About Akaza

What Does Akaza Mean?

At Akaza, everything begins with A Casa, the Portuguese phrase for “The House.” This name is a reflection of our Brazilian heritage and our deep connection to the concept of home. It’s more than just a structure—it’s where life happens, memories are made, and dreams take shape.

Our recent name change and rebranding symbolize our growth as a company. What started as a one-man operation has evolved into a trusted design-and-build firm serving Massachusetts and Rhode Island. With expanded services, a commitment to exceptional client relationships, and a focus on innovative solutions, we needed a name that truly represents who we are today.

Akaza honors our roots while seamlessly connecting with our clients here in New England, combining a sense of warmth, expertise, and trust. Every home tells a story, and we’re here to help you write yours.

New Name & Face, Same Core Values

While our name and look have changed, the values that guide us remain the same. At Akaza, we’re built on a foundation of integrity, people first, and innovation.

Integrity:

We believe in honest communication, transparent processes, and delivering on our promises. Trust is at the heart of everything we do.

People First:

Our clients are more than just projects—they’re partners. We take the time to understand your needs, ensuring that every decision is made with your vision and satisfaction in mind.

Innovation:

We’re always looking for new ways to bring creativity and efficiency to our work, ensuring each project is unique, functional, and tailored to your lifestyle.

About Us

With years of experience in the industry, we are committed to delivering exceptional results that exceed our clients’ expectations.

In 2021, Akaza began as Octopus House Solutions, founded by Andre Neves with a simple mission: to bring honesty, reliability, and a personal touch to an industry that often leaves homeowners feeling overwhelmed. What started as a one-man operation with a vision has grown into a trusted design-build firm serving communities across Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

At Akaza, we know your home isn’t just a structure—it’s where life happens. Every project we take on is a vision, a dream, a space meant to make everyday moments even better. That’s why we focus not just on delivering exceptional craftsmanship, but on making the entire experience organized, transparent, and stress-free. We handle every detail—from securing permits to the final finishes—so you can focus on the excitement of bringing your project to life.

We take pride in being the contractor you can trust to get the job done right, on time, and within budget. Whether you’re building from the ground up, adding more space, or renovating a kitchen or bathroom, we’re here to listen, guide, and build a home that truly fits your life.

When you choose Akaza, you’re not just hiring a contractor—you’re gaining a team that cares about your home as much as you do. Every project tells a story, and we’d be honored to help you write yours.
