"?Evolution Drafting has been very difficult to work with. I have been passed from employee to employee, with unreturned calls and missed appointments. I am still waiting on a meeting to review the changes we want, yet I keep getting emails with their own concept of our project instead of a proper Teams or Google meeting. I was even sent an email to schedule a ?revision if needed,? which makes it feel like I am being blamed for not accepting a design we have never discussed in detail. My time is as valuable as theirs, and the lack of clear communication and follow?through has been extremely disappointing.? I understand that things happen in life, but I also know they have a phone, and a simple call, text, or email would prevent me from wasting my time waiting on them. I have already paid, and it appears I will not receive the final product until after Christmas and New Year?s. I am disappointed.? "

"Dear Arora Remodeling Management and Staff, I am writing to extend my sincere thanks for the exemplary service and craftsmanship demonstrated during my recent bathroom renovation. From the initial consultation through the final steps of this project, every interaction reflected your company’s dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. The workmanship and attention to detail were of the highest standard. A new sliding shower door is a real masterpiece! I particularly appreciated the consistent communication and adherence to schedule. The finished bathroom is both beautiful and functional, a true testament to your team’s skill. It was a pleasure to work with professionals who take such pride in their craft. Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for a job well done. Sincerely, Jonah"

Mclean home improvement, LLC started with one man and a truck in mid 90's. Over the past 15 years we have grown to a mid-size, well respected class b general contracting company. We believe in customer satisfaction and that is our top priority. "we are not satisfied unless or until you are satisfied". Mhi does it all for you so you can rely on us for any construction or renovation needs of your home. No job is too small for us. We make sure that we turn your dreams into reality. The personal integrity and open communication philosophy established by owner and founder Lester Garcia ensures that same spirit is carried throughout each project by meeting deadlines, honoring all commitments and consistently meeting and exceeding the expectations of the client. This ensures a strong and confident relationship between contractor and client. We do provide competitive rate and our professional guarantee "to do it right". Additional email - [email protected]. Award winning.

"The laundry room was the last unfinished room in my house. Lester Garcia was the only contractor who came for an estimate that seemed to really care about my project and put in the time to give me an accurate estimate. The other 4 companies seemed to just gloss over what we wanted and give a ballpark estimate. We felt that Lester really listened and gave us an accurate fair quote. The last thing anyone would want would be to be surprised as to the final bill! His workers were hard working and very professional and went out of their way to ensure that we were satisfied. My biggest complaint was that we were never sure if they were going to show up on what day. They would say the "electrician" or another worker would stop by on Tuesday and then wouldn't show up until Wednesday. This happened on several occasions. I would recommend that the company could communicate better with their customers. A phone call in the morning or the night before would go along way to set expectations. However they did quality work and we are very pleased with the room!"

Dulles Kitchen & Bath, we are a full-service design-build and remodeling company, Dulles Kitchen & Bath provides everything you need for your home remodeling or commercial construction project from start to finish. Dulles Kitchen and Bath is a family business operating since 2005. Every remodeling we've ever made is unique, because every client is different. Inspired by your tastes, home and lifestyle. One-Stop Shop for Everything You Need!!! Our designers and construction crews work under one roof as a cohesive design-build team and we assume responsibility for the project from initial design right through construction, including budgeting, ordering products, obtaining permits, and scheduling the entire project. We provide a personalized service, keeping in touch with our clients to make sure that they love the end result.

"In April 2022, we used the services of Dulles Bath and Kitchen to get our master bathroom remolded. We are extremely disappointed in the unprofessional service we received from this company (owner Johan, project manager Adam & service crew leader Carlos). The project was not done in a professional, proper and timely manner. First and foremost, the customer service was non-existent. Not only was the company owner rude and uninterested in the work of his team, that lead to our complaint but the field manager, Adam, had no control over the servicing crew that was doing the bathroom. The following pictures show the unprofessional way this company has performed the servicing of our “dream” bathroom: (too short cut treshold & baseboard, filling the gaps with silicone; unconsistancy & horrible job on grout; chipped tile edges all over, which we were being told after the grout it wouldn’t be noticeable; unleveled tile placements; silicone work on seamless glass shower done very sloppy; etc…) After going back and forth with the field manager, Adam and Johan we have yet to have a walkthrough, to go over any/all imperfections, but since that never happened we decided to withhold the remaining amount until these issues were resolved. Instead the owner gave us a call & told us to keep the rest of the final invoice and that our project was done. Not only did the company perform unprofessionally, but sheer arrogance of the owner to disrespect the contract and close our service ticket shows you how this company does business!"

StudioTek Builders is a family-owned design / build firm with 45 years of experience and an expertise that encompasses the entire process from design, development to realization, making our team well-equipped to handle tailored residential construction projects such as renovations, additions, new construction as well as commercial projects. Our commitment to creativity, meticulous quality execution and efficiency ensures successful project management and client satisfaction.

"The first reason we would highly recommend Green Studio Builders is the reason we selected them in the first place from a pool of candidate contractors: They listened to us. We appreciated that they were willing to work with our vision rather than trying to upend our ideas. GSB is a design build firm, but we found them surprisingly flexible compared with several architect-contractors we interviewed. The second reason we would recommend GSB is that they finished our project on time and on budget, even though the bulk of the construction took place during the course of the pandemic. They hit their targets even though they were forced to work, unexpectedly, with our family in the house and under foot the whole time. This was no small challenge for all of us, but GSB worked with us to limit the impact and finished the project on time despite the unexpected. The third reason we’d recommend GSB is the quality of the work. From framing to finishings, from the cleanliness of the job site to the custom shelves, their work really is top notch. Nicoleta’s recommendations and her attention to detail helped us improve our design. Our new space – a second story addition and new room off the back – looks stunning, even better than we originally envisioned."

Architects questions, answered by experts

An architect plans and designs new construction and alteration projects. They often provide sketches for homes, office buildings, shopping malls, and other structures.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit. 

While classic Palm Springs architecture in the Palm Springs area will naturally cost more due to the high cost of living, prices across the rest of the country will vary. Remember that older homes, including those built before 1970, will cost more to renovate due to updated building codes—something to keep in mind when considering the upfront cost of the house.

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.
