Rocco provided us with drawings and a permit for removal of a load bearing wall extremely quickly - the turn around was much better than what others in the field offer. He arranged for the permit to be submitted and delivered on time even though he was going out of town the next day on vacation. In addition, Rocco was accessible and came out to the property several times without charge.

Rocco designed the job, got us all the permits, and provided us with great contractors to do the work. Without any hesitation would, and will, we recommend Rocco to anyone in need of an architect.

I have called Rocco in need of permit drawings for a basement underpinning and basement finishing. He came and took site measurments and have delivered as promised! All permits were delivered in a week and revisions according site conditions were sent on the same day! I was very happy with his service and will use him again. Thanks Rocco

Rocco was terrific! I highly recommend Rocco if you are looking for an architect. He is professional, efficient, personable, knowledgeable and experienced. I am pleased with the results of my plans and also with the speed and accuracy with which they were produced. Once again, I would not hesitate to recommend Rocco.

We were surprised to hear that modifying a small part of a weight bearing wall in our kitchen would require a permit. Rocco was very responsive and clearly very familiar with the task. He delivered the permit in the promised timeframe and answered all our questions thoroughly.

Knowledgable in understanding of building code requirements with respect to new construction.
Complexities in delivering European corporate design fits into North America.
Awareness of current trends in the international retail design modules and importance of utilization of latest in store fixturing and marketing initiatives.

My project is to totally gut a house and re-build the complete interior of the house. I called Rocco and within a couple of days we met at the house and discussed some ideas for the house design. Within a couple of days Rocco had emailed me a design for the house with several options. After looking at all the design options I asked Rocco a couple of times for changes which he did for me in no time.
After I felt satisfied with the design, Rocco very quickly obtained the building permit for me.
I was very satisfied with the whole experience I had with Rocco.

Even though the weather prevented me from getting my garage built before the winter, it did not prevent Rocco Schipano of Architalcan from giving me fast and top notch service.

I spoke with two other architects who either demanded half the money down, or that I get the permit myself after the plans were drawn. Rocco asked for neither. He was at my home to take the measurements within two days, and had the plans and permit in my hands within three working days. And his knowledge and advice was very helpful.

I look forward to posting pictures of the final project here as soon as it is completed.
