Tim McCorry is an exceptional Architect. He actually may be one of the best I have ever worked…read morewith (and I have worked with many of them)! He is highly skilled and very detailed oriented. And Tim is very creative - he listens to what you need and comes up with several ideas and very creative ideas that don't require you to spend a small fortune. We were referred to him for a small (but complicated) stair project and his work was amazing---and received approval from the town. We then hired him for a large cottage house renovation and once again---he WOW'd us with his drawings and ability to meet all of our needs with this project. We are now working with Tim on a third project to update our Master Bedroom and he was the only architect that was able to come up with a design that did not require expanding our home---he is BRILLIANT! If you want a trustworthy, professional, honest and extremely talented architect--pick up the phone and call Tim right now--you will THANK ME!

Jim may seem like he knows what he is doing but in my case he made a massive error and I spent 18…read moremonths designing a massive addition only to find out again 18 months later that Jim determined that my home did not meet the local flood zone requirements. We spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on this plan that was tied to a full backyard design and so much more...along with 3 in person meetings to review the plans (2 hours each) to find out Jim skipped step 1!!!!....which would have avoided all of the wasted time and extensive cost to me financially. When I tried to obtain a full refund for just my outlay of dollars to Jim this was a monumental effort to correct his wrong. Jim blamed me for the error stating I as the homeowner stated the home did not need to be raised. While my home does not need to be raised as is the architectural addition required my home to be raised 1 foot for the addition which was a very specific zoning/architectural rule. This change would have cost 200k plus not to mention all the plans would have to be redone along with obtaining a height variance. Jim never did his proper due diligence and instead continued to blame me as I tried to get my money. I still as of today 6 months later have not received 2k back from Jim as he claims this is still owed to him even though step 1 was missed and if done properly the cost of the 2k would have never occurred along with everything else that his mistake cost me. Again while all may look fine from pics and the sales pitch, I would ensure you do extensive research as I would never recommend Jim/this business to do any such work specifically as a result of the poor business practices. If I could have given zero stars I would have as while mistakes happen there are standard business practices to be taken to make a correction and for Jim to still hold 2k of my money says it all. Jim,(reply to Jim's reply) You clearly have no concern about your clients time or money....your response below was ridiculous as in your last email to me you Assumed my home meets flood requirements!!! Then blame me.... I am not the expert...do your due diligence. Also, it says it all that for 2k you continue to have this public debate about your unprofessional business practices ..I am happy to speak to any person even considering using Jim to share my extremely poor experience and what was void in all that occurred in my case. I have tons of emails that show proof of all that is on this review....

Grasso design was recommended by a contractor we interviewed. He said the best architect around was…read moreextremely busy but this group was good Well. We should have waited! Although the design overall met our needs we have been extremely dissatisfied with how we have been treated by the owner. A major and costly error was made when he worked off of old blue prints and never even bothered to field measure. He never communicated with us or acknowledged the error. The contractor was left to explain the delay expense and major additional and unexpected inconvenience his error caused my family I still cannot believe he has not even acknowledged this major screw up let alone apologized for it. I would Never recommend this firm. Ever.
