Exterior Trim Repair
Enrique was very professional. He showed up on time to give me an estimate. He wrote up the estimate itemizing all the work to be done. We agreed on a price. He arrived as promised & got the job done earlier than he had estimated. He took photos as requested so I can present them to my HOA. The job was painting trim on the exterior— his team prepared the areas for painting, gave the trim 2 coats and did more areas than I needed one for my HOA. We had agreed on what needed to be done. I am pleased with the results.

Wood Stairs and Railings Installation and Replacement
$3,875
Enrique of Live Oak General Builder Inc was very responsive from first call to last. I needed my carpeted "floating" stairs enclosed so a flooring company could install LVP (luxury vinyl planks) like those recent installed in my living room. See before photos. I also wanted the backside of the stairs enclosed with drywall for a very finished look. They did a very clean and professional job at a reasonable price. I am very happy with the finished look! the after photos are prior to the LVP installation.

Enrique was TERRIFIC CONTRACTOR! A great communicator, he and his excellent crew worked all day, gave daily schedule and encouraged visual tour end of shift, very organized with materials, tools, and kept our property clean, very cooperative and polite and knowledgeable. New Door: beautiful white steel door installed so smoothly. Exterior house trim: Enrique also replaced dry rotted exterior trim on my 2 story home, painted new trim, sealed other places as needed around home so I can paint house exterior. Enrique and crew put up new side fence in half day that will last a lifetime Enrique is a fine example of professionalism.

Enrique and his crew were here bright and early every single day and worked, worked, worked. We only saw them break for lunch. They arrive between 7:30-8:00 and didnâ t leave until 3:30-4:00. Enrique was very accommodating with our requests and changes. Weâ ve had at least 5-7 quotes from different contractors and Live Oak Generalâ s bid came at a reasonable price. We LOVE our new deck!!

We had a really good experience with Enrique and his crew. They showed up when they said they would. They accommodated our schedules. They worked quietly and efficiently -- no loud music or long breaks. Communication was easy: Enrique listened and usually said yes to our requests. And last, but not least, our new deck looks beautiful.

Enrique made me feel at ease the moment I met him. He brought a calm and knowledgeable presence to the task of replacing our large deck, and I am glad to say that this thoughtful communication remained steady throughout the project. He and his crew were detail oriented, friendly and professional. He got the job done quickly and efficiently, not to mention beautifully and at a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to hire this team again, and recommend Live Oak to anyone wanting deck work. It looks better than I would have even imagined, and I am so happy to be using our new deck!
