We recently completed a full gut bathroom remodel in our Gold Coast high-rise condo, and choosing Arete Renovators and their partner company Arete Art of Design, was the best decision we could have made! From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional.
Being out of state, we were initially concerned about managing a renovation remotely, especially given our high expectations for quality workmanship and attention to detail. After meeting with seven different contractors, we chose Arete, and they exceeded every one of our expectations.
Ivana and Marija were amazing to work with during the design phase, truly listening to our vision and respecting our budget. Their professionalism and creativity made the entire process smooth, even though we were communicating from afar.
Once the design was finalized, Ned took over as the project manager. His responsiveness, transparency, and proactive communication were outstanding. He kept us updated with regular photos and was quick to address any issues that arose due to the age of the building. What really impressed us was his problem-solving approach—he always had a solution ready before bringing an issue to our attention, which kept everything stress-free.
The project stayed on schedule and within budget, even with a few change orders. When we flew in for the final walk-through, we were blown away seeing the finishes Marija helped us pick out and the quality of the workmanship. As perfectionists, we were prepared to have a list of touch-ups or concerns, but there were none—everything was flawless.
In every aspect, from design to execution, Arete Renovators and Arete Art of Design delivered top-notch service. We’re thrilled with the results and will undoubtedly turn to Arete for any future projects. Highly recommend!
