I have worked with Patrick & Thomas with Live Oak on both personal and rental investment projects. Throughout the pre-construction, construction & post-construction process, there was a consistently high level of transparency & communication which met and exceeded expectations. Thomas was very honest about the cost and quality of items which resulted in a very pleasing building experience. When anyone asks who to use as a builder in the Walton county area, Live Oak Homes will always be my first recommendation.

I’ve used Live Oak for the last three homes I have built-in Point Washington. I’ve found them to be very attentive to details and build within budget and on time. I highly recommend Thomas & Patrick!

It was a pleasure to work with Live Oak Builders. They were recommended to us by a friend and we would definitely recommend them to everyone. Thomas is professional and honest. He is an excellent communicator, we spoke almost daily and were very involved in the construction process and decisions. He is very organized; he provided weekly financial accounting information and did an amazing job scheduling the subcontractors and ordering of materials. We’ve watched other houses under construction go for weeks with no activity, which did not happen during our house construction. Live Oak has a lot of experience and knowledge, one item I really appreciated was that our house was completely “dried in” before any interior work was done. I do not see that happening with other builders. Every construction project has things that go wrong and Thomas held his subcontractors accountable and worked to remedy every issue. The job site was relatively clean and they even worked with our neighbors’ concerns. Patrick took over near the end of construction and ensured that all the small details were up to our expectations. We are grateful to have worked with Live Oak Builders and we are in love with our home.

We are so glad that we entrusted Live Oak Homes and Development to build our Dream Home. As we finished our build, friends would ask us how it went. When we told them that we had absolutely no problems, not even once, they were shocked. Thomas and Patrick went above and beyond ensuring that our home was top quality and met every single one of our wishes.  We cannot say enough about Live Oak Homes and we would let them build another home for us in a heartbeat!

I hope you are doing well.  I still check out your Facebook page sometimes.  Looks like you guys are really doing some outstanding work! I could have written a few pages about our building experience with you, but compressed it to the following…

Live Oak Homes & Development were great to work with throughout the entire process of constructing our new home.

Since we lived 300 miles away during the building process, Thomas and Pat kept us constantly updated with text messages, telephone calls, videos, and pictures.  They met us onsite to walk through the completed work and to discuss upcoming steps.

They provided us with great selections on windows, doors, countertops, etc, and allowed us sufficient time to explore our options and make decisions.   They also listened to our needs and were attentive to changes and requests that we made during construction.

The quality of their work and their attention to the details was outstanding.  Live Oak completed our home on schedule and within our budget.

We could not have expected a better or more fun home building experience.  We are so thankful to Live Oak Home & Development for building our forever home.

Live Oak Development takes pride in their projects, goes the extra mile, and knows how to keep a project moving and get it finished!

There aren’t enough good things we can say about our experience with Live Oak Homes. We’ve been in our home for two and a half years and we still love it. Their communication was fantastic, all of our phone calls, texts and emails were answered or returned in a timely manner. They answered any questions regarding our budget, the general timeline, subcontractor scheduling, etc, that we had before, during, and after our build.

I would also like to add that they communicated with me well instead of asking for my husband. This small showing of respect meant a lot and went a long way for me personally.

They offered their opinions when needed for the tougher decisions but were never pushy or overstepped any boundaries. If you went against their opinion they respected your decision.

We were kept up to date with everything going on with our build. These men went above and beyond the minimum standard through each step of the building process.

Their attention to detail was phenomenal. We had very few things to “blue tape.” At the end of the build process, most of the taped areas came from the job site foreman. He combed our new home and searched for any minor aesthetic ding, scratch, or nick and then repaired almost all of them by himself.

We’ve recommended them to all our friends. People are always shocked when we talk about being happy with our whole building process.

Patrick, Thomas and the crew of Live Oak Homes & Development did a fantastic job with our custom home. We chose many challenging options that were no issues for them. They worked with all our selections and added relevant feedback to make it come to life.  They were in constant contact to ensure all options were chosen on time to keep the build moving as scheduled. Any issues that came along were handled with professionalism and promptness. I would highly recommend Live Oak Homes & Development.

We had the pleasure of building our dream home with Thomas and Patrick last year, which was incredible. From start to finish every detail was well thought out and planned. Communication is key for me, especially when building a home, and Thomas always answered my questions immediately. You can tell they both care about their clients and the houses they build. The quality is superb and they helped guide us along the way to make sure we stayed within our budget. We are so happy in our house and would highly recommend Live Oak Homes.

I met with Thomas in 2020 to discuss building our custom home after releasing a builder who did not work out.

First impressions are everything and Live Oaks definitely nailed it. I am all about communications and keeping an open dialogue and throughout the entire development and build process Live Oak did a fantastic job. When building a custom home there are always challenges and we had a few but not due to workmanship but the home lot we were building on which is located on Choctawhatchee Bay. Thomas and the team worked with us and came up with different options to make sure whichever option we chose, the foundation and structure will be solid.

After the job was completed, Live Oaks remained in contact and followed up on small items we found.

We love the home Live Oaks built for us and I highly recommend them for your projects I would use them again.
