ARETE
WORK WITH US WHY ARETE? OUR RECENT WORK CONTACT
Quality carpentry, joinery and reconstruction from a family business
We deliver a seamless process from start to finish, completely stress-free. We communicate fluently in English, Czech, Slovak and French. No job is too small and no project is too big.
Our name stems from the Greek concept of Arête – realizing total potential. We bring this philosophy to every square meter we touch.
45 years of combined expertise. Serving Prague, Central Bohemia, and Western Slovakia
BUILT TO LAST
Our mission is to create functional, lasting spaces that reflect your unique vision. Combining modern building techniques with a sharp eye for detail, we place your wishes at the heart of every project.
Our know-how is backed by international experience across Europe—ranging from luxury alpine chalets in Austria and residential resorts in Belgium to modular container structures in Germany.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US
We keep our word and stick to agreed deadlines. We work on your project exclusively ourselves to maintain absolute control over quality.
We hand over the work only when every single detail is absolutely perfect. And our departure is not the end of the story—we remain here for our clients long after the final invoice is paid.
WHAT WORKING WITH US LOOKS LIKE
Before We Begin
Before the project starts, you’ll get a complete budget. We believe in fair play, so you’ll always know exactly what you're paying for.
During the Build
A short message every working day from us — two photos, three sentences. You always know where the project is.
Handover
You will receive a clear maintenance guide along with a list of all materials and color codes used for everything we installed.
After
A check-in at six and twelve months on bigger jobs, and a note from us one year after the work is done.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
01 Five trades, one team
We handle all carpentry, joinery, flooring, welding and maintenance ourselves. For plumbing and electrical work that requires specific licensing in the Czech Republic, we partner with our trusted, long-term specialists. We fully coordinate their work, meaning you only ever deal with us.
02 Four languages, on the phone and on site
We answer the phone, write the quote, and run the job in English, Czech, Slovak or French.
03 We show up, we're on time, we clean up
If we say we'll be there at nine, we're there at nine. The quote you sign is the price you pay, with any changes agreed in writing before we do them. The site is clean at the end of every day, not just at handover.
04 We come back if something's wrong
Two-year warranty on our work as standard. After bigger jobs we check in at six and twelve months to tighten what's loosened. The first year, you can call us any time.
