Live Oak Manufactured Homes

Our home was destroyed in 2018 by Hurricane Michael. Due to the extensive damage, area-wide home builders were backed up for 24 months.

I decided to purchase a Live Oak Home from Wayne Frier. Worst decision ever!!! First off, it took them 3 months to get it installed; my first mortgage payment was paid a month before we could ever move in. The first time we tried to move in, the only appliance in the kitchen that worked was the dishwasher.

They sent someone out; there was a wiring issue under the house. Second try at move-in, we hooked up the washer and dryer the first day. The next morning, my daughter woke up to a soaking wet bedroom floor; they had stapled through the water line for the washing machine when installing the baseboards. They sent someone out.

Other small things started to go wrong. I argued for days with Live Oak as they tried to tell me I signed off on a walkthrough that was NEVER DONE!! They could not even provide me with my signature on the walkthrough. My home came with a porch provided by Wayne Frier; it was installed with rotten and broken wood.

The whole thing had to be replaced after threatening a lawsuit. Then the LED lights in the kitchen started going out one by one (these should last years). I called Live Oak and was told, 'Yeah, we received a bad batch of lights'... did they come fix them?!

NO! Next was water leaking from the bathroom doorframe; they fixed that twice. Then my ceiling and walls started cracking, not small cracks either. The ceiling was at the center point of the house and went from one end of the house to the other.

They came to fix it after multiple calls and emails, then again, after a threat of a lawsuit, someone finally called back. It lasted temporarily. Then one day, sitting silently on the couch, I heard an odd sound, looked up, and watched as the ceiling cracked before my eyes and a big chunk fell off. They refused to come fix it again, saying it was due to settling and that it wasn't part of the warranty.

The dishwasher stopped working completely; I haven't been able to use it in 3 years. Next issue: 4 electrical plugs in my kitchen went out all at once, including the one my refrigerator plugs into. Of course, outside warranty, I had to call an electrician. He fixed it, or so we thought.

The fix lasted a few months; it went out again. I called the electrician; he came back out and went under the house. He proceeded to tell me and show me a picture of the nest of wires under my house and how 2 of the plugs were not even plugged fully into the junction box. My fridge is still plugged up to an extension cord running across the kitchen because I don't have the money to rewire what needs to be done.

And now the roof is leaking in the master bedroom. This house is a 2020, was brand new, so currently only 5 years old. Every day, there is a new problem. I have ugly cracks in the ceilings and walls, and water damage from previous and current leaks.

A whole wall of plugs in the kitchen that can't be used, no working dishwasher, and the 'replaced' front porch is bowing and boards are splitting. All in all, Live Oak homes are not worth the money, headaches, or heartaches. Poor craftsmanship and abhorrent customer service. Live Oak is hard to reach, doesn't return calls or emails; when you do finally get someone, they are rude and completely unhelpful.

This has been a 5-year nightmare, and not what I was expecting after already losing my home and all our belongings. Warranties are all expired, so they won't even talk to me now, not that they ever did in the beginning anyway.

NEVER EVER BUY A LIVE OAK HOME OR FROM WAYNE FRIER. Their homes are never-ending money pits.

Quality of the appliances is poor. Had problems with the stove and refrigerator since moving in.

The front door is actually bowed making a good seal impossible. The storm door doesn't fit the opening. Nails are coming up through the floor and the floor is cut in one place. Construction materials are of the lowest quality.

I've replaced the faucet on the kitchen sink. The island is warped. Trim is poorly installed. The blinds are falling apart just sitting in the windows.

I'm replacing them one at a time.

There is not a single 3 way switch in the entire trailer. Cabinets look nice but are made entirely of press wood.

ClassAction.org You're more then welcome to read this review, it will be just like listening to broken record. ASAP DONT HESITATE TO CONTACT ClassAction.org and mention either WAYNE FRIER MOBILE HOME SALES or LIVE OAK MANUFACTURED HOME SALES.

Preferably both. I don't know where to start! HVAC system totally unusable(yes its been in the 90s and have a 1st grader that has to stay with grandparents to live comfortably). Wiring to the stove/oven burned so oven isn't safe to use.

Plumbing leaking in the master bathroom has caused insulation under atleast 1/3 of the house to get wet and is currently and rapidly growing black mold and because of the leaking moisture has spread to already week floor support to the point that it's similar to a land mine field. Intermittent power to the laundry room. We bought new only a few years ago and these problems started immediately upon arrival, which was over a month late yet still had to pay 1st month's mortgage) So we're in a structure(not a home) that...

1. Can't cook.

2.

No heating or A/C.

3. 1st grade Daughter can't stay.

4. Flooring and walls due to cave at any time.

5. Wiring that could catch fire whenever.

6.

BLACK MOLD MOVING THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE LIKE A WILDFIRE!! In closing these people will actually answer your calls findout who you are and literally hang up the phone until they learn what numbers you're calling from and then will no longer answer!

Are we PISSED CONSUMERS? That's an understatement...
