Perfect. We are so happy to have met and been provided with the professional services of Mr. Nicholas Faustini! He assisted us with a home improvement project in our Yonkers home. He is most knowledgeable, his architectural plans are impeccable, his service is prompt, he gives useful advice, and he was a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Mr Faustini to anybody in need of an architect!

Project went well. The contractor took longer than expected and kept having to reorders parts, but Nick's part of the process was great. He came by and met with us, discussed our options, and provided drawings for the deck, which we had to submit to the city to get a permit. He answered questions along the way and always got back to us quickly. Nick's services are top notch and I have since considered him for other work since. I would recommend using Nick for any project you are considering.

Very knowledgeable and responsive, Unlike other architects. Project going very smooth

Excellent. He was responsive, thorough and professional throughout the entire process. Nick took the time to explain his recommendations and we would definitely utilize his services in the future.

Nick was professional, responsive and produced high quality work. He also guided me in terms of the process since this is my first renovation process.

It couldn't have gone any better and smoother. Nick listens to when we are looking for and tries to accommodate whenever possible. We cannot be any more pleased with his services. He was always professional, even while we had a toddler running about during our consultations.

Nick came and spent an hour inspecting the rooms, discussing the outcome we wanted, the options available to us based upon his experience. He then went to the local Building Department and spoke with the Inspector to determine what their requirements would be. Based upon these discussions he drew up a plan with all the required specifications on it. He brought it to the Building Department and filed for the necessary Building Permit. The Building Department emailed us with some questions, but these were not related to Nick's plans. He responded quickly with the information they needed to proceed. The process of legalizing preexisting work is very complicated and Nick was always available to offer both technical guidance, opinion, and emotional support. I think that we were very lucky to have found him and we highly recommend him.

Mr. Faustini did a great job with the plans and was extremely easy to work with. He was highly accessible as well as very knowledgeable about what my options were in the conversion process. I highly recommend Mr. Faustini to anyone in need of an architect and would not hesitate to use his services in the future.

Nick was punctual and accurate. I recommend him highly.

I reached out to several architects who serve Manhattan and are familiar with ALT-2 renovations and ultimately chose Nick because of how thoroughly and patiently he answered all my questions about the entire process of renovating a NYC apartment and dealing with the DOB. He really went the extra mile to ensure my questions and concerns were fully addressed. He was great during the entire process, very promptly - yet meticulously - producing the drawings and making any revisions required by the co-op's engineer. His services are an absolute steal given the price and I have already recommended him to friends. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an architect familiar with renovations in NYC, or anywhere else for that matter.

We purchased a house that is about 84 years old and we would like to open some walls to create open concept on the first floor. Nick did an excellent job in checking the joist support in the basement and found most of the beams were weak. We followed his advice and put on more support to each beam. The openings on the first floor were large and to our expectations. Nick always responded in a timely manner and he is extremely professional and easy to work with. During his visit he found a potential leak in the bathroom and he shut off the water for us while we were not home. And later the leak was proved to be an issue. We really appreciate his attention to details!

His work was top notch. My husband had some architectural training and is a perfectionist. When we had a problem with one of the contractors Nick found a solution. Nick has been a perfect partner in all phases of the process. He understood our needs, he has a wonderful eye for proportion and detail, he returned calls quickly, he filed all plans with the city and took that burden from us. I would recommend him highly to anyone needing an architect for any reason.

I cold called Nicholas and was so impressed that he actually answered the phone. I gave him all my information. He went to the building the department to get any paperwork he might need and also to get an idea what the job entailed. He then called me to let me know he would send a proposal out. If I agreed to hire him, we would set up the payment options and get signed contracts. He was cordial, professional, accommodating and always available. We needed to coordinate several meetings and he always tried to make it as convenient as possible. Whenever I left messages, he always and promptly called me back. I would highly recommend hiring Nicholas for any future projects. He really is a professional with a wonderful approach. Really top notch!

First we use Nick services to design our new kitchen , we needed to get permit from the DOB for this project and he take care of every form that was needed , He was an excellent choice , very professional ,diligent and responsive to all our questions about the design and the entire process . We liked him so much that we also use his service for our new deck design. We would definitely recommend his services.

We were planning to remove a non-load bearing wall and our town required architectural drawings as part of the permit applications. I contacted Nick --- he came took a look at our kitchen and what we were planning to do. He took the time to understand what we wanted since we had already planned everything out at this point. Few days later (this was the july 4th weekend) we got a proposal from him which was quite reasonable. He said he could get it done in 2 weeks and delivered on time. He even Got building plans from the town just to ensure that the wall that looks non-load bearing was indeed so to avoid surprises later on. In all, Nick is very easy to work with. He is extremely professional, punctual, and pleasant to work with. Took the time to understanding what we wanted. And clearly explained what he was going to do and when he would deliver. And offered suggestions where he felt things could be done differently and advise on concerns I had. Could not ask for a nicer experience.

He was wonderful in terms of demeanor and attention to detail. He took a lot of time with us and made great suggestions. He made recommendations in possible contractors to give estimates he was very helpful.

I found Nick through Angie’s List who works locally in the area of our home for one planned project. I needed permits for outdoor hardscapes (decorative wall and support wall) in the yard. Although, we had clear vision of what we had in mind, Nick nevertheless developed those plans and helped to facilitate the approval process by drawing up plans for the work to be done. Nick was thorough in his research of our plot registration and had a very strong base of knowledge regarding the codes that needed to be adhered to. Further, one of the walls was within the encroachment area (owned by the city vs. my plot) and Nick was successful in meeting with the planning department on numerous occasions to iron out details that would be amenable to the city’s jurisdiction for subsequent approval. Additionally, I asked Nick to review a second project involving a structural issue within the house (built 1938) that involved analyzing existing as built structure for a main area of the house (attic, 2nd floor, dining room and basement) with regard to weight bearing requirements that has resulted in an unfavorable settling in order to ascertain the appropriate fix by my contractor. In this regard, his measurements and calculations offered a detailed and easily constructed resolution which is in process of being implemented. Nick is extremely competent and, coupled with his pleasant results-oriented demeanor, makes working with him a pleasure. He also communicates well with my contractor to explain all details of projects in process and available whenever I need his input. Nick is now on my short list for several additional projects in the future.

Plan is in progress, Mr. Faustini very knowledgeable in his area.

Nick was incredibly responsive, thorough and professional. We were on a very tight timeline and needed to have blueprints drawn up within less than a week to secure a permit for renovations and he was able to get us exactly what we needed exactly when we needed it at an extremely competitive rate. I would 100% use Nick for future architectural needs and I can't recommend him highly enough.
