Andrew listened to what we wanted in our home and brought it to life. His calm professional demeanor is refreshing. An absolute pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Joanne Muoio, Oct. 2014** > I've been a builder in North Jersey for 30 years and have worked with Andrew on many projects for over 15 years. I have worked with other architects in the past, but have found Andrew to be the most knowledgeable and professional architect I have dealt with on my jobs. He listens to the customer's needs and budget. His designs are flawless and his jobs always run smoothly. Andrew is easy to work with and he makes it a point to always check on the job site during construction. Any questions I have are always answered in a timely fashion. Andrew always produces an excellent design, and I would highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — V Barr, Oct. 2014** > We wholeheartedly recommend Andrew as an architect. He is easy to work with, honest, timely, creative, and knowledgeable. His plans for our two additions worked seamlessly with the rest of our home. His ideas are original and beautiful. Every aspect of the construction was thoroughly detailed and specified in the plans and documents. Andrew was available during construction and made site visits to review the work being done by the contractor. We LOVE the end result and are very happy with our home. We very much recommend working with Andrew as the architect for your next project. He's a very talented architect and a really nice guy to work with. **★★★★★ — jponeros, Oct. 2014** > Passacantando Architects are professional, highly knowledgeable and very responsive. We have received many compliments about the design of the addition and how well it blended in with the existing home. **★★★★★ — aarongunn, Aug. 2014** > I am a general contractor that had the pleasure of working with Andrew on an addition for a mutual friend. Not only was Andrew's design and insight a key to the success of the project, but Andrew also made himself available on several occasions to answer any of our questions that we had during the construction process. I would welcome another opportunity to work with Andrew on another project. **★★★★★ — Heather McDermott, Aug. 2014** > Andrew did the architectural work when we added a large dormer to our attic and put in two bedrooms and a full bathroom. He took our needs/requests into account and also came up with some excellent ideas such as creating a two story entryway that really brightened up the interior of our home. > > He was always prompt, thorough and worked well with our builder. We were thrilled with how the house turned out. I would absolutely recommend him! **★★★★★ — Thomas Hughes, Dec. 2013** > Visionary architect. We started with a very difficult layout. Andrew's work amazed us on how he morphed the layout of the home. We would strongly recommend Andrew to anyone. We have even asked him to consult on a 2nd home 250 miles away on an island. Andrew stepped in and worked with the builder seamlessly and really shined. He went out of his way to do research on what moldings and finishes would be appropriate, which left the builder very impressed. Cant say enough! **★★★★★ — llmj, Dec. 2013** > We are completely thrilled with the renovation designed for us by Andrew Passacantando. He impressed us with his amazing vision, professionalism, and attention to detail. He has an easy going personality and was very open to suggestions and changes based on what we needed and what we could afford. He collaborated very well with our contractor and was always available to answer questions or to stop by the house to check on progress. He has done a number of renovations in our neighborhood and is already hired to do another in the Spring. We highly recommend Andrew for any remodeling project. **★★★★★ — jesse62, Nov. 2013** > Andrew had an incredible vision in designing our renovation that we would never have been able to figure out on our own. He spent much time and effort and was patient with our changes. A true artist. His work speaks for itself. Thank you. **★★★★★ — stellacrib, Oct. 2013** > Passacantando Architects has done an outstanding job on two separate remodeling projects in our home. Given the task of updating our master bathroom 4 years ago and most recently our kitchen and family room, Andrew Passacantando is exceptional in his design, creativity and expertise in every aspect of the project. His attention to detail, his incredible artistic eye and his friendly and sensible manner are just a few reasons why we feel our projects have far surpassed our expectations. Great, great architect! **Comment from Passacantando Architects AIA:** > Thanks!
