Concerned your feet will be cold on that newly designed master bath or kitchen tile floor? Then heat it up with an easily installed tile floor heating system. The Warm Tiles system is easy to install and offers a programmable thermostat. Ideal for tile on a concrete slab, sub-floor over crawl-space, or sub-floor over heated space. Of course installation needs to occur prior to installing your tile floor. This is not a retroactive installation process. Plan ahead and count on warm feet in your tiled floor spaces.

When choosing an architect consider the following: Interview them to find out where their talents lie. What type of architecture do they specialize in? Do they focus mainly on residential, or are they more focused on commercial? What level of detail will they deliver in their drawings? Is the price per square foot or hourly? How many revisions are included? Will the architect visit your site to determine the best fit? Will the construction documents come engineer certified? Is the site plan included as part of the construction documents? These are all valuable questions you want to ask your architect. Understand the expectation you need to set for yourself when you begin the architectural design process. Services can add up and it is important to establish your expectations from the beginning. Investing in a good set of construction documents is the first step in building a quality custom home. Cut yourself short here, and you will cut yourself short overall.
