Who We Are

Built to be the opposite of the contractor horror story

JAVT Enterprises is Calgary’s multi-trade renovation partner. We exist to change what homeowners expect from a contractor: reliability, clear communication, and quality work as the standard, not the exception.

Our Story

One team, born from two trades

Arick Teplikov founded AVT Painting in 2011. Jonathan Jennings ran 3J Painting. In 2022 they merged the two companies into JAVT Enterprises, combining their expertise across painting, drywall, flooring, carpentry, and renovation management into a single company.

In 2023 both founders stepped off the tools to run JAVT as a real business - with structure, a dedicated project manager, and handpicked, character-vetted supervisors. Their combined 15+ years of hands-on trade experience means they can scope projects accurately, judge quality, and communicate with their crews in the language of the trade.

The result for clients: one point of contact, one team, and one standard of quality across every trade, with a founder personally inspecting the work before the final invoice.

What We Stand For

Our values

01

Integrity

We do what we say. We communicate honestly about timelines, costs, and scope. This is the non-negotiable.

02

Client Satisfaction

A job is not complete until the client is satisfied. A founder confirms quality before final payment.

03

Professionalism

Off the tools since 2023, with project managers and handpicked client-facing supervisors. A company, not a crew.

04

Reliability

Timelines are commitments, not estimates. In an industry of no-shows, showing up is our advantage.
