William B. Tucker . We look forward to working with you.
"In the spring of 2024, I started on a project to add a porch to the front of my house. Tucker gave good advice on surveying the lot before working on the design. Looking at my house and the other houses on the street, he should have realized that a $50,000 porch would not make economic sense. I wish he would have talked me in another direction. Some of the features I requested were not on the initial drawing, nor was there a description of the materials. I assumed he did not take good notes at our initial meeting. They are poor estimators of their timer requirements. Quality of drawings was good. I wish Tucker would have talked me out of a porch addition at our initial meeting. I would have been happy to pay him for the time he spent. My full review is on my blog at { removed link} "

"I found the Wheeler Brothers on Angie's List and called to discuss the work that I needed done. They were very responsive to my phone calls and e-mails, and we agreed on an estimate and date for the work to be completed. They arrived on time and completed all of the work in one day. While working, they suggested some repairs to the gutters that would help to prevent future damage. I agreed to the additional work and the additional charge for materials and labor.

"DO NOT use them for gutters! They simply charge you more and contract out the job but they do not inspect or guarantee the work. Went with Smallwood because of their reviews - thought I was going with a reputable company but it entire process has been frustrating .. time consuming and extremely disappointing . ( not to mention costly) In August we contacted Smallwood for gutter replacement. We decided to get new gutters, down spouts ( 19 feet front 19 feet back) and guards( back of townhome only as suggested by sales person ) for our town home and I paid for new fascia upfront to avoid the additional “surprise” charges that often come with gutter installation - very simple straightforward job with a price tag of $2300 - that is $57 dollars per square feet This is an exceptionally high rate even for fascia, gutters and 19 feet of leaf guard but even though the estimate was higher than the others we received - we wanted to make sure the job was done correctly due to past experiences and we went with Smallwood because the salesperson assured us we would get quality.. stress free work from a reputable family owned business. The estimate was relatively quick and easy - but It took multiple phone calls ( from me not them ) to schedule the work and over a month to complete the job.. and it was done by two different groups of workers. The taking down of old gutters ( this crew left over 30 nails in and around my home- which I had to remove because we have pets that can’t wait to go outside) and 2 different stages of repair means we had no gutters while waiting for the actual installation!! Once they finally completed the job - they reached out immediately for final payment ( the most efficient part of this job ) We noticed quickly that the front gutters leaked - ( not just dripping but pouring down the front of our house ) I contacted Smallwood and they assured us they would send someone out to check the problem. They also asked us to send pics and video ( which I did) .. I did not hear back so I contacted Smallwood again. They said they sent someone ? And he did not see a problem. I reminded them about the video.. 3 weeks later no response.. reached out yet again and this time was told that it the roof was installed without proper over hang so I would need a drip guard or leaf guard to move the water in to the gutter. for 19feet?? I asked if this issue was so obvious why didn’t they repair during the installation? No reason given but they did offer to fix the issue for $700 (due to their minimal charge policy) then promptly send a lower estimate of $400 ( so I would believe they were doing me a favor!!!!) It is Feb now and I still don’t have a resolution - I’m going to call another company for repair.. not giving Smallwood another penny of my money Red flags: * they do not give you an itemized estimate - so for example if your NEW gutters leak they can say the problem wasn’t included Even the receipt is not itemized! Beware! * contracting the work out ( just go with the less expensive company ) * the sales pitch about family owned and operated doesn’t help if they don’t have decent values or practice good customer service!"

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.
