"We had a wonderful experience working with Thomas Custom Builders (TCB) from start to finish on our home addition. We added a master bed and bath, unfinished basement, and screened in porch. First and foremost, we went with TCB for this renovation because we felt like they provided high quality services at a competitive price. We felt very comfortable undertaking a big project like this with TCB because unlike some of the other builders and architects we met, TCB listened to our ideas and concerns and helped us to visualize exactly what we need in a renovation and within our budget. They worked with us patiently through changes in ideas and scale of the project. Then throughout the actual renovation, the TCB staff were amazing. Brian was onsite the entire time, overseeing every aspect of the project, with absolutely no issues. It was great to have the same person there every day and it was very clear that he knew exactly what he was doing and what we wanted/needed. Work was always done within a reasonable time frame and with high quality. The TCB team finished everything within 3 months, which was even faster than we had even anticipated. We would absolutely recommend TCB to our family, friends, and neighbors and use them again."

"I had the pleasure of working with Terry and her team at Bitarchitects to help me get a building permit and certificate of occupancy. This location had no architectural plans so Terry had to start from scratch. They were able to achieve the goal and also help me through the permitting process along the way. Any time a new task was needed they helped complete it timely with great communication. I would highly recommend."

"Great drawings and very professional. I’m putting this project on hold until the fall. It appears there’s other items on the foundation wall that needs to be taken care of before the landscaping company can do their job"

"House plans in Prince William County. Mr. Bill Tucker and his team were great people to work with. They did an excellent work with my my new home plans, they were very professional and completed the project in a short period of time, they were able to revise and revamp a product from another company. The final product was to my entire satisfaction I would gladly recommend them to others looking for an architect. By now, my new home plans have been approved by the county and I am happy to continue with my dream project. Build my own Home."

"Edin was great to work with. He had a vision of what our yard could look like after four years of no maintenance. He was very responsive via text and email. Him and his crew worked over a three day period with great attention to detail. They were not rushing to finish and the results look great. This is the best the yard has looked in many years."

"JP Landscaping wowed me from the minute they started work until the time they finished. I have truly never worked with a better contractor and crew than this group. We hired them to help correct a drainage issue on the side of our back yard that was allowing water flow toward our home during strong storms. Jose met with us and determined a plan to add a wall to hold the water and push toward the drainage system they added so that water would flow to the road and not toward our house. It turned out to be beautiful and functional! He has the hardest working and most professional crew!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

Yes, architects specialize in both new construction and renovation projects, ensuring that additions blend seamlessly with existing structures while meeting safety standards.

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

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.

While Craftsman-style houses are bungalows, cottages typically aren’t, though they can be. But they also differ in other stylistic aspects. For instance, cottages usually have simpler designs and painted woodwork.
