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.”

Customer Feedback:
Thomas Mulliken Painting Contractor
“Tom did my kitchen cabinets, which turned out gorgeous, and my entertainment center to match. He also painted the whole exterior of my house. It was beyond my expectations. They are tidy, friendly, and helpful. I’ve never had such a good experience. He was worth every penny!”
