My wife and I want to bring our home out of the 70’s and into (at least) this decade. It’s a big renovation. Essentially taking my flat roof off and installing a sloped flat roof. My roof has a parapet around it that can and does fill with leaves. I climb up there to rake three times annually. It is perfectly flat with a few (minor) ponding issues. Mitigated with a welded seam roofing material.

A new modern garage door, windows and changing up done exterior wall materials would be awesome, and complete the look. I would take advantage and do some stuff to the interior as well.

I’m not an architect or do I have any creativity. I’d build a shoebox with doors.

Is a design-build firm what want to go with? How do you go about finding one? If there wasn’t a pandemic I would stop at a few renovations and ring a few doorbells for references. The wildfires did bring a lot of builders to our area.
