"My husband and I recently completed an extensive renovation on our 13 year old beach house located on the Isle of Palms, SC. We loved the location of our home within walking distance of the beach and close proximity to Charleston. However, we were in need of a more living space that could accommodate our children and grandchildren. Herlong & Associates Interiors immediately saw our home's potential. They designed a very functional yet sophisticated layout which appealed to us as empty nesters and still made allowances for our family. The renovation included a complete kitchen make over, total redesign of the master bedroom and bathroom, adding an office space, enclosed porch, guest bath, elevator and a pool and outdoor kitchen. From the very inception of the renovation the designers at Herlong & Associates guided us through selection process removing stress from a potentially overwhelming project. They were able to keep our tastes and budget in mind while introducing us to the latest trends and products. Herlong & Associates Interiors careful attention to design, proportion and functionality are evident in the way the house flows effortlessly from room to room. We were pleased to incorporate sustainable features into the house like the use of American Clay on walls and ceilings. The soft inviting color palette flows throughout the house blending the outside with the indoors. Herlong Associate Interiors listen to their clients, respond quickly to any questions or concern and are committed to your project no matter how big or small. My husband and I are beyond pleased with our new home and look forward to sharing it with our friends and family for years to come. My husband and I enjoyed the entire design and selection process working closely as a team with the designers. They kept us abreast of deadlines and budget constraints. They were patient and fun to work with while operating with the highest integrity."

-Tim and Denise Solso, Isle of Palms

"We simply could not be more pleased with the services provided by the Herlong & Associates team. They listened intently to our family’s specific needs, created a stunning design reflective of our dreams, and skillfully guided us through every aspect of construction and interior design as well. Thank you, Herlong & Associates for making our “dream home” a reality!"

-Mary Beth and Gary Thornhill

"We chose Steve Herlong and his team to conceive, design and project manage the creation of our dream home on Kiawah Island. The Herlong team was with us for every aspect of the project - from clean-sheet-of-paper conceptual design, to detailed architectural and interior design and plans, through construction, furnishing and move-in. The Herlong team was fantastic in every regard, and it was great to have both Architectural and Interior design experts from one team working together in a coordinated and integrated manner. Our relationship started when we hired Herlong & Associates in the fall of 2006, carried through the next 3 years of design, construction and occupancy in July 2009, and continues to this day in both professional and personal context. The 3 year project duration is important to understand, as it reflects very positively on the Herlong team and our builder as well (Buffington Homes) - they worked WITH us at OUR pace, never once languishing on their end nor pushing us to proceed more quickly than we were comfortable. We had a custom timetable for a custom project. Our home is truly “Award Winning” for which we have the Herlong & Associates team to thank. We are very happy homeowners and customers and would recommend the Herlong team with complete confidence."

-Todd Singleton & Lisa Mascolo, Kiawah Island SC

"Herlong and Associates did a fantastic job for us in seeing our dream house come to reality on Isle of Palms. The "team" took care of every detail, start to finish, and most of this was done with us being 1000 miles away. They understood the style we were looking for in our home, they captured the exact feel with the interior design, and the decorating support integrated furniture and art work that was accumulated from several locations! They kept us well informed along the way as to progress of the project, were responsive to our issues and questions, and gave us plenty of time to make decisions either in person or remotely, that kept the project on time---and on budget. They project managed the many variables on this size and complexity of a project and worked incredibly well with our builder. After 19 moves in our our 39 years, we knew what we wanted to achieve and Herlong and Associates helped us get that done."

-Sherry and Gary Forsee

"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!"

-Frank and Catherine Middleton

"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

"We found Steve and his associates to be very flexible, creative, and willing to accommodate our needs and desires for our new home. This was our first experience working with an architect, and we weren't sure what to expect. We quickly discovered they were not only professional and knowledgeable, but lots of fun too! This group made our design/building process much more pleasurable than we ever imagined it might be, and we love our new home."

-Kathy and Dick Pate

"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."

-Art and Suzie Kechijian

"When Pam and I started to build our dream house, we went to Steve and his team to spell out what we wanted. I figured it would take months. Steve was such a great listener that he got it all just perfect on the first try. Steve was the best, and now we have our perfect dream house."

-Doug Van Scoy

"Dear Steve,

This seems a good moment to thank you and your firm for all the help you have given us over the past few years. Your work for us has been across the board: design of new structure; design of extensive renovations of three older homes; representation before the Design Review Board; supervision of contractors, both highly experienced and not so much; and interior work. Have I left anything out? I think not. Great results have been achieved at each step of the way. We couldn’t be more pleased. At each phase of your firm’s work, you have been closely involved without having to front everything. Your colleagues have all performed wonderfully, both in terms of results achieved as well, as in terms of the timeliness of production – even when things were a little busier than they are today. And I think you have performed that most difficult of tricks – knowing when and how to offer up your own ideas to build upon what your client has offered up, so that when the dust settles, it’s their house. Good work. Keep it up."

-Suzan and Stephen Zoukis

"Steve and his team did an amazing job on our home. We wanted a beautiful creek side design but were limited by a small lot size. We wanted decks and a flowing plan connecting the inside to the outside using open doors and expansive decks. We needed space in the house to accommodate 6 people without having massive square footage due to the size of our lot.. Herlong and Associates delivered a exactly what we were looking for. They created a perfect flow with all the interior details that make the house unique special. They were very always available and very responsive to our concerns throughout the design process. They also stayed right by our side throughout construction helping to insure we got exactly what we wanted. Finally, we would love to work with the folks at Herlong again if we ever decide to design and build another home."
