"We have had a wonderful experience with Herlong and Associates. Their creativity, attention to detail and quality in the areas of architecture, interior architecture and interior design have made creating and building our new home a real pleasure."

-Melissa and Tim Kelly

"Working with you and your talented, professional staff on the 2001 Waterway house was a pleasure from start to finish. The creative floor plan design your team came up with is ideally suited for relaxed Low Country living and takes maximum advantage of the lot's water views. The exterior and interior design details added lots of character to the house and a very distinctive look to all of the living spaces. I would highly recommend your architectural firm to others, and I look forward to working with you again in the future."

-Sam Fowler, Sea Island Builders

We initially became interested in Steve Herlong's work when we saw a home that he had helped design on Dewees Island, SC. 12 years ago. After looking at other projects that Herlong & Associates had created we knew that we were interested in meeting with Steve to determine if we would be interested in spending several years working with him on designing our home. From the very first moment that we met Steve and his staff we knew that our search was over. Steve Herlong is extremely talented and has many years of experience. He is deliberate and thoughtful and we knew that we had his undivided attention every time we meant with him. I can't imagine meeting anyone who is easier to work with than Steve Herlong. He brought our ideas to life and he and his team created the house that we only imagined in our minds."

-Allison Bourland

"We feel so fortunate to have selected Steve Herlong and Associates as our architects when we built our first home on Isle of Palms. His design took into account the views, the prevailing winds, and all the details that we outlined when we discussed our dream house. He and Rodd Heinlen were excellent to work with, fun and so accommodating. They are truly artists and professionals!"

-Joanie and Tim Teel

"Steve and his team listen to everything you want and craft your ideas into a home that is not only beautiful but fully functional. They are fun, creative, and easy to work with."

-Nelson and Samantha Ploch

"Steve gave us attention, time, a great listening ear and an even greater skilled eye - no tension, no rush..all the while with such calm at our tweaks and changes we knew we would have just what we hoped for... a dream home!"

-Gregg and Betty Ryberg

"We came back to Steve and his staff when we bought our next project, a 50 year old beach house, we knew that we had to have Steve Herlong to help us design our renovation. The house was a hodgepodge of add-ons and renovations over the years. He took this house, kept the integrity of the old beach house feel and with interior designer, Theresa Bishopp, transformed it into an amazing, comfortable home."

-Joanie and Tim Teel

"It is our pleasure to write this testimonial for Steve Herlong about our experience with him during the design and building of our oceanfront Dream Home. It far exceeded all of our expectations. We choose Steve as our architect based on high praises from many realtors, builders and homeowners. From the moment we met Steve we felt welcome and appreciated. His commitment to creative, quality design to ensure complete satisfaction for his clients is his primary goal. Steve began the process by asking us what features were important to us and what kind of feelings we wanted to have in and about our new home. He listened intently and gave us great suggestions about design practicalities he learned from his vast experience. The entire process was a Happy and the end result was even Happier. For Steve, each new design is a learning experience on how to make his next homes even better. We just can't say enough good things about his passion, his incredible creative talents and the ease of working with him. Everyone on his Staff was also a pleasure to work with and exhibited the same commitment to excellence. Busy as they were, they always made the time to meet with us to make sure we were happy with the progress. Finally, we want to say Thank You to Steve and his associates for giving our family such a beautiful home where many happy memories are being made..... because nothing is more precious than great memories."

"Buffington Homes has worked with Herlong & Associates Architects for over ten years. They are a great team not only internally within their company but with their clients,contractors and landscape architects. As General Contractor we can serve our clients better together than we can as individual silos of information. The Herlong team shares that philosophy and our projects result in livable works of art with clients that are friends for life. Herlong also offers turnkey architectural and interior design services making the process easier for clients who live in other parts of the country. They are a great group of people."

"Renovating an old house on Sullivans Island presented many challenges, from preserving the integrity of the original outside to updating the inside. Throughout the entire process, Steve and his team were creative, resourceful, responsive, and fair. They helped to solve problems, rather than say it cannot be done. If we had to do it over again (and we won’t, because we did it right), we would choose them, no question about it."

-David Russell and Jamie Brownlee

"We had our first big party at our new Isle of Palms home, a rehearsal dinner for a Florence friend, and there were lots of wows...the house flows so well, as you planned it would. Thanks for a great plan!"

-Carol Dawson

"As a builder, I like to get involved early in the design phase and Steve Herlong and his team of Architects and Interior Designers are a pleasure to work closely with. I have worked with Steve for many years and he is one of the best! The team's attention to detail and creativity can be seen in all of their work and I would highly recommend Herlong & Associates to anyone looking to create their dream home!"

-Phillip W. Smith - General Contractor

"Steve lives on an island, he knew all the nuances of the ocean, sky, beach we were just growing to love and incorporated that knowledge into the design - skilled eye, calm approach and a great listener - and we have the home we dreamed of!"

-Gregg and Betty Ryberg

"We were fortunate enough to find Steve Herlong as our architect for our dream house on the beach of Sullivan's Island and, unlike so many others who build houses, the whole experience was a pleasure. Steve is a brilliant visionary. I would give him pages of wish lists and accordian files full of pictures from magazines and he was able to translate it into feasible drawings. His attention to detail was exemplary. I remember one day he visited the site three times, early morning, noon and late afternoon to look at some sample shades of green on our shutters so he could see them in different sunlights!! Our house is spectacular, both functionally and aesthetically, with many interesting details included by Steve. If I were ever able to build a house again, I would look no further than Herlong and Associates."

-Tim and Page Walter

"We could not be more pleased with the home that Steve and his team designed for us. And he is surely pleased, too, because our home won both local and regional architectural awards. The process was a pleasure. And 13 years later, our home retains a timeless beauty. So often we hear the boaters as they go by in the creek, "Oh! what a beautiful house!"
