The same room, finished properly. Painting, renovation and restoration across Toronto and the GTA, run by the owner from the first quote to the last coat.

Athens Style Renovation

We paint, repair and rebuildthe rooms people live and work in.

Houses, condos, shops and offices across the GTA. Interior and exterior painting, kitchens and bathrooms, plaster and trim repair, and projects that need several trades.

The owner quotes every job and is on site while it’s done. We take fewer projects at a time so that stays true.
