House Architecture and Construction,pllc

We hired Silvio based on the excellent work he did for 2 neighbors within a block of our home. He added on to the back of our house and created a new kitchen, new half bath, new mud room and finished the basement. We added a/c, a generator, and converted to gas heat. Silvio has the best ideas and best designs for everything. He often added touches that improved the result...such as feathering in the exterior paint to integrate the new with the old. The job was on time and on budget. We are very pleased and are planning anotjher ob with Silvio to up grade our attic and guest suite. We are happy to act as a reference and give tours. Photos to come.

Silvio Luca is a gifted architect and builder. We desperately needed a new roof and new stucco for the exterior of our 1927 Tudor. We also wanted more light in the kitchen, as well as more closet space and a larger master bath upstairs. Silvio Luca had the vision and creative design ideas to accomplish all these goals and more, and he was able to do so in keeping with the original style of the house. The improvement to the exterior has been extraordinary. Strangers now literally stop to complement our "new" old house! Silvio both restored and beautified our home! We give him our highest recommendation!

We are a month or two away from moving into our dream home, built from the ground up on a vacant lot. Silvio has been integral in the design and inspiration for the home --- but also in the execution of the process. The day to day management of a project of this size is no easy task. He has been flawless in assisting us in selecting the right subs, the timeliness of the process, to choosing the best materials. His eye for details and perfection are unmatched. Silvio treats every detail as if he's doing it for his own home---- and we honestly feel that he cares to a level that we didn't think possible. When we began the process we heard all of the horror stories of building your own home. However with him in charge it really has been a joy and we have not really felt overwhelmed and stressed. He cares so much that we really can sit back and trust that he's on top of things. That trust is really the key to what makes Silvio great. With contractors you constantly have to worry if you're being taken for a ride--- and whether their suggestions are truly in your best interests or theirs. He genuinely cares to get it right. You are just not going to find that anywhere else. In addition, his expertise is truly amazing. He thinks things through 5 steps in advance and anticipates any issue before it's an issue. This has made it so that during this entire process nothing has taken us by surprise. His estimates of cost are always exactly right, and nothing has gone over budget or caught us by surprise. To me, this is more than a job for Silvio. This is his passion and his love and we genuinely appreciate his efforts and his perfection and cannot imagine working with anyone else. If anyone is thinking of hiring him, we welcome you to our home so you can see first hand what's he is capable of. Feel free to email me.

Silvio is a true professional. His passion for design was immediately evident the first time we met him and his ability to manage a large complex job made our renovation/addition a success. His ideas through our process were fabulous and made our 1925 home look like it was always twice the size. We don't believe anyone else could have managed our transformation (3 story addition, gut/renew old house, etc) within 7 months especially with his attention to detail. The best part of all is he remains a trusted source of ideas and support if there is ever a need.

Silvio Luca not only has amazing vision and unsurpassed creativity, he is incredibly astute at finding solutions to seemingly impossible challenges and his estimates are spot on. He and his team worked tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect when we renovated and doubled the size of our 1925 home. They were able to meticulously work in every modern convenience we wished for and still be true to the feel and style of the original house. We have called on Silvio on occasion over the years and he has always gone out of his way to be helpful. I give him the highest recommendation and then some.

House Architecture and Construction far exceeded our expectations on every level. The quality of work and expertise is second to none. Sal Luca is very hands on and attentive to every detail. He was mindful our our needs and budget while creating a beautiful space for our family. We would highly recommend him.

What impressed us about Silvio the architect was his ability, after only one meeting, to capture on paper a blueprint of our dream house. His expertise as a general contractor and in the intricate zoning rules of Scarsdale, NY, was instrumental in making the house a reality and within budget and on time! With Silvio, we got the whole package. He wore both hats comfortably and without conflict. He had the uncanny ability to estimate costs to the penny and was always the first person on the job every day. In addition, Silvio's eye for detail was amazing and at times, exhausting. The end result, though, was so worth it; we continue to get compliments from everyone who visit us and from strangers who drive by. Even after the project was long finished, he was always available and responsive to our needs. We wholeheartedly recommend Silvio as both an architect and general contractor.

It has been a pleasure working with House Architecture. Not only is Silvio Luca mutually talented but his artistic vision and quest for perfection gave our home a sense of solitude and inspiration. Our family and friends cannot stop complimenting the details.

The design and construction services provided by Mr. Luca are incredibly accurate. All of his employees are polite and extremely talented in their individual fields. House Architecture and Construction is by far the best contractors in Westchester County.

House Architecture and Construction is terrific. In one company you get design and build - which is a huge advantage. From experience, architects and contractors constantly squabble on jobs - -with the homeowner stuck in the middle forced to take sides. An architect wants too much steel in the foundation, the contractor always wants to cut a needless corner to move the job. With House, those concerns are eliminated. Silvio, the principal is a talented and creative architect, but he's also a builder/contractor so he doesn't design things that (a) can't be done, or (b) cost too much money. In addition, with architect/contractor combinations, i.e., design-built, 9 times out of 10, the professional is more one than the other. Either he/she is an architect by training who "dabbles" in construction management or oversite; or he/she is a contractor who happens to have an education background and is a licensed architect. Silvio is truly both, who is suited to be hired as either -- or both. No contractor is better suited to execute a plan effectively than the person who actually designed it -- that is, if he/she knows the work -- and Silvio truly does, and he has scores of projects in affluent Scarsdale and the surrounding areas to prove it. House's work is impeccible and Silvio is truly a perfectionist. We have had the same discussion 20 times where as the home-owner/investor, I have told him, "Silvio, it looks fine -- let's move on..." It's usually the other way around. I highly recommend House Architecture and Construction -- without reservation.

I wholeheartedly recommend Silvio Luca as your prospective house architect and construction manager. He designed and built our beautiful Tudor home with passion and care. The quality and precision of his work is second to none. You are in excellent hands with Silvio Luca. Everyone loves our home, and so do we!

Working with House Architecture has been wonderful. His creativity and professionalism superseded my expectations. The workmanship is of the highest quality. Silvio would have no less. I have seen other projects that House Architecture has done and am amazed. My home is well designed and is a beautiful place to live because of the talent and care that House Architecture put into it. I highly recommend House Architecture to anyone who is looking for professionalism, creativity and quality work.
