We have completed 2 projects and are currently working on a third with Shane and the team. I cannot say enough about working with them and the quality of work! We could not be happier! Also we get so many compliments for each of our decks! Can’t wait for our bathroom remodel!!!

AKR came out to install a roof through Lowe's on 1-19-23 . After they left I looked ouside and had a lot of material left that had not been installed, 2 vents, and ridge vents. So I called them back to let them know about it and requested a call back which never happened, one of the roofers just showed up the next day with his wife and small child in the truck and ask what was wrong . I showed him what had not been done and he grunted,and put the stuff on that had been left off.Now 11 months later the shingles have waves in them like wind blown sand, nail pops everywhere and the boots that go around the vent pipes are installed backwards and not sealed and the underlayment was wadded up under the shingles per the roof inspector. I ask how to fix it, answer was full roof replacement .I would not recommend this company for any type of roof work.

AKR Builders built us a new TREX deck after a tree destroyed our deck. We looked at several companies and AKR stood out in the crowd. From the initial presentation by Shane who is honest, sincere, knowledgeable, respectful and responded to my endless questions.Amy handled the appointments, scheduling, billing and everything from start to finish. The communication and details helped two people with no experience with this type of project.The deck builders were professional, arrived at 8AM and left as the sun set. They did a superb job and we watched as the deck was built to our specifications. Chris managed the deck project and Shane (owner) stopped by to touch base on the progress of the project.We also hired AKR and GT Custom ( same owner) for other projects. The lines of communication were always open and our satisfaction was important to AKR. The quality of the products and the contractors for each project were phenomenal. Everyone was extremely pleasant and dedicated to doing a stellar job without shortcuts.In addition to the deck, we now have new windows, gutters, roof and doors along with a paint job. I highly recommend AKR for any project and we are saving for our next request.The quality of the job performed and the value can’t be beat. This company and all its employees shines like a beacon above the rest. Thank you for allowing us to be your customer. We love our deck and enjoying the time spent relaxing in the fresh air.

Just completed our first project with Akr . Shane was great to work with, and we love the porch! Highly recommend him, and will be using him again in the future.

Overall just an amazing experience working with Shane and his crew. They addressed every concern regarding the project. We extended our entire deck and converted our screened in porch into a Breeze room. The decking and the breeze room have added a great deal of enjoyment for my family. Most meals are now eaten on the new deck overlooking our yard. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who prefers high quality craftsmanship and expert knowledge regarding decking but especially the Trex Decking.Just asked the team to come back out and estimate putting on a pergola and a few other deck additions including a chimney addition to the porch.Wish I would have went with them when I originally built my house...do it right the first time.

Excellent Work on Home Office/Studio - AKR Builders did an excellent job on the front-end proposal process to the closing of making sure we were completely happy with the finished project before there was mutual agreement on final completion. During the beginning walk-though there were recommendations presented and discussed as greatly appreciated.When hiring contractors/builders it is critical to receive their expertise on what works and what they would not recommend within the scope of the project. It is highly important for homeowners to dive into upfront discussions on expectations for projects before signing off on proposals while also leaving room for unexpected weather or supply delays. We would use AKR Builders again for any other home project and do recommend. Donna F/High Point

Built a 10' x 15' pressure treated deck with rail Michael was our builder. Did a fabulous job. Very exact, prompt, communicative, polite and skilled. I'd be glad to have him again. Amy in the office was on top of scheduling and communications. All around great job from AKR.

My experience with AKR construction and Lowe's ProServices for my deck installation was the worst imaginable experience. AKR began our interactions by lying about filing the permit with the city (and only told the truth once we contacted the city and found out no permit was filed). Then the first attempt at building the deck was not only a completely different design than what we ordered and paid for, but it was also of extremely poor quality. Lowe's and AKR attempted to tell us the design change was due to the it being more structurally stable and we had to refuse to allow work to continue until they came out to see the work. Once they did, they agreed it was of extremely poor quality and had the deck torn off and started again. Then the finished product of the deck was not the dimensions we ordered and was not finished well (splinters and nails everywhere). They also ruined our brand new sod by driving a forklift on it and refused to fix it. If you are looking for a quality deck and customer service, I suggest you look elsewhere.

We have used AKR Builders for several projects in our home. They’ve installed a new roof, a new sunroom and remodeled a bathroom. They do exceptional work and are very professional. I would recommend them to anyone! We are saving for a project now and when we’re ready, we will certainly call AKR again.Service: Remodeling

This company is very disorganized they hire superintendents that have little or no construction expertise and don't have the labor force support their projects. They NEVER pay on time and this a reputation that they have on projects in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina by multiple subcontractors they hire. Look at reviews by others most are negative. Take a look at the picture I shared of their superintendent at the Dunkin Donuts job in Emporia VA. There is no way they could do a "stand up job" on that or any job with supervision being so laxed ( That guy in picture, in photos section laying down on the job, was a very nice young man but had never been in the construction business a day in his life before AKR hired him to manage their job.) To confirm see what the owner if Dunkin Donuts Mr. Patel posted as a review. ALL FACTS!

The roof They put on for me leaked. They came to repair it and used tar under my shingles. Some of it squished out from under that you can see. Tar is only good temporarily. This is a new roof patched with tar. This is their second attempt

We hired them to build a porch, and while some minor issues did pop up, they were very responsive and willing to fix them. Overall, we are very happy with the porch and would recommend them to others.
