Steve Mataija is a Toronto-based contractor and artisan. His firm, Steve's Jobs, specializes in small to mid-scale renovations and redecorating projects. Steve is a specialist in carpentry, tiling and decorative paint finishes (murals, frescoes, venetian plasters and various paint effects). 

​

Steve's work in the construction industry began when he was completing his post-secondary education in the 1990s. He worked with a general contractor for six years learning everything from laying brick and stone to tiling, flooring, painting, plumbing and installation projects (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms, basement renos). Steve found that he had a particular affinity for "up cycling" furniture and decorative paint finishes (including cabinet spraying). He continued to upgrade his skills, working for clients on a part-time basis but soon found he had a thriving full-time business. Villa Norse Artistry is the company through which he undertakes his decorative paint, art and furniture-related projects. 

​

Through his "Art for a Good Cause" initiative, Steve donates a portion of proceeds from sale of his work to registered Canadian charities that help people or rescued dogs.
