I worked with Arete The Art of Design and Arete Renovators to remodel a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a living room fireplace area. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of their work or with their client service. They took great care to create designs that are equally beautiful and functional. And they found creative solutions to meet any constraints of the space and to stay within my budget. Plus, they completed all projects on schedule. It was a pleasure to work with everyone on the design and build teams!

We were in search of a design-to-build firm with a good reputation and a quality portfolio. Through the recommendation of a friend, we found Arete. We had a full townhome reno, spanning 2 phases, and we worked with Arete for both. The 'Arete way' is a clear differentiator in comparison to the broken, many vendor, lack of communication experience most have. Davor and Ivana were able to guide us through the design and construction process - it was clear and concise. Bravo! Vasi is an interior designer gem. She dreamed up an im... read more

Working With Arete (Shannon, Ned, Ivanka, Danny) was Incredible! They renovated our upstairs bathroom and it was better than i imagined. They were always super communicative, on time, and delivered an AMAZING quality renovation.
