"It was great working with Refine Design Architecture for our cabin expansion. They listened to our requirements, offered feedback and produced designs that fulfilled our vision of an expanded cabin. We were not pressured into something larger or smaller than our vision. They initially produced "primary" and "alternate" designs until I realized one design would be much easier to build and maintain. Even our kids(8 and 10) input was considered and the new cabin will have a "kid room.""
"North West Builders and Renovation helped turned my Kitchen into the dream kitchen I have always wanted. They were quick to answer, listened and helped me with everything. They did the clearing out of the old cupboards and flooring and used my idea to give our family a masterpiece. I recommend them for any renovations, they did an excellent job."
"Eli is a very knowledgeable structural engineer who is also very customer oriented. He will be there at the site when you need him. I have dealt with a few structural engineers, but I ONLY used Eli services, as I could not quite rely on the other folks as well as I can on Eli. He explains the solution very well and does his best to coordinate his work with other contractors very well. Thank you Eli for your superb support."
The most idyllic building material that encapsulates the feel of Federal architecture is a brick facade, often with bricks alternating between long side and short side. Palladium and arched transom windows are also prevalent, as are flat, white window lintels. More ornate Federal architecture buildings also include columns on either side of the front door. More important than most of the finer details, though, is the symmetry from the exterior. On the interior, ornate plaster moldings and plaster ceiling medallions are indicative of the style.

It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues.
