"Jose and his wife, Sandra, (J&S) were very kind and easy to work with! They were accurate on their material list (very little waste) and fair in their prices! They brought several workers with them the first today of the drywall install and they worked steadily until all was hung that day. (A full garage ceiling and walls and upstairs garage apartment drywall for certain requested ceiling areas.). After that Jose spent several days with a helper getting all the taping, mudding and sanding done; then finished with priming upstairs as requested and priming and painting downstairs.

"I regret hiring A+ Pool Designs to remove my old pool and install a new one. My previous pool lasted 33 years and collapsed after water leaked from the drain last winter. The project manager assured me that my new pool would not leak. The day after my new pool was filled, I noticed the water level dropped two inches. I called the project manager who was in the UK for six more days, he informed me his partner was unavailable and the A+ Pool Design staff had no technical knowledge and could not help. When the project manager returned to NJ, my pool had leaked over 10,000 gallons of water. He said the leak was not from the drain as I thought because it passed his pressure tests. He focused on the seal around the pool’s steps which did not make sense, but he was the specialist. I reluctantly refilled my pool after he fixed a gap that didn’t exist, and it leaked again at the same rate. Despite all logic the project manager continued to deny the leak was in the drain, so I called Lester the salesman who convinced me to trust A+ Pool Designs with my project. I left a message describing the situation and asked him to call me back. He never called back but two days later I saw the project manager at my pool filling it with water. He acknowledged that the drain was the source of the leak and blamed it on the masons he hired and should have supervised. He had poured bottles of a leak stop liquid that he claimed was better than the products sold in pool and spa stores. He refused to address my concern that it was a quick, temporary fix and would not provide the name of the product, manufacturer nor any documentation. He told me the pool isn't leaking the job is done. I told him I have no choice but to share my experience in this negative review. I didn’t use the project manager’s name because the A+ Pool Designs’ management are equally responsible for building me a new pool that leaked thousands of gallons of water and may leak before I open it this Spring."

Architectural services FAQs
While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following:
Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known
Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design
Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features
Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design
Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project
Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly
Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include:
How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?
How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?
Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?
What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact?
Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?
Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew.
If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
