'' Carmine Carapella, founder of Carapella Architecture is a person of integrity with impeccable taste and sound design ideas. He is a top notch professional and a joy to work with. He transformed our ordinary 1978 builder spec home into the house we’ve always wanted. He created space for a new master suite and laundry room on the second floor by extending the existing roof line. He developed a 1st floor plan with a strong axis of symmetry and opened up beautiful views of our backyard. He added a sunroom for additional light and removed the ceiling from the family room to create a breathtaking 2-story great room. His vision for our remodeled house has exceeded our wildest dreams. I would not recommend doing a project of this scope without an architect and as far as firms go Carapella Architecture gets 5 stars!''
" Carmine Carapella AIA done great job with our home expansion plans. He surveyed the home, listened to our needs and asked lot of questions. He has a passion and vision, to produce the elements that made a huge difference. The part of my home that he touched is remarkable, functional for a family with kids, but also beautiful and elegant at the same time. His personality is very high energy and committed, he really cares about every aspect of your project. We have built with him rather large renovations. Hands down, no question, the best experience and the most talent brought to the project by his team.”
