About

I take a lot of pride in the work I do. Essential Living Construction is my family-run business, and every project gets the same care and attention I’d want in my own home. I’m licensed, experienced, and specialize in drywall, metal and wood stud framing, texture matching, and repair work. I show up when I say I will, keep things clean, communicate clearly, and make sure the job is done right the first time. My goal is simple — to give homeowners solid, honest workmanship they can trust.

As indicated by my Excellent Rating, the service resulted in a perfect repair to my water damaged bedroom ceiling. The team arrived and explained everything before beginning the work began. Photos show the quality work they provided. Thanks to Oscar and the team.

Oscar and his crew were amazing! He always showed up when he said he was going to and followed through with the project in a timely manner. Oscar was very respectful, professional and has an optimistic attitude. The drywall and finish work were impeccable. And best of all, he took precautions not to scratch our flooring by taping down paper floor covering from the front door to the bathroom in which the work was being done. And, lastly, he and his crew did a great job with the clean up. Thank you Essential Living for a job well done!
