You may need an architect if you modify the facades (like windows positions or numbers), the interior layout (like touching load bearing walls) or foundations2.

I'm just not sure what to install and/change about layout or design features (like spindles on a railing, or the front facade of the house, etc.) to make them look more updated.  

It will broaden the first story of the house making it seem larger and it will break up the tall facade. 

In determining whether the company is the alter ego of the individual, Ohio courts consider the following factors:(1) grossly inadequate capitalization, (2) failure to observe corporate formalities, (3) insolvency of the debtor corporation at the time the debt is incurred, (4) shareholders holding themselves out as personally liable for certain corporate obligations, (5) diversion of funds or other property of the company property for personal use, (6) absence of corporate records, and (7) the fact that the corporation was a mere facade for the operations of the dominant shareholder(s).The Ohio Supreme Court has recently revisited the Belvedere test in Dombroski v.

No use in looking at a $2M facade makeover if the project only supports $1.5M.Understand there are product shortages right now...if you cannot get the Moen Commercial faucets the Architect speced at $X installed can you get Koheler faucets at $X (x) 3 installed.

Rehabbing the facade is a really good idea!

I would probably verify with local zoning authorities as far as any structural changes needed to the façade of the exterior to allow for a separate entrance but that is likely not an issue in most cases. 

- Replaced the front facade- Added a half bath downstairs (not typical for a bath on first floor of PHL homes)- Complete renovation of kitchen- Brand new HVAC throughout house- Semi-finished basement with sealed floors and painted floor joists- Added closets to second and third bedroom

Saving the facade is pretty easy, and you will want to save all wood staircases/ bookcases/ mantles as they are worth lots of money. 

Roof replacement, new 2 story brick front facade, electrical issues.
