Previous Q & A
Previous Questions and Answers
Q:I'd like to work with you to make some changes. I'd like to mirror the porch on the opposite side, except have it enclosed and serve as the second garage bay. I'd like to turn the shop 90 degrees, running the full length front to back. I'd like to flip the entry onto the opposite side and extend the dormer above the porch the full length of the house. Better to exchange sketches than describe in words. What's the process? [email protected]
A:Thank you for your interest in plan number 41153.
We can certainly help you modify this design to your specifications. You are welcome to reply to this email with your sketches or you can call 800-634-0123 to talk directly with a designer.
To start the modification process we would first put together a quote for customizing the design for you. Once you decide to move forward we will create a preliminary plan which will show you the changes incorporated into the elevations and floor plans. We provide the preliminary plan to you for your review and feedback to insure that everything has been changed as you envisioned. Once you approve the preliminary plan we will move forward to complete the construction drawings.
Please let us know if you have any other questions. We look forward to reviewing your modifications.
Q:Does 41153 have a deck on the left side off the kitchen.
