Custom Homes
Custom homes. Personally led.
Oakwood Estate Homes builds custom homes and substantial renovations across the Houston area. Sam Zivley leads each project from early planning through completion, supported by Oakwood's team, trade partners, and the client's design professionals.
Direct leadership. Coordinated execution.
Oakwood combines direct access to leadership with a coordinated team behind the build. Sam stays involved in major decisions while Oakwood's team and trade partners handle the planning, coordination, and construction required to keep the project moving.
We work alongside the architect, engineer, and interior designer you choose.
