Architects

If you’re tackling a major remodeling project, you’ll likely require construction drawings and blue prints to procure permits and include in contracts.

A professionally trained architect who has experience in remodeling is best suited for this work.  If you’re considering knocking out walls to make your kitchen bigger, you need a structural architect to ensure you don’t inadvertently bring down your roof!

Designers

If you can find someone with expertise in the area you’ll be remodeling, such as a kitchen or bath, you should be in good hands.
