How It’s Built

C-channel Cross Member

gives extra support to give you a stronger home.

Floors

With ¾” Tongue and Groove OSB floor decking, our floors are 25% thicker than the competition.

Side Walls

You can rest easy knowing your Live Oak Home walls are built to exceed HUD standards on a minimum of just 16” between each stud.  Homes upgraded to Wind Zone 2 will average even closer, with double studs around each window and door and near the end walls of each home.

Live Oak Homes are built in a controlled factory environment with state of the art technology. This means that we are able to produce a higher quality home more efficiently. Unlike site built houses our building materials and skilled employees are protected from the elements during the construction process. This prevents damage to our materials and allows us to avoid costly weather delays.

Double and triple studding around all windows and doors.

Live Oak Homes are precision built with quality brand name materials. We buy materials in bulk which saves us money, then we pass the savings on to you.

Stud Mounted Receptacles

We stud mount our receptacles, switches, and lights for better durability. (In most case)

State-of-the-Art Engineered Trusses

Our State-of-the-art trusses give you a strong sturdy roof.

Ridge Beam

This is the backbone of your home, this stronger design is more durable and allows for more floor plan design flexibly. We have the strongest ridge beam in the industry.

Each Live Oak Home is engineered to maximize the use of space and to minimize any construction waste. Our state-of-the-art design allows maximum flexibility for the layout of your home. That means we can customize the floor plan of your home any way you want. For example, we can customize your home for special needs accessibility.

Our R-6 Ducts Exceed All State Efficiency Ratings

R-21 Ceiling Insulation is Standard

R-21 Blown Ceiling Insulation is standard on all Live Oak Homes, so you get lower utility bills.

Shingle Nailing

We nail our shingles so they will last longer, and be more consistent and better fastened.

We know the roof is one of the most important parts of your home, so we make sure you get maximum performance.

Residential Vented Eaves

Our homes are built to meet and exceed the quality standards required by the Federal HUD code. Each home is inspected by a third party inspector as required by HUD in addition to the many quality inspections preformed by our caring staff members. When you are buying a Live Oak you can rest assured that you are getting the best value and quality home for your money.

Front & Rear Roof Vents are Standard

Along with fully ventilated eaves, the roof vents ensure proper ventilation and air flow through your roof cavity.
What that means for you is, a reduced chance of mold, and more fresh air for your family, which can help reduce allergy symptoms.

Solution Dyed Carpets Throughout For Easy Cleaning

We install only solution dyed carpet in our homes. This means the our carpet color is continuous all the way throughout the carpet fiber, unlike our competitors carpet that only has color on the outside fibers of their carpet.

Because our carpet is solution dyed, you can clean and disinfect with a diluted bleach solution without any damage.

Premium Rebound Carpet Pad & Tack Strips

We use a residential tack strip application with all of our carpets. Compared to some manufacturers who just staple the carpet and pad in place.
