"Vic Johnson and his crew were great from the start to finish of our kitchen remodel: quality work, great communication, helpful in problem solving. All subcontractors and vendors provided quality work and products. Cost was fair and competitive. Will definitely call on them for future projects."
"Ryan was absolutely fantastic. I was nervous about bumping up my project to the next level and hiring him as an architect but he made everything easy and understandable. I felt like he was a true member of my team."
"work was flawless, 4.5 hours, but the buyer will not recognize the repairs, I was very impressed, very detailed about the work. Another gentleman was sent to re-insulated and belly bonded and worked on the crawlspace, next day came back to take pictures and bought materials for the left side of the house, rebuild it with wood beams and concrete post. 3rd day, bought new screen cover for the air vents around the house, about 8 to 10 of them. I was very pleased with their work."
"The old deck was damaged and needed urgent repair. The North West Builders and Renovation team visited and after a consultation we came up with an idea for a new deck. Job well done, we love the new deck."
"Ilya and team were great! Communication was timely and constant. Ilya is a hard hard worker and made our master bathroom amazing. He took out our tub and single shower and installed 2 shower head bathroom with heated flooring, floating vanity, and another light above the shower. He is respectful of our home and a dog person for sure! He left everything nice and neat and went through thoroughly to ensure he did not leave any dust or debris past his working hours. Would recommend to friends and family! Easy, much cheaper than our other quotes and he did it all within our agreed upon timeline! Please use GASHIN and support local!"
"This was our second major remodel project. Accordingly, we had a better idea of what to expect in terms of the overall remodeling process. Pete Lange, owner, was excellent to deal with - he is very fair minded and endeavors to create happy clients. Pete provided overall project oversight, materials ordering, and communication. Sean was assigned by Pete as his overall project manager and did good work during both demolition and various rebuild activities. In addition, we appreciated Sean's attention to daily cleanliness in keeping our home as clean as possible during the work project. Pete also scheduled his subcontractors in a well coordinated manner. Particularly good work was performed by his drywall & painting subcontractor, as well as his tile floor/shower tile subcontractor. All in all, strong execution by Excel General Contracting. We are now also having Pete quote on an additional project for us given this performance."
"Sean and the crew at iconiq construction did an amazing job on our new deck build. Would def recommend him to anyone looking for a good and honest contractor."
Most Greek Revival architecture homes are one and a half to two stories, depending on the footprint, which sets them apart from some Federal architecture homes that are three stories. The gabled roof on the second floor can sometimes cut into the living space, especially on smaller homes of this style, which leaves a much smaller living area upstairs.
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.
Regular meetings, reviewing drafts, and providing input on materials help align the project with your vision.
Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.
