Annika P. says, "We had a fantastic experience with Total Renovating and would absolutely use their services again and recommend them to others. Russell and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He did a beautiful full kitchen remodel for us as well as two partial bath remodels, putting in a new window, siding repair and a couple smaller things around the house. He went above and beyond working with us even before the contract was signed to identify materials that we liked so that the estimate would be as accurate as possible, which we really appreciated as it was not something we got from the other contractors we were in talks with. He was also able to finish our kitchen on a much shorter timeline than the other bidders were estimating. Russell and his team were responsive, transparent and reliable throughout the process and we are extremely happy with the finished product!"See more

David B. says, "Ali and the WBuilders team provided exceptional service during the entirety of our basement project. We felt like a priority to Ali beginning with our initial consultation and throughout each phase of construction. Ali was able to provide candid advice about the art of the possible given our budget and he personally answered our calls to discuss many iterations of layout, design, and finishings as we tried to prioritize what was most important to us. We particularly appreciated Ali’s expertise regarding design matters as his insights and advice saved us the time and money of hiring a separate design consultant. We felt like each of the workers that came to our house was not only professionally competent but also respectful of our home and kind to our family. We couldn’t be happier with the final product and we would highly recommend WBuilders to anyone looking to complete a basement project!"See more

Aisha B. says, "I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Michael on a major renovation project for my house, which I purchased in 2022. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Mr. Michael demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, craftsmanship, and dedication to bringing my vision to life. The scope of the project was extensive, including a complete kitchen renovation, installation of hardwood floors throughout the home, painting of the deck, and the addition of both a closet and a full bathroom in the basement. Despite the ambitious timeline, Mr. Michael and his team completed all tasks within 30 days, a testament to their hard work, efficient project management, and meticulous attention to detail. The quality of Mr. Michael's work exceeded my expectations. The kitchen now boasts modern amenities and finishes, transforming it into the heart of the home. The hardwood floors add warmth and elegance to every room, and the newly painted deck has become a vibrant space for outdoor gatherings. The addition of a closet and full bathroom in the basement has not only increased the functionality of the space but also added significant value to my home. What stood out most, apart from the exceptional quality of work, was Mr. Michael's commitment to customer satisfaction. He was always available to answer questions, offer professional advice, and make adjustments to ensure the final results aligned perfectly with my preferences. I am thoroughly impressed with the outcome of this renovation and cannot recommend Mr. Michael highly enough. If you are looking for a contractor who delivers outstanding quality work, completes projects on time, and ensures a smooth and stress-free renovation experience, look no further than Mr. Michael."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How do architects work?

Architects may work for an architecture or engineering firm, they may work for a government organization, they can work for a construction company, or they may be self-employed (freelance). The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics explains that architects spend a large amount of their working time in the home or company office: meeting with clients; creating reports and architectural drawings; and working with other architects and engineers. When not in an office, an architect is often at the construction site either as part of the development of plans or to ensure building progress is following the blueprint.

When a client interacts with an architect, it is typically to have them design drawings for the construction of a house or a building. If you are a client who has hired a large architecture firm, there may be a team of people working on your design. But if you are working with a freelance architect or a smaller firm, one person (or a small group) will take your concept and translate it into an architectural blueprint that a builder can use to construct a house. The plans will lay out everything from the depth of the foundation to the materials to use to the type of metal to be used in the reinforcement. Once the plans have been created and handed off to the builder, the architect may remain on the project — depending on budget — and oversee progress.

How do architects charge for their services?

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the median salary of an architect in 2016 was $76,930. This range included architects with every type of company as well as self-employed architects. Depending on the architect and whether they’re with a firm or independent, they may charge per hour or by the square foot, or they may charge a percentage of the total budget for a construction project. An hourly rate is typically used for smaller projects such as providing consultation, helping clients hone their concept before the design process begins, or drafting documents and plans. If an architect is working on an hourly basis on a larger project, there will usually be an agreed-upon cap on the number of hours they will work. For larger projects, such as new construction or total overhaul remodels, architects may charge a percentage of the total construction costs. The architect will usually set the percentage you will pay after the total cost of construction has been accounted for. Percentages can range within a firm depending on the extent of the services they’re providing. For example, a lower percentage of the total construction costs may include drafting and minimal consultation and guidance along the way, while a higher percentage could include on-site project management services with every detail attended to. Architects may also charge by the square footage of the project. The rate per square foot can vary depending on the individual’s training, the services they are providing, the complexity of the project, and other factors — such as obtaining permits. The national average cost to hire an architect is between $1,690 and $2,500.

What do house plans consist of?

In a house plan, you can expect to see an overview of the construction site, floor plans, roof plans, foundation plans, electrical plans, exterior elevation and more. Always ask your architect what they plan to include in your house plan.

Do general contractors offer remote or virtual services?

General contractors perform manual work and typically need to be present to complete their projects. However, if you come across a profile that states the contractor is offering remote services, ask what those services include. You can also ask if they can perform a consultation via video call and if they can do the job while following guidelines from the CDC and local agencies.
