Our Story

We Built This Company for People Like You.

Kemati started with a brush, a few hotel rooms, and the trust of a small hotel owner who saw something in our founder, Tiago Martins. What began as a temporary gig painting hotel walls became a calling—transforming properties with care, excellence, and a relentless work ethic.

Eight years later, Kemati is a specialized hospitality renovation and conversion company with 83 in-house team members, licensed in five states, and trusted by major hotel brands like Marriott, Hilton, and Sheraton.

We’ve proudly grown within the hospitality investor community—the people who gave us our start—and we honor that trust by delivering results that protect their time, investment, and reputation.

Our focus is simple: help hotel owners and investors turn tired properties into high-performing assets—on time, on budget, and without the stress that usually comes with renovations.

When you work with Kemati, you’re not hiring a general contractor. You’re partnering with a team that lives and breathes hospitality—and brings the crew, structure, and leadership to get the job done right.
