How We Improve Homes

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

Massachusetts has expanded ADU opportunities, making it easier to add in-law suites, guest spaces, or rental units. We guide homeowners through zoning, design, and construction from start to finish.

Home Additions

From primary suites to over-garage expansions, our home additions are designed to feel original to the house while adding meaningful space for how you live today and plan for tomorrow.

Custom Homes

For homeowners building from the ground up, we offer full design-build services focused on long-term livability, quality craftsmanship, and thoughtful planning.

Kitchen Remodeling

We design kitchens that support daily routines, entertaining, and durability without sacrificing style, with a focus on functionality, craftsmanship, and details that enhance living.

Bathroom Remodeling

From spa-like primary baths to accessible layouts for aging in place, our bathrooms balance comfort, performance, and timeless design.

Basement Finishing

Finished basements add usable space without expanding your footprint, ideal for family rooms, gyms, guest areas, home offices, or creative studios.

Why Choose Akaza Builders?

Choosing a contractor is about more than craftsmanship.

It’s about trust, communication, and knowing your home is being handled with care. Akaza Builders was built to offer a better remodeling and building experience for homeowners who value clarity, planning, and long-term results.

Design-Build, One Team From Start to Finish

We operate as a true design-build firm. That means planning, design, permitting, construction, and coordination are handled by one organized team. You don’t have to manage multiple vendors or repeat yourself at every stage. One point of contact, one clear plan.

Clear Communication and Real Planning

Most remodeling stress comes from poor communication and unclear expectations. We prioritize upfront planning, defined scopes of work, and consistent updates throughout the project so you always know what’s happening and what comes next.

Transparent Pricing With No Surprises

We believe homeowners deserve honest numbers and realistic cost discussions. Our process is built around transparency, helping you understand budget ranges, options, and trade-offs early, so there are no financial surprises once construction begins.

Experience With Additions, ADUs, and Complex Projects

From home additions and accessory dwelling units to full remodels and custom homes, we specialize in projects that require coordination, permitting knowledge, and structural planning. Experience matters when the scope goes beyond cosmetic updates.

Respect for Your Home and Your Family

We work in lived-in homes every day. Our crews are trained to keep job sites organized, protect existing spaces, and minimize disruption whenever possible. Your home is not just a project site. It’s where your life happens.

We Stand Behind Our Work

Quality craftsmanship should last. That’s why we back our projects with a 2-year warranty, double the standard in the industry. We don’t rush jobs, and we don’t disappear after completion.

Transparent Costs.
Real Numbers.
No Guessing.

We share realistic cost ranges for additions, ADUs, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and design services so homeowners can plan early and avoid surprises later.

When Does a Home Addition or ADU Make Sense?
