Definition Of Metanoia

Metanoia means a change of heart, and it's the idea behind everything we build. We're a family-run, woman-owned company out of Batavia, where the same crew that meets you carries your project from first conversation to final reveal. Painting and remodeling across the Tri-Cities, held to one standard and built to stand behind for decades.

At Metanoia, we take a hands-on approach. Whether we're framing a wall or walking a homeowner through finishes, it's this shared process, one crew, one standard, one point of accountability, that lets us build work you'll stand behind for decades.

Our Ethos

Metanoia means a change of heart, and that's how we approach every build. We start by listening to how you live, cook, and gather, then plan carefully so the work solves the real problems of daily life. The result is craftsmanship that's honest, durable, and finished to a standard you can feel the moment you walk in.

Meet Your Team

Metanoia is a family-run, built in Batavia and run by the people who show up on your job. Alfonso and Mirella Aca own and lead it; the same estimators, coordinators, and crew you meet here are the ones who walk your home, price it honestly, and carry it from first conversation to final reveal. No rotating subcontractors, no handoffs, one team, start to finish, treating your home the way we'd treat our own.
