Beyond The Surface

Beyond The Surface

The People, Culture, and Purpose Behind Every Project

At Athena Surfaces, what we build is only part of the story. Behind every countertop and installation is a team of real people who care deeply about quality, community, and the culture we’re building together. This page offers a glimpse beyond the materials – into the heart of who we are and what we stand for.
Core Values in Action

Living What We Believe

Culture isn’t just a talking point here – it’s the way we operate. Our values guide how we show up, make decisions, and work together every single day.

People First

We care for our team and our clients like family. That means listening, showing up, and making sure no one goes it alone.

“The team here always has each other’s back. That matters more than anything.”

Ownership

We lead by example. Everyone at Athena takes responsibility for their role and works together to find solutions, not excuses.

“If something’s not right, we don’t pass the buck — we make it right.”

Joy in the Journey

We believe the best work happens when we make space to enjoy it. From laughter in the shop to high-fives on install day, we keep things light without lowering our standards.

“It’s a serious job, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.”

Culture Above Everything

We invest in our people, because culture is what drives everything else. Whether it’s hosting a cookout or helping a teammate move, we’re building something that goes beyond the job.

“It doesn’t feel like clocking in. It feels like being part of something.”

Relentless Improvement

We’re always learning, always growing. Good enough isn’t good enough — we push ourselves to be better every day, in every detail.

“We’re not afraid of feedback here. We actually welcome it.”

Giving Back to the Community

Rooted in the Places We Call Home

We’re committed to making life better, both inside and outside the workplace. From local sponsorships to hands-on volunteering, Athena supports the people and places that support us. This is part of our culture of intentional investment – and it’s something we’re proud to grow year after year.

Building Something Greater

More Than Just Business

When you choose Athena Surfaces, you’re not just getting a countertop. You’re supporting a company that believes business can be a force for good. Every surface we install represents:

Fair wages and growth opportunities for local families

Investment in the next generation of craftspeople

Support for community organizations making a difference

A commitment to doing business the right way

We measure success not just in square feet installed, but in lives improved and relationships built.
