Brandon Akridge is a SCAMMER. I prepaid him $2600 for 3 home improvement projects for my family on good faith, & he did only $700 worth of work and "GHOSTS" me for jobs he abandoned. NEVER PREPAY THIS GUY !!!! The following photos are what he left incomplete at my elderly parents' home. Brandon also had another fake company called "Akridge Renovations" when he was living in West Hollywood CA before he got ran out of town. Look it up here in Yelp, & you will see all kinds of BAD REVIEWS. read more

Hired this company for many repairs my house needed and it's the best service I have found! They are very professional and on time and also very knowledgeable. Not only they help with all my problems but they also help me solve them all. If you are looking for a handyman who can do multiple jobs, I highly recommend this company. read more

Takes your money and then comes up with every excuse in the book as to why he won't complete the work. Total scam artist. Go elsewhere

More like NO HONEY NO! I moved into my home in March and quickly found Brandon on social media applications advertising his services. I had a laundry list of things I needed and wanted done, as well as wanting to maximize what I was getting done for the money because funds were tight since I had just settled on my home. The first couple of tasks were done reasonably quickly and during those first couple of visits, we got to talking and I really respected Brandon and his story. I was excited at the prospect of getting to know him better and his completion of the tasks we had outlined. One major item was relocation of the backyard fence from the entry of the back yard to a new entry point at the front of the house. This way there was to be no confusion with neighbors and their dogs what was community property and what wasn't. But after the fence was torn down Brandon never showed back up! That was in April. I told myself I was not going to go public with how horrible I have been treated for six months and I have logged COUTLESS phone calls asking for a face to face meeting simply to run through all this man now owes me. You see I was STUPID! After he saw the SUCKER tattoed on my forehead, he not only got me to offer full contract balance up front, he borrowed an additional $1k+ due to hardships he was having and I was assured I would be reimbursed at the "end of the month" because he was simply running short. When I tell you the guy was hurtin' from a whole string of bad luck, he was! But now I don't even know if any of the BS he told me was even true. The only excuse I wasn't given for him not returning to do what he was contracted to do was that his dog ate his homework! From a death in the family, to friend wrecking his truck to the stolen tools, I tried to remain compassionate. But this guy is simply too busy to even man up and come sit down to go over all that I am out from the simple cash he owes me that he borrowed, but I had to pay hourly rates TRIPLE what he had charged me to get an emergency contractor in to rebuild my fence because he simply blew me off. I called and explained that the HOA was demanding it be completed in 3 days for it looked like shit with the lumber just thrown on the yard. He could have cared less. In addition to the above, every time he came to work, on the couple of tasks he started, he never cleaned up before walking out. This was work in my bedroom, in my stairwell, and kitchen. Three parts of my home I use every day. Normal contractors would clean up after themselves. I would never have even mentioned this but it gets at the whole pattern while working and attitude this young man took after he got the money he could from me, he was DONE! My phone calls have not been returned, he never has even followed up on any of this. When I would call and patiently explain how I simply wanted to sit him down to show him the work that was completed which was supposed to be his work, he blew it off! Then I wanted to show him the invoices for the work done and what I was out thanks to him. All I heard back were crickets.... I thought Brandon was a man of his word, a man of integrity... But for me, all he is is a good story teller (I don't know if anything he shared was fact or fiction) a con man, and a coward who can't come and explain himself face to face with the guy he WILLINGLY took money from, but has taken no effort to pay back. Brandon, this all could have ended with a good rating and a glowing write up as a result of how you handled yourself after all of your "unfortunate" incidents, but instead you decided to just ignore me, I am thinking, hoping I would just go away. This review pains me to write, but going six months to not even TRY to make things right is deplorable. To scam someone in your own community has got to be one of the most reprehensible things anyone can do where they are trying to make a living, trying to get started, and naïve to the process for they are new in town and literally knew no one. A prospective client needs to have a level of trust and confidence and with this job alone I think you have shown that you are deserving of neither. Run don't walk from this smooth talker. I think he knows what he's doing but you will be lucky to get him to finish. read more

Brandon has done many projects for me at my laundries and re-finished my kitchen cabinets at home as a surprise wedding gift to my husband. He is upfront with pricing, reasonable and very honest. Refreshing to work with an honest handyman. read more

Had Brandon come out to install some TVs.. He was prompt and communication was great. Hung the tvs and i even paid extra bc of the worked they did. We were not able to hang one of the tv's due to frame work behind the wall. He would have to return another time. At a later date we organised for the tv to be hung. Expecting him to arrive he was a no show. I called and sent multiple messages and never received a response. I was trying to be patient but lack of communication and courtesy to return a call if service cant be rendered is just proper business etiquette. I will not be using there service. Again. read more

So thankful for Brandon! He's so sweet, fast, and produces high quality work!! Next time I need something done, he's first on my list!!

Brandon, would ya? YES he will and he does it with aplomb, with honesty, with professionalism, with transparency and with assuredness. I confess that I know little to nothing about home repairs. One may think that making that fact known to someone in Brandon's profession would mean that I might as well just open my wallet to him and pay premium rates for mediocre work by someone who clearly knows he can take advantage of a customer who admits to knowing little about the work needed. Brandon is far from that philosophy. He has integrity and is totally candid about what is needed and the price it is going to cost to have it done. He will even shop so that the customer is not paying premium prices unless the customer insists on doing so. Unlike most in his field, Brandon is not looking to amass fortunes. He is looking to garner a reputation which reflects honesty and professionalism. He is prompt, returns calls in a timely fashion, guarantees his work and follows up to make sure that the customer is pleased with his work. I will never consider anyone other than Brandon for home repairs. I would be foolish to do so. He has replaced faucet fixtures, installed lighting, repaired an arm chair and replaced plumbing. I am making a list of additional repairs needed and know that I better call him now before he gets too busy in the market. read more
