Drawings for a addition to home

Rocco was an amazing architect to work with. He was very proffesional and courteous in getting drawings done, submitted and quickly approved. We had our permit personaly delivered and ready to begin building within two weeks. When we needed a small revision done, Rocco did not hesitate in adjusting the drawing, re-submitting them and approved by the city. I would highly recommend Rocco to anyone who is looking for a dedicated, trustworthy and knowledgable guy.

Addition and Renovations to House

Small Addition and Renovation
All the good things that they are saying about Rocco are true. For our project we needed architectural design services including advice along with the required building permits. Rocco provided this promptly in a very professional, efficient and friendly manor. Everything he did was very accurate and there were no hitches. We will not hesitate to use Rocco on our next renovation

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I first read about the aforementioned company on this website, my only reaction is that he sounded too good to be true.

When you hire Rocco, you get about 4 well fitting hats in one. A very honourable and ethical gentlemen, a real expert on building permits and regulations who is proactive and sees the job through from start to finish, a man with substantial contracting experience, and a crafstman who has a great sense of aesthetics. And a businessman who is totally responsive and works at the speed of light and anticipates the problems before you do.

Prior to hiring Rocco, we were using an architect with a masters degree from Stanford. The Stanford architects drawings after months of prodding him looked like a Kenners easy bake oven which took months to do. Both his work and his excellent character leave nothing to be desired. You never have to prod him. I wish I had some friends like him. I can only speak well of him.

He makes a complicated process seamless with a lot of grace and charm. I would not hesitate to hire him again. He just loves his work, that comes through loud and clear. Perhaps he is a descendant of Michael Angelo, it would not surprise me. If everyone in business had his fundamental respect for his clients needs, the court system wouldn't be clogged up.

Second Floor Addition

This is the second time I have used Rocco's services. He is very knowledgeable and helped me maneuver through any challenges we had to deal with. Rocco's helped us through comittee of adjustements and also to get our permits very quickly. I was astounded by Rocco's response time as he was tireless through the entire process from the begining stages to helping us with estimations through permit application and even helped us onsite while work was being done when minor changes were decided on last minute.

Would recommend Rocco to anyone that is looking to manage a successful project.

Structural Assessment of our Home

Rocco was quick to respond to my request to provide an assessment of our home. Even while he was away on vacation, he got back to me right away to say he would follow-up the following week.
We had concerns that our house might have a weak support beam.
Rocco charged me a visit fee, but provided a thorough assessment, and spent time to explain everything to me.
Luckily, it turned out to be fine, but he suggested a contractor visit for a second option. He referred a great contractor who visited a few days later, spent time checking it out and as it turns out everything is fine.
I appreciated Rocco's thoroughness, punctuality and honesty! I would recommend him and his company.
