Customer Feedback:
Kelley Painting & Waterproofing
“He painted our 3-story stucco apartment building, and he did a great job. We were really satisfied with the detail and care that he and his crew used to prep and clean up. He did what he said, and he did it well. I recommended him to a friend of mine, and she was very satisfied also. We’re going to have him back later in the year. Jim has a great staff of people that he’s been using for years, and I appreciate that. I feel very confident in referring him.”

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Structural
“We were very, very pleased with Live Oak. They replaced some rotted joists and leaking air vents for us. They were ahead of schedule, prompt in returning phone calls and coming out, and just really good to work with.”

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Structural
“They did some seismic retrofitting on my home, and they were outstanding. Being a woman dealing with contractors can sometimes be difficult. Live Oak listened, answered every question I had, and did excellent work. They were responsive, clean, patient, and professional. I have very high standards, and I really trust Live Oak.”

KDG Refacing
“They gave us a spectacular living room with a huge entertainment center, cabinets, and a bar with a wine fridge. Our friends come in here and their mouths just fall open. They have wonderful ideas, are honest, and are fine people. I feel like I’m living in a new house!”
