About Us
Arete:- An ancient Greek philosophy that, in its most basic sense, refers to “excellence” of any kind—especially a person or thing’s “full realisation of potential or inherent function.”
Welcome to Arete Joinery, a local cabinet maker based in Northgate, Brisbane. Principally servicing Bulimba to Chermside in the North, Camp Hill to the South, Wynnum, and the Bayside to the East, and as far as Upper Kedron to the West, we also service as far as Ipswich and the Gold & Sunshine Coasts.
It is with the Arete philosophy in mind that we approach our work, with a steadfast commitment to delivering excellence in our service and our products. It is our goal to fully realise the potential of both our team and our processes.
We are known for our reliability, attention to detail, and high-end finishes but it is the long-standing relationships with many of our clients that we take most pride in.
Arete Joinery offers a seamless end-to-end solution for builders and developers wishing to bring their commercial joinery projects to fruition, our services from material selection, design consultancy, and drafting through to manufacturing and installation. Our principal focuses are architectural joinery, multi-residential joinery, and high-end single-dwelling fit-outs.
Our team has over 70 years combined experience in the cabinet-making industry and our people have diverse skillsets in cabinetmaking and shopfitting. We also pride ourselves on bringing the “next generation” through and are an employer of choice for apprentices looking to build a career as a cabinet maker.
At Arete Joinery we want you to be as confident in our workmanship as we are, which is why we offer a five (5) year warranty for your peace of mind. Contact the cabinet makers you can trust – Arete Joinery
What Our Clients Say
Fred and his team have been a joy to work with.
As a builder and developer of high end properties in the CBD, we need to know that not only will our product be of the highest quality, but also that it will arrive on time and go in first time.
Arete Joinery delivers in spades.
We have struggled to find a cabinet maker that has been able to meet our spec on high end projects and whilst also being capable of finding affordable solutions for our commercial multi-residential sites as well.
We found Arete joinery almost three years ago and we are on to our seventh project together. We can recommend them highly.
