Wooden Window
“It’s refreshing to know that such excellent service still exists! Our new wood windows look beautiful, and fit perfectly. The crew was wonderful, and they completed more than a month earlier than promised. These windows have significantly enhanced the appearance and value of our home.”

Customer Feedback:
David Zaidman Painting
“He painted the outside out my house and is almost done painting the inside. What I really like about his work is the quality. He also shows up when he says he will, his crew is intelligent, and his prices are very reasonable. I’d highly recommend him.”

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:
Anderberg Construction Consulting
“He came out and consulted on how to take care of the drainage problem in my basement. He drew sketches, explained everything in laymen’s terms, and gave me suggestions of three contractors to contact who could do the work I needed done. His service was very comprehensive.”
