VACCARO Architecture, Inc.

Mike Vaccaro is an outstanding architect. Mike designed a fourth bedroom suite and dormer from part of our second floor storage space. We gave him a few ideas and he delivered us a design that exceeded our expectation within our budget! Mike is professional, an expert in his field, assessible, timely and such a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Vaccaro Architecture!

Mike designed our home in Palmetto Bluff. We gave him all our ideas and wants and he managed to incorporate everything in the home we could of ever dreamed.

I redesigned a new home. Mike offered fantastic solutions throughout the entire process. He was accessible, diligent, and, most importantly, friendly. I felt from our first phone call that he understood my vision and kept within my budget continuously. I could not give him a higher recommendation.

I know Mike Vaccaro as a client of a home that is being built and from being on the ARB for our community. There is no question that Mike has all the technical skills required of an architect from both perspectives listed above i.e. codes, ARB rules and philosophy etc. The difference is that Mike works with his clients to provide them what they want in addition to providing professional advice on plans and layouts. I know this as an owner and seeing how he has professionally defended his clients to the ARB for their wishes and how these fit within the ARB guidelines. In addition he has worked with and gained from contractors for practical solutions so his designs and materials are also practical and economical. As of this review our home has the framing, roof, windows, rough electrical, plumbing installed and the HVAC complete. We are very pleased with the layout, exterior look, relative space relationships and overall details provided by the architect. Mike will work with the owner at various levels of input from a complete support to more involvement by the owner in the details. In our community Mike has provided designs from very large exclusive homes to smaller economical homes all fitting within the guidelines and style of the community. i am pleased with his design and have no problem providing a personal endorsement of his work.

Mike Vaccaro handled our home from conception to completion. He and our builder worked very well together. This was the first time we have built and it was a totally pleasant and rewarding experience. We love the home.

We hired this firm, (Mike Vaccaro) for our project and from day 1 he was very professional and worked with our very rigid architectural review board to get the design we wanted approved and the project started. He helped us get the right builder and we had nothing but very positive experience with the team. The project was our 2nd home, even though we were away in Ohio Mike supervised the building process as though it was his own. We were able to make only a few trips during the construction and we had no problems or complaints with the firm or the builder. We have no reservation in recommending Mike to any one or rehire him ourselves.

We've worked with an architect before, but never have we worked with anyone so able to translate our words and ideas into a home we are anxious to live in. Mr. Vaccaro saved us from a colonial-style box and presented us with plans for a home which is currently being built and is an absolute delight. Mike has been a pleasant person to work with. He's been able to truly 'listen' to our desires and translate them into a design that works for us, fits the lot perfectly, and is within our budget. The pictures are of the front and rear of the house. The front faces the street, and the rear overlooks a pond. Views from each window are spectacular, especially from the great room which overlooks a marshland and the Cooper River. Because of the close proximity to the water, the house is built on pilings. I would have no qualms recommending Mike as the architect of choice for Daufuskie Island and Hilton Head Island.
