Callahan Architecture, LLC

Brian was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was extremely responsive and professional and he delivered us plans that reflected everything we could want in a home. You would be crazy not to use Brian! The before and after pictures speak for themselves.

In the spring of 2017, my wife and I undertook the project of a complete renovation of our 1923, colonial including a 2 story add-on addition to the first floor kitchen; install of 1st and 2nd floor bathrooms; complete rewiring of original electric; basement refinishing; restoration of original and install of new floors; removing wall between dining room and kitchen; incorporation of enclosed porch into rest of house; installation of central air; construction of new deck of of kitchen. We chose Brian from 4 different architects based on his portfolio as well as his general demeanor in dealing with people. He gave us several design options when we told him our wish list and worked closely with us in the lead-up to the actual construction; tweaking the designs to accommodate our ideas and presenting us with alternative ideas to help us realize better design options. Brian's familiarity with Teaneck, NJ building codes was very important to our project as my wife and I had heard from other contractors and architects that Teaneck is a lot more stringent than other townships. We found this to be true during subsequent inspections during the 6-month course of construction as well as post-construction application for Certificate of Occupancy. Brian was with us every step of the way, helping us resolve unforeseen issues (HVAC) as well as providing various drawings required by the township at various stages leading up to the CO. We can whole-heartedly recommend Callahan Architecture for the quality of the work as well as quality of Brian's character.

Brian provides the perfect blend of creativity and purpose. He listens yet has vision and knowledge to come up with a collaborative design that suits your lifestyle. He is vested and interested and takes pride in his work. Brian is a pleasure to work with.

It has been a pleasure working with Brian Callahan for two projects at our home. His knowledge and expertise has created a fantastic design that met our goals for function, aesthetics and economics. Brian is easy to work with and keeps an open mind. He did a good job of balancing input from my wife and I to satisfy both our needs. He has a thorough knowledge of building code and local zoning regulations which helped keeping the construction permit approval process on track. We have recommended Brian to several friends and family members and all have been very happy with his services. As a matter of fact, the general contractor on our add-a-level project liked the design so much he used Callahan Architecture for a project on his own home.
