    I had AKM elite do work for me and I do not recommend him. He has excuse after excuse as to why things didnt get done. Asking for money before the job is done. He started ours in June and still has things that arent right and of course my husband being the nice guy he is, he paid him when he asked. Supposedly we were suppose to have 2 coats of paint. But old paint is showing through. I dont think he realized we have cameras all over our house. We had to have someone finish our cabinet doors because his sprayer wasnt working. The guy that finished them even said there is no way there was two coats of paint on the other cabinets. Its chipping already. I dont know how he is still in business after reading all the complaints. He is a scammer! Takes your money then goes on vacation or doesnt come back when he promises putting your job off for weeks. Dont trust him!!!!

    AKM Elite was hired to do the interior of our home - ceilings, walls, trim, baseboard, doors, minor wall repair, etc. ******** that showed up included an industrial painter and two young guys who had no painting experience. They worked 1.5 days and then we were told they wouldn't be back for several days because they had to go to another job. The work they did in 1.5 days was horrible. When we brought this to ******* attention, he told us we were wrong, said that's how prep work is supposed to be (wrong!), and that he would fix it to perfection. He admitted knowing that his one industrial-experienced painter told him the two young guys were doing poor work. Shortly thereafter, he sent a member of his crew to our home when we were not there to retrieve AKM's supplies and materials. This indicated he did not plan to finish the job. Yet, he will say we didn't give him a chance to finish the job and refused to refund our money. Take the money and run should be the company tagline. The owner, *****, also does not respond to letters sent to him regarding this situation. Note: I made a comment on AKM Elite's ******** page asking if they had more current reviews. They replied people often say they'll leave a review, but forget. He then offered to give me a quote. I replied I understood that people sometimes forget to leave a prompt review and that I had just posted my review from our experience with AKM Elite last spring. I also said I didn't need a quote, but would like the $10,000+ that he took from us and won't return. The entire post was then deleted withing seconds.

    If a judge decides ***** B owes me the down payment I gave to him in August for work to be done plus court costs and Interest . Then he also asked for more money after five months is that not a scammer.

    I am the owner of this company. We are currently being scammed. ***** hired us then canceled the Job the day before the start date. It was all a scam to get us to do the work and not pay us when were done. Be aware there is a lot of scams going around like this

    The actual painters that showed up did a good job of painting and clean up. I do not know how they work for the boss. However, the owner is a nightmare to deal with. He did not give us an estimate for what we were actually wanting done. Then we had multiple times when he was supposed to show up to do the work or to look at what needs done and then never showed up. He will give you multiple excuses and try to blame it on your not understanding what was going to happen. He does not fully read his texts and will try to blame it all on you. I will never deal with AKM Elite or Brock Burton again.
