**★★★★★ — Pimlico Interiors, Aug. 2018**

> Schettino Architects has been a phenomenal partner to our interior design firm.  We built a house from the ground up with Jim and James and have spent many, many hours with this team working out the smallest of details.  They are a true partner when it comes to design professionals; from the kitchen designer, to the landscape architect, to the sports-court specialist to our interior design firm. Schettino Architects respects the process and works to make everyone on the project heard.  Jim and James allowed us to push the limits a bit in order to create a very unique home whose architecture will stand the test of time.

**★★★★★ — Aimee Tusa, June 2017**

We had a unique parcel of land to work with and they were phenomenal at listening to our dreams, ideas and needs and making our vision come to life.  Each meeting with them was collaborative.  They took our concerns, suggestions and questions and worked with us to find solutions.  We are so happy with our home and love the details that came from their years of experience and expertise.  They worked so well with our builders also.  Problem solving and cooperation....  We are so grateful to this fabulous father-son team who helped make our house a home!

Their architectural talents speak for themselves, but their ability to work easily with clients- understand how a family lives and what is important in helping to realize a vision- was impressive.Jim and James worked beautifully within our timeline.
