ABOUT Us

ABOUT
LIVE OAK HOMES


Live Oak Homes is named for the family’s love and appreciation of Southern history, culture and nature, expressly the live oak tree. Family-owned and operated, LOH has made a name for itself within Southern communities for preserving history by restoring and reviving historic homes that would otherwise have fallen prey to age and demolition. Flipping a switch on time, Live Oak Homes selects special properties with qualities and character that are hidden under years of neglect and age and breathes life into them again, restoring the home with all the modern conveniences, while also retaining the integrity of the home's original Southern charm and beauty. 

Live Oak Homes’ pride in their work makes them incomparable to competitors. Their passion and attention to detail, as well as their love for the communities in which they work, is evident in their custom designs. 

At Live Oak Homes, we work under the philosophy of "Integrity without Compromise."   

While the company’s name has changed, its root goal is the same: to connect the buying/selling aspects of what we do with restoration and design to make a house a home loved by a family in our community. 

“If you want quality work and integrity without compromise so that you and your family can sleep at night, you want Live Oak Homes.”

Within months, he fell in love with real estate and has since enjoyed the professional and friendly environment he helps create at Live Oak Homes. Ben’s day includes juggling construction work with real estate and client meetings in the Cenla area. His schedule changes daily, but that is one reason he loves this job!
