"DO NOT use them for gutters! They simply charge you more and contract out the job but they do not inspect or guarantee the work. Went with Smallwood because of their reviews - thought I was going with a reputable company but it entire process has been frustrating .. time consuming and extremely disappointing . ( not to mention costly) In August we contacted Smallwood for gutter replacement. We decided to get new gutters, down spouts ( 19 feet front 19 feet back) and guards( back of townhome only as suggested by sales person ) for our town home and I paid for new fascia upfront to avoid the additional “surprise” charges that often come with gutter installation - very simple straightforward job with a price tag of $2300 - that is $57 dollars per square feet This is an exceptionally high rate even for fascia, gutters and 19 feet of leaf guard but even though the estimate was higher than the others we received - we wanted to make sure the job was done correctly due to past experiences and we went with Smallwood because the salesperson assured us we would get quality.. stress free work from a reputable family owned business. The estimate was relatively quick and easy - but It took multiple phone calls ( from me not them ) to schedule the work and over a month to complete the job.. and it was done by two different groups of workers. The taking down of old gutters ( this crew left over 30 nails in and around my home- which I had to remove because we have pets that can’t wait to go outside) and 2 different stages of repair means we had no gutters while waiting for the actual installation!! Once they finally completed the job - they reached out immediately for final payment ( the most efficient part of this job ) We noticed quickly that the front gutters leaked - ( not just dripping but pouring down the front of our house ) I contacted Smallwood and they assured us they would send someone out to check the problem. They also asked us to send pics and video ( which I did) .. I did not hear back so I contacted Smallwood again. They said they sent someone ? And he did not see a problem. I reminded them about the video.. 3 weeks later no response.. reached out yet again and this time was told that it the roof was installed without proper over hang so I would need a drip guard or leaf guard to move the water in to the gutter. for 19feet?? I asked if this issue was so obvious why didn’t they repair during the installation? No reason given but they did offer to fix the issue for $700 (due to their minimal charge policy) then promptly send a lower estimate of $400 ( so I would believe they were doing me a favor!!!!) It is Feb now and I still don’t have a resolution - I’m going to call another company for repair.. not giving Smallwood another penny of my money Red flags: * they do not give you an itemized estimate - so for example if your NEW gutters leak they can say the problem wasn’t included Even the receipt is not itemized! Beware! * contracting the work out ( just go with the less expensive company ) * the sales pitch about family owned and operated doesn’t help if they don’t have decent values or practice good customer service!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

An architect ensures compliance with building codes, maximizes space efficiency, enhances functionality, and integrates energy-efficient solutions. Their expertise can also improve workflow and customer experience.

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.

Blueprints for standard home construction will usually range from $1,500 to $2,500 and average around $1,800. Your pricing will likely be higher if you’re building a custom home, as you’ll need to pay a structural engineer to weigh in on building safety. The size of your project, the number of rooms, and the type of drawings you need can also play a role in your total cost.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.

As with most large-scale home renovation projects, you’ll need an architect to map out the exact layout and specs of your above-garage room, which is required in many municipalities. Some general contractors will serve as your architect, or they may bring on a residential architect to assist with the plans.
