Chris Blake was our architect for an expansion and renovation of our 1960s home. He not only…read moreprovided refreshing ideas for our design, but he was extremely attentive throughout our whole design process. Additionally, he provided additional plans when needed without any hassle. I must also note that his plans were so thorough regarding the town's zoning requirements (set back requirements, FAR, coverage rations, etc.). His plans helped make our process easier for both myself as the homeowner and my contractor. Chris is easy going and easy to talk and I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any individual who is looking for a very good architect.

Both Tim and I admire Gus' exquisite, award winning work year after year. There isn't a detail he…read moredoes not think of when he is designing a custom home which is why he consistently exceeds his clients wildest dreams and expectations. We must applaud his artistry in beautifully restoring old homes by breathing new life into each one giving them reason to smile again. Living in an 1860's farmhouse, we have a thing for old homes. Clearly his beautiful, modern yet warm and cozy home in the Berkshires was designed with his heart and love for his amazing and beautiful family. A gift for a lifetime! We look forward to seeing what he does with his innate talent and skills in architecture for years to come!

We had an excellent experience working with this company on our custom residential awning. From…read morestart to finish, the customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail were outstanding. The owner, Ty, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to walk us through different options when we weren't sure which direction to go. He offered thoughtful suggestions on materials and style that truly elevated the final result. Ty made multiple trips to our home to ensure we felt confident and comfortable with our decision, which meant a lot to us. We ultimately chose a significantly larger awning to provide shade in our very sunny backyard, and the end result is absolutely beautiful. It perfectly complements the vibe of our yard. We can't wait to host this spring and enjoy some much-needed relief from the heat under our stunning new awning. Highly recommend!

We chose Brian from 4 different architects based on his portfolio as well as his general demeanor in dealing with people. He gave us several design options when we told him our wish list and worked closely with us in the lead-up to the actual construction; tweaking the designs to accommodate our ideas and presenting us with alternative ideas to help us realize better design options. Brian's familiarity with Teaneck, NJ building codes was very important to our project as my wife and I had heard from other contractors and architects that Teaneck is a lot more stringent than other townships. We found this to be true during subsequent inspections during the 6-month course of construction as well as post-construction application for Certificate of Occupancy. Brian was with us every step of the way, helping us resolve unforeseen issues (HVAC) as well as providing various drawings required by the township at various stages leading up to the CO. We can whole-heartedly recommend Callahan Architecture for the quality of the work as well as quality of Brian's character.

Peter's personality is unique. He is patient, soft-spoken, thoughtful and generous. We've found…read morehim to be a very good fit for us from an architectural standpoint. He appreciates nuances in character and personality (of his clients) and knows how to incorporate these traits into what he designs. He does lack occasional attention to bookkeeping detail (like getting our email addresses and dates correct), but we never found this to be a bother. He is exceptionally accurate with what he does for a living and so far, we've found his network of builders to be very similar. We plan on using him for our landscape design as well. I will update this as our project moves along. Some questions I'll try to answer include: 1. Timeliness 2. Managerial skills 3. Adeptness at getting permits and projects approved 4. Functionality of space designed 5. Translation of ideas from paper to real life (we'll try to gauge how builders respond to his design ideas). So far, my wife and I have been extremely pleased.

If I could give a lower rating than one, I would. We had hoped hiring an architect would save us…read moretime and money, spending our hard earned money in the best ways possible while utilizing a professional who has the experience to guide us in this process and make it enjoyable. We thought we were doing the right thing, but unfortunately we chose the wrong person. Hiring Peter Cooper proved to be the exact opposite of this in EVERY way. When we first met, we gave him a budget and discussed our needs. He noted it was a challenge but was warm and bubbly and told us everything we were after should be able to be achieved within reason. We were sold a pipe dream in that the first two quotes I received from builders (one from his 'most economical' suggestion) were over 50% higher than the top of our budget. Yes I realize numbers cannot be known, and builders will vary but as a professional if you ignore my budget or cannot even come within 10-20% of it with a professional guess, I believe it's time to retire. He took ZERO responsibility for this and keep referring to his 'agreement' which just tells me this is a common theme with him and I assume many are just scared to stand up to him because he is supposed to be the pro. He deflected any and all responsibility and even had the audacity to claim "that budget was never made clear to me at all" which of course was a total lie. In fact, he was the 'unprofessional' when I challenged him to the fact that he wasn't meeting our needs. I was baited and switched...and he threw me out of his office (actually he walked out in a huff like a coward and left me there, a true child in an elderly frame of a fraudster). Peter also hand draws everything, which may have been state of the art in the 70s, but as a consumer, I am not trained to understand these drawings and making revisions becomes a much longer process and of course much more expensive from a time stand point as well as the fact he has to outsource having the final documents drawn up in CAD for a builder and permits to actually used. I had read an article of the questions to ask and architect before you hire, and one of those questions was "do you personally use CAD or some sort of computer aided software" and to avoid those that do not. I should have gone with my gut there and I hope someone reading this won't make the same mistakes I did. I learned a $2000 lesson today, please do more careful research than I did before choosing an architect for your building plans.
