Michael J. Silva Architecture

We are now living in our new home and we are loving it thanks to the plans we made with Michael. Michael displayed great taste in design and aesthetics. His likeable nature made it super easy to talk through all kinds of ideas. When we didn't know what we didn't know, Michael brought things to our attention and offered alternatives and modifications that met our ever-changing objectives. He was extremely responsive and available throughout the entire experience. Michael's deep resources were very helpful. We were budget conscious, and Michael offered several contractors of varied price targets so that we could select the best fit. His experience in building projects and building materials, we think gave him an edge over other architects when drafting your plans. Michael also followed up with the contractor, made several on-site inspections, and always put us at ease with his findings. Just hire Michael Silva, period.

Michael is a true pro and Gentle man. My wife and I are so delighted with everything he has done for us. Michael is the kind of individual that you love doing business with. Our plans are completed and will start on the construction things this week. Paul

Mike Silva is an absolute Professional! We have enjoyed every minute of our Home Building Journey with Mike and truly appreciate his personal touch and expertise. We are looking forward to making our dreams a reality! Thank You for Everything Mike!

Michael is a fantastic architect and he comes highly recommended. He was knowledgeable, personable and paid great attention to detail. He saw the project to the end and was always available for inquiries. Thank you Michael, it was a pleasure to work with you.

One of the best decisions my husband and I made during the reconstruction of our family’s cottage was to engage Michael Silva as our architect. He spent time getting to know us and asked the right questions to determine what we wanted and what would best serve our needs. Michael is very patient, accommodating changes and challenges large and small with expertise and professionalism. He took a personal interest in our project and it was clear to us that its success was as important to him as it was to us. He has gone above and beyond our expectations working with town officials on permitting and conservation concerns, keeping us updated every step of the way. Michael attended all meetings concerning our project, always providing useful information and suggestions. We would not hesitate to recommend Michael J. Silva Architecture.

Michael was a great partner in remodeling our home. He had creative ideas for redoing the interior and the exterior modifications came out better than expected. More importantly, we always knew the status of the project and things were done on time. He came highly recommended to me and I would highly recommend him to anyone else.

We were so happy to have Michael design our new home for us. He is a very experienced and gifted architect. Michael's eye for design and attention to detail is amazing. We love our new home so much and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Michael has demonstrated a high level of competence and creativity in the work performed for us. We are planning on the addition of a room and deck to our existing beachfront residence. This has presented special challenges including environmental permitting, elevated structures, weather resistance, etc., all while maintaining the architectural integrity of the existing structure. Michael also has strong affiliations with various engineering firms and contractors that are needed to complete the project.

Michael is a very capable and creative architect. I had the good fortune of acquiring his professional help and contracted with him to expand the first level of our “cape” house in Mattapoisett. We originally thought of modifying a previous family room addition to use as the basis of our new plans. Michael looked into that structure and determined that because of some floor issues and wall cracks that it was not structurally sound enough to use. I had full confidence in Michael’s recommendation; so, although it would cost more to destroy that structure and start over, we agreed. As the first phase started, my contractor ran into a very disturbing issue where the foundation of the initial addition was unstable. Michael was correct in his analysis. Michael is very thorough and meticulous. I highly recommend Michael Silva as your architect.
