Our Process
Approachable, Understandable, and Tangible
Arena Custom Construction is a small residential design and construction firm formed by a close-knit group of contractors led by Architect and General Contractor Daniel Arena. Daniel's background is rooted in architecture having obtained his Master's Degree from Roger Williams University.
Having been unable to work directly for an architectural firm after graduating in 2009, Daniel decided to buttress his education by gaining experience in several other related trades and professions.
The friendly, family-style way that Daniel approaches his clients removes all fear and apprehension at the outset of any project.
Call or message us to start your project and begin your journey with Arena Custom Construction from permit to punchlist!
Our goal is to make building and remodeling seem far more approachable, understandable, and tangible.

Our History
Built on Trust, Communication, and Proven Results
He worked for an energy auditing company gaining insights on efficiency and green building techniques. He worked for a land surveyor and engineering firm learning how projects are defined in the field. He worked for a cabinet maker as well as a high-end kitchen and bathroom boutique — learning the finer details of kitchens and baths.
Although he eventually worked at a prestigious architectural firm in Southport, it was only once he worked for a well-known builder in the field that he discovered his true passion for the hands-on design/build approach.
Over the years, Daniel and his team have proven again and again that they can deliver projects on time and on budget — all while exceeding client expectations. Arena Custom Construction takes on all manner of projects and specializes in large-scale remodels and additions other builders shy away from.
All of our clients work with Daniel directly as the company's main point of contact — giving them unparalleled control and communication access throughout a project's duration.
How We Work
We Thoroughly Enjoy the Complexity of Renovations
From creating temporary kitchens to mapping out contractor accessibility, we go down to the smallest detail to make sure your renovation is done right.
Although ideal, we understand many of our clients do not have the luxury of living elsewhere during a renovation. We are very big on maintaining a neat and orderly jobsite — and we are big on dust prevention and foot traffic debris.
For us, it is the unspoken wishes of a client which are the most important, and this emphasis separates us from many run-of-the-mill contracting firms.
