Dana Laksman
General Manager, RL Remodeling
Dana Laksman leads RL Remodeling as General Manager and brings more than two decades of real estate and design-build expertise to every project the company takes on. Before stepping into operations at RL Remodeling, Dana built her career as a licensed California Realtor, working closely with homeowners, investors, and builders across Southern California to maximize the value of their properties through smart, market-informed renovations.
That dual background, real estate market expertise on one side and hands-on construction management on the other, is what sets Dana apart in the design-build industry. She understands not only what looks beautiful and lives well, but what actually sells, what appraises, and what holds long-term value in markets like Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. Under her leadership, RL Remodeling has earned a Better Business Bureau A+ rating, has been named Best of Houzz for Customer Service every year since 2014, and has completed hundreds of kitchen, bathroom, backyard, ADU, and full house remodels across the region.
Dana is hands-on with every client engagement, from the initial consultation through final walkthrough. Her philosophy is straightforward: great design is not only about aesthetics, it is about creating spaces that work beautifully for real life and deliver real return on investment. Whether a client is preparing to sell, increasing long-term value, or simply elevating everyday living, Dana brings the same focus on quality, detail, and results to every project.
