibility. Elevators allow anyone, even those who use wheelchairs or walkers, to safely move between floors within your home.

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.

That said, home elevators cost more than other options, such as stair lifts. Consider your needs and your budget when deciding the best way to make your home more accessible to a person with a disability or a person who is aging in place.
