Spark Construction
“They did a complete bathroom remodel for us. There were no surprises. They respected our strong design sense, and can design and implement the work so you don’t have to deal with many independent contractors.“

Fine Line Renovations
“They finished our front porch and our backyard deck from top to bottom. I thought that the price was exceptionally reasonable for the amount of work that had to be done. Very honest and straight forward. Our deck is now beautiful!”

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.”

“Over the years, I’ve had them do both small and large projects on my home— from major structural and stone repair, to rebuilding retaining walls, doing interior drywall and painting. They are very competent, their pricing is fair, and they always finish on schedule.“
