Specialties
At Akaza Builders, we specialize in working with homeowners who want their remodel done with care, intention, and lasting quality. We do not take on investor, flip, or low-budget rush projects. Our best work happens when clients value thoughtful design, skilled craftsmanship, and a realistic timeline.
We focus on kitchens, bathrooms, basements, home additions, and ADUs, and guide each project from planning and design through permitting and final inspection. Our team takes pride in a steady, professional process where communication is clear, details are respected, and the finished work feels solid for years.
If you’re a homeowner looking for a reliable, detail-driven crew and a remodel done the right way, that’s exactly what we specialize in.
History
Established in 2021.
Akaza Builders began in 2021 as Octopus House Solutions, founded by Andre Neves with a mission to bring honesty, reliability, and clear communication to the remodeling world. What started as a one-man operation has grown into a trusted design-build contractor serving homeowners across Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
We specialize in home additions, kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, basement finishing, decks, patios, and full general contracting. Our team manages every step, including design, permits, project planning, and construction, so the experience stays organized and stress-free.
Homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, clean job sites, and quality craftsmanship. Whether you need more space, a better layout, or a full transformation, we build with care and make the process smooth from start to finish. At Akaza Builders, your home project is handled with the same attention we’d give our own.
Meet the Business Owner: Andre N.
Andre Neves grew up in Brazil with construction in his blood. His father was a general contractor, and Andre spent his early years working in the field and learning the trades hands-on. When Covid arrived, it became the push he needed to start his own company after seeing how many homeowners dealt with contractors who did not call back, were not honest, or cared only about money.
Andre created Akaza Builders to be the opposite. He is easygoing, honest, and straightforward, and he believes strong communication and problem solving are the heart of every good project. He loves the building phase because it is fast, full of energy, and truly rewarding.
He leads Akaza with three core values: integrity, people first, and innovation. Andre is proud of the team that goes above and beyond on every project and understands that a home is a homeowner’s most important investment. When he is not working, he enjoys playing soccer and spending time with his son, Gabriel.
