“I am a residential designer and a licensed General Contractor and have used Live Oak Structural on 5 different projects over a period of 4 years. I have always been pleased with the quality of work, their time management and their professionalism. Their bids for work have consistently been less than other structural repair companies which I attribute to the efficiency of their work force and the extensive experience they have in this field. I also appreciate the "Can-do" attitude of Will, Live Oak Stuctural's Project Manager. Will takes time to assess each situation carefully and often presents alternative, and usually more affordable, solutions. Change orders, while few in number, have always been drafted in a timely manner so that there are no "surprise" costs at the end. I never hesitate to use Live Oak Structural on my projects or recommend them to my clients or friends.”

“I was more than happy with them. They replaced part of our foundation, and they were clean, on time, their crew was great and there were absolutely no problems. What more can I say?”

“I was so impressed with their knowledge about decks and foundations. They caught something that the original designer of the house missed, and added some support beams under our deck that serve as part of the foundation. They were responsive and I was very happy with them.”

“I love them! They’ve done work for my mother, my uncle, and on two of my projects. I’m an architect, and they do things right. Will is a ‘can do’ kinda guy, and their work is always top of the line. Their workers are very respectful, and the communication between the crew and the office is great.”

“The terrific staff of Live Oak Structural has provided us, for 20 years, with service and workmanship that are nonpareil. We recommend them without qualification. When work needed to be done beyond the scope of Live Oak Structural's area of expertise their referrals were always of the highest professional caliber.”

“Live Oak came and did work on my house when I was about to buy it in August 2006. The contractor, Will, pointed out that we needed more support in our basement as they had removed structural supports. He also did a very thorough examination of the house and was informative and helpful in explaining everything that was going on in the house, what I needed to fix, what could wait, and how these things would affect the price of the house in the future. It was my first house and I was worried and nervous and he made me feel that everything would be alright. They ended up replacing supports in my basement and did the work while I was out of the house, were very professional and kept the area clean. I have also read multiple positive reviews on Berkeley Parents Network. They have come out since then to do a pest control inspection and I wouldn't use anyone else!”

“This company really saved us a lot of money when they rebuilt our deck and replaced a leaky kitchen window. They were more affordable than the other 3 contractors that bid on the job and not only that, but they were very easy to get a hold of and ask questions about my house along the way. I will call them again when I'm ready to fix our foundation!”

“Live Oak Structural was very professional. They were on time and completed the deck beautifully. All the boards were perfectly straight and the site was thoroughly cleaned. We were very happy with the work and would recommend them without a doubt!"

"Never before have I encountered such a responsible, caring and competent team of amazingly-considerate individuals, or known the relief to be experienced when one has full confidence in the people responsible for carrying out a major retrofitting job. A labor-intensive, enormous undertaking went smoothly, and all necessary consultations took place either as situation called for or procedurally. When one may trust to 100% reliance in a company that is fair in all respects, one is lucky indeed. This has been my experience: genuine care, full responsibility, excellent communication.”
