Drawings for a basement renovation

We were referred to Rocco by our contractor and were so happy to work with him. He returned our calls promptly, was efficient and flexible with the drawings and took care of all our permits. He was very friendly and professional. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Structural Issue

I contacted Rocco after reading his reviews on Homestars.ca. He got back to me very quickly and visited us to see the issue. Rocco is very knowledgeable and experienced. He charged us no fee for the advice and gave us a contractor's information to deal with. He also looked up old permits done on or house for us. We plan on using his services once we start renovating.

Permit for Basement

I located Rocco online and after meeting with him decided to engage him. He was agreeable to beign paid on the receipt of the permit which was a big factor. Rocco made the application in a timely manner and followed up with the department to secure it within acceptbale timeframes. I would recommend Rocco for Bulding Permit related work.

Drawings and Permits

I was under the impression that I didn't need a permit for a renovation of my new house until the inspector arrived screaming at my door.
I found Rocco on Home Stars and called him for advice. He came over to the house the same day and assessed the situation. Rocco was a good listener and made me feel comfortable so I hired him for the job of getting the permits.
In less than one week (5 days to be exact) he had made the drawings required by the city, submitted them and had a permit ready to be placed on my door.
Rocco from Architalcan is incredibly efficient and a very nice person to deal with.

Permit for garden doors

We contacted Rocco after reading reviews on this site. We needed a permit to put in garden doors in our new house. Rocco was FAST - so fast we could not really believe it! He was professional, gave great advice, was honest and really knows his stuff. His services are well worth the cost (we had a permit within two weeks, others were saying it would take them over six weeks)! We will use him again and again in the future. Highly recommended.

Permit Drawings

Rocco provided us with drawings and a permit for removal of a load bearing wall extremely quickly - the turn around was much better than what others in the field offer. He arranged for the permit to be submitted and delivered on time even though he was going out of town the next day on vacation. In addition, Rocco was accessible and came out to the property several times without charge.

Rocco designed the job, got us all the permits, and provided us with great contractors to do the work. Without any hesitation would, and will, we recommend Rocco to anyone in need of an architect.

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I have called Rocco in need of permit drawings for a basement underpinning and basement finishing. He came and took site measurments and have delivered as promised! All permits were delivered in a week and revisions according site conditions were sent on the same day! I was very happy with his service and will use him again. Thanks Rocco

Rocco was terrific! I highly recommend Rocco if you are looking for an architect. He is professional, efficient, personable, knowledgeable and experienced. I am pleased with the results of my plans and also with the speed and accuracy with which they were produced. Once again, I would not hesitate to recommend Rocco.
