About the Owner

Arete Construction Services was created for two reasons: first, because we love the artistic elements of all things masonry both old and new, and secondly, to build to the highest quality level possible. Building your project with us will not only create a beautiful work of art, but also have the proper structural integrity to stand the test of time. We aspire to be meticulous on the job site and with the finished product and take pride in our ethical business practices providing a trusting contractor/client experience.

We take pride in our knowledge gained from 30 years field experience coupled with continual study in the science of masonry materials. There is no “one size fits all” approach. Masonry materials used today are different that those used a hundred years ago. Modern mortar and historic brick don’t play well together and will lead to structural failure over time. We understand the elements required to create your Vision while structurally lasting lifetimes.

Whether you are looking for an expert in historic Masonry restoration, building a walkway, or installing a new fireplace, we are the best choice.

Satisfied Customers

“Troy did a fantastic job of building a Firepit for our backyard. He was reasonably priced and efficient and the quality of the firepit is great. He even went out of his way to find stone that was within my budget that matched the exterior of my home. I definitely recommend Troy!”

“Within 24 hours of my request for a bid, Troy was inspecting my job. The bid was reasonable; the work was performed timely, and the quality of work was excellent! The cleanup was thorough as well! I highly recommend Troy for any job you may have.” Firepit with sitting wall project

I would like to provide my highest recommendation for Troy Oliver and his company, Arete Construction Services. He is professional, prompt, trustworthy, polite and his work is perfection! He impressed me with his extensive knowledge of masonry, answered all my questions, provided an estimate and an invoice and completed the job exactly as scheduled. If you are in need a mason or a carpenter, look no further. Troy is the craftsman you want!

Troy with Arete Masonry did a fantastic job building our patio! We came to him with a budget, and a dream- he listened carefully to my ideas, to my color palettes and helped me envision the perfect patio within budget. The work was completed skillfully and quickly, about three weeks during cold weather, and the end result is beautiful! He puts a high measure onto making the patio sturdy as well as perfecting the look. I couldn’t be happier with Troy and his work, in fact we’re working with him on a second job now! Highly recommend!
