Our Story

Spaces you’ll love, for years to come

In 2021, we launched as Octopus House Solutions, built on a simple yet powerful idea: bringing honesty, reliability, and a personal touch to an industry that often leaves homeowners feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. What started as a one-man operation by Andre Neves has since grown into Akaza Builders, a trusted design-build firm known for quality, commitment and satisfied clients. Over the years, we’ve expanded not just in size, but in experience—learning from every project and homeowner we’ve worked with.

At Akaza Builders, we believe every home has a story—and we’re here to help you write yours. Whether it’s upgrading a kitchen for better family gatherings or expanding a space to fit your growing needs, we’re passionate about making homes more beautiful and functional for our clients.

Driven by a commitment to excellence and a dedication to customer satisfaction, we have steadily grown over the years, expanding our team and capabilities. Every project we undertake is infused with creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, ensuring that each client’s vision is brought to life with precision and care.

★★★★★
Over all we had a great experience with Octopus Home Solutions and are very happy with the outcome of the second phase of our attic renovation. We hired Octopus to install a dormered bathroom in our attic with a stand up shower. Although the project took a little longer than we initially expected and there were some things that needed to be redone, we kind of expected to hit some road blocks since this wasn’t our first renovation. Having worked with other companies in the past I will say that Andre is a top notch GC. He has a high standard and would come to check in on the work and progress often. You could tell that he genuinely cares about his clients being happy with the end result which is a trait we very much appreciated. The team was also flexible with timing since we have a toddler we asked that the work not start for the day until he was off to daycare. Andre and his team fully executed our vision, his rate was fair and there were no surprise costs upon completion. We would recommend hiring this team and we we’ll definitely be reaching out to Andre for future updates to our home!

I have had an outstanding bathroom remodeling experience. I recently hired Andre to remodel 2 bathrooms and a half bathroom in my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, his team was professional, attentive, and dedicated to delivering high-quality work. The craftsmanship was exceptional, with every detail carefully executed. They listened to my ideas and provided valuable suggestions, ensuring the final design met my vision perfectly. The project was completed on time and within budget, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Andre and his team to anyone looking for reliable and skilled professionals for their remodeling projects. Thank you for transforming my bathrooms into beautiful functional spaces.

Andre and his team were fabulous from start to finish. I had uneven floors and vinyl blank in my upstairs. The team removed down to the studs, rebuilt and evened the floor and installed beautiful pine flooring. It was a complicated project, but, Andre kept me informed throughout the work which was completed on budget and within the contract timeframe. I added a bunch of smaller projects to the scope as well. I am thrilled with the results. One small story: On the last day of work I got new ceiling lights delivered and the team offered to install them for me. Great service, great team, I highly recommend Andre and his team.
