Meet the founder

Eric J. Diloné

Managing Director, ATHENA Renovations

Renovation should not feel like handing your home over to strangers and hoping for the best.

My approach with ATHENA is to give clients one team that can look at a project from multiple angles — construction, design, functionality and property value.

Whether we’re renovating a homeowner’s kitchen, repositioning an investment property or improving a commercial space, our goal is the same: understand what the client is trying to accomplish, develop a sensible plan, communicate clearly and deliver work we’re proud to put our name on.

Client testimonials

What our clients say.

★★★★★

“Athena handled a full kitchen renovation at my rental property, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. They completed everything incredibly fast, finishing in less than a week, and the final product actually looked better than the original design mockups. The workmanship was excellent, communication was smooth, and they stayed on budget. Very impressive experience overall.”

— Felix D. · Investor, kitchen renovation

★★★★★

“We had our Hoboken condo fully renovated by Athena, and they were outstanding from beginning to end. Eric put together a smart design plan with clear pricing, and the entire process felt organized and professional. They took care of permits, inspections, and every detail along the way. Since I travel often for work, I especially appreciated the weekly progress photos and updates. The condo came out beautifully, and I always felt the project was in capable hands.”

— Maria C. · Condo owner, Hoboken

★★★★★

“Our basement used to be dark, damp, and basically unusable. Athena completely transformed it into one of the best spaces in our home. They installed a French drain system, moisture protection, lowered the floor for extra ceiling height, poured new concrete, added tile, walls, lighting, electrical, and even built a custom Japanese tatami platform. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the difference is night and day. We’ll definitely be using them again.”
