About

Areté means “quality” in
Ancient Greek

REPUTATION OF QUALITY

Since 2002, we have built a reputation of quality and workmanship, customer service, project management, and reliability. Brothers, Igor and Davor, started Areté in 2002 along with their father, Jovo, who is a master carpenter. They hoped that their father could market his skills in carpentry and custom millwork and work fewer hours to make ends meet for their family. Igor and Davor left their careers in finance in the mid-2000s to join Areté full-time and grow the business and team.
