Todd Bradley, Lisa Simmons and their crews build a quality house. We are very happy with how our house was built back in June of 2016. We all have some issues along the way, but Todd was thorough, empathetic and easy to work with to resolve each and every concern in a timely and professional way. Even a few that were out of warranty. I would highly recommend them.

I give Live Oak my highest recommendation. Deciding to build a house was a huge decision for us as we have always purchased previously built houses. We interviewed five possible home builders. We talked with a lot of trusted friends in our community, and checked various online sites and public records, to gather as much information on each as we could. My assessment of Live Oak Builders and Todd Bradley never changed, from the first time I met him to the present, at more than six months after completion of our build. In my opinion, Live Oak Builders is the best builder we could hope for. Everyone there listed to our needs, wants, and desires. They steered us away from unneeded expense and at other times counseled us to spend money in certain areas - and we are glad we listened. Various decision-points came up during the build and these folks were there to advise us and ensure that our decisions were carried out. Of course, on turn-over day there were items that needed to be addressed. Live Oak has responded quickly to address every single concern we have raised. We have not had to “chase them around” to get resolution and often they followed-up with me before I followed-up with them. I admit to being a difficult person to do business with and I have been consistently impressed with Live Oak in terms of how quickly they respond, and with the nature of their response.

They were always there to answer any of our questions. We thought that building our house living 400 miles away, was going to create a lot of tension, but everything went smoothly and we were at ease knowing that we hired the best builder to do the best work for our needs.
Our house is amazing!
Thank you, everyone at Live Oak Builders!

Comment from Live Oak Builders:
Thanks Lori! We are happy we could ease some of the anxiety of building your home. It is important to us to keep non-local clients involved in the process.

We interviewed several prominent builders to construct our dream home in the South Carolina Low Country - selecting Live Oak Builders was a no-brainer. Living hundreds of miles away from the site was supposed to be a major hassle but Todd and his team managed the entire project flawlessly, keeping us informed with weekly status and progress pictures. Other than Mother Nature's (Hurricane Matthew) impact, the project was delivered according to schedule beyond our expectations. Once the home was delivered, Live Oaks made sure every item no matter how big or small was resolved - wanting 100% customer satisfaction.
We highly recommend Live Oaks for their professionalism, quality and attention to detail.

Both my wife and I want to thank you (and Lisa) again for another timely and professional job. Your people were always prompt in responding to our needs and timely in completing their work. Thanks again and as before if the need arises for more work on our house, you will be the first person we call.

Live Oak did an excellent job of building our additionn as well as major revovations to the existing structure. Todd Bradley is very good at creative ideas and solutions to the issues that occur when doing a custom construction job. Live Oak employs an excellent staff. Lisa Simmons for one is very organized and has a good sense of style which we found very helpful while trying to make so many choices. Todd is very selective when choosing subcontractors. We found all of them to be honest, considerate and competent. Some of his subs were stellar. if you plan to build in the Beaufort, SC area, you should sit down and talk to Live Oak. I think you will be impressed.

Todd Bradley of Live Oak Builders updated and remodeled our guest bathroom. He and his staff did an outstanding job and also came up with very creative ideas. His crews were very respectful and always made sure the job was completed to our satisfaction. They always left the job site in immaculate condition. We are so pleased we are working with them on a remodel of our master bath. Five stars and kudos to Todd, his staff and Live Oak Builders.

"A new custom built home requires a myriad of decisions to be made. Even if you think you know exactly what you want, the level of details can be overwhelming. Todd and his staff help you simplify the process. They make sure you do think of everything in order to give you the new home you want. The Live Oak crew provided us the quality and professionalism that are so important. His subcontractors were easy to work with and Todd always made sure we were satisfied with the end product. He completed our home on time as promised. Todd’s commitment to satisfaction extended past the move in day. His crew did not stop their help to us until the punch list was complete."

Todd and his team recently renovated our home, and we couldn't be more pleased. We had some areas that required thought, and Todd had just the right ideas. His team is highly professional and a pleasure to work with. Most of the project was done while we were in Australia and New Zealand, but Todd kept us up to date by email. We have recommended Todd to many of our neighbors without reservation. Todd and his Live Oak team are the best!
