"Work Randy's done has been excellant. The only problem for me, is that he has a very busy schedule and has to fit work on my house in when he has the chance. Based on work done so far I'd highly recommend him. In fact, I have.

"Jake and his team were great. They installed as agreed and did so in a professional manner. The project took a couple of days but they held to their word and did everything well. Very customer focused and will work until you are happy. Highly recommend."

"After having an extremely bad experience with another company that started my driveway and left it 1/3 done, then for 21 days gave me a run around about finishing it. My husband called these Whetzels Paving. They came gave a free estimate and was able to do the job a couple days later. It turned out great. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Really well! They were smart and organized. Made sure the branches did not hit any fences of buildings. Everything was cleaned up without a trace. Also it was fun to watch the person in the tree work---it was a tough job but he was awesome at it. Definitely would hire again."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Architects often oversee project management to ensure design adherence, coordinate with contractors, and address onsite challenges.

Many architects offer 3D modeling and virtual walkthroughs, which allow clients to visualize the project and make informed decisions before construction begins.

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—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

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.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
