Live Oak's first home went up in 1868, trains arrived in 1869, and the town incorporated on January 22, 1947. It's still an agricultural community, and about 9,100 people lived there as of 2020. Roughly six in ten homes are owner-occupied, and the rest are rentals.
Two kinds of work come up most. In town, it's the usual list for homes of every age: dry rot at trim and sills, worn doors and windows, fixtures and flooring. Out on the farm roads, it's older farmhouses and outbuildings taking the full force of summer sun and winter storms, with siding, porches and decks that need more than paint. A licensed contractor can take on the bigger repair when the small one uncovers it.
