We hired RL Remodeling to replace our roof this past week, and we couldn't be happier. After getting quotes from four other companies RL said they could do it for less than the others and start the next day, and they literally did. Ben was our project manager, and certainly one of the reasons we picked his bid over other companies. Other than being a super nice guy, his "can-do" attitude gave us ease that if any unforseen problems arose he would take care of it. The job was supposed to take up to 8 days, but they banged it out in 3 1/2 days with super speed and efficiency. The roof looks great. The price was fair and everything was easy. Would 100% hire them again

They matched my expectations for a pool construction project. Highly professional, accountable and transparent during the entirety of the pool construction process. My initial nervousness quickly turned into confidence after witnessing their productivity and overall performance in building the pool. I can't recommend them enough if you're interested in building a pool for your home in Los Angeles.

Truly an excellent remodeling experience. RL Remodeling is a highly professional, distinguished company that met our expectations throughout the entirety of the bathroom remodel. In particular, Ben was highly motivated, efficient and well mannered. Under his supervision, the productivity of all the other contractors never wavered. Things fell into place perfectly.

We were referred to RL by neighbors who had engaged them a few years ago to do an extensive and complicated remodeling. As our neighbors were so pleased, we decided to contract with RL as we felt we knew what we were getting into. And, we were NOT disappointed.

From the moment I called RL I knew it was going to be a good experience and it was. Chase was our project manager and I couldn't ask for a more accommodating and kind person to help with our project. We updated our back patio with flag stone and added a built in BBQ. One of Chase's group did a 3 D plan for us and the end product was exactly like the plan. This young woman and Chase listened carefully to me and delivered. The workers under Chase were professional and courteous. Doing something like this during a pandemic is tricky but all were extremely careful. Lots of Integrity. I'll use them again!

Ben and his team did a wonderful job with getting several projects done on our house before we moved in. Ben was very reliable at providing us with updates on the progress... and the quality of their work is great. I would definitely recommend RL Remodeling to others!

Absolutely loved working with this company! They were super safe (masks and everything) and wonderfully friendly. Our project manager, Alon, specifically went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted with our new fireplace. They took a dingy, gray concrete fireplace and turned it into a beautiful, stone and tile work of art! It's now my dog's favorite place to curl up and sleep. Would absolutely hire them again for any project, big or small.

Ben and his team were great! I recently referred them to some clients that just bought a house and they were very happy with their work. Would highly recommend again.

RL Remodeling did a great job renewing our backyard and preparing it for an Endless pool installation and a play structure. Ben was the only contractor that had clear and meaningful ideas how to fit this into the existing space, and his team executed this carefully until everything was just right. They could have done a better job with mask wearing and distancing, but I get that that is not easy for this kind of job. We are happy with the result and recommend them.

We worked with Ben and his team at RL Remodeling after finding them through Yelp. Extremely customer oriented. Did a full pool remodel with hard and landscaping. Very responsive and did high quality work. Very pleased.

Why Choose RL Remodeling for Your Custom Home Build

Building a custom single-family home is one of the most significant investments you can make. Unlike purchasing an existing home, a custom build allows you to design every element — from the floor plan and room layout to the materials, finishes, and energy systems — tailored to how you actually live.

At RL Remodeling, Inc., we bring decades of design-build expertise across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. Our integrated approach means a single team handles your architecture, permitting, engineering, and construction — keeping communication clear, timelines on track, and budgets transparent from start to finish.

The Custom Home Design-Build Process

Our process begins with a free consultation where we assess your lot, understand your vision, and outline a realistic scope and budget. From there, our in-house designers and architects create detailed 3D renderings so you can visualize every room before construction begins.

Once the design is approved, we handle all city permits, HOA approvals, and plan check submissions. Your dedicated Project Manager oversees every phase — foundation, framing, mechanical systems, interior finishes, and final inspections — ensuring craftsmanship at every stage.

What to Expect: Cost, Timeline, and ROI

Custom homes in Southern California typically range from $350 to $500+ per square foot depending on size, site conditions, and finish level. Most projects take 8 to 14 months from design through move-in. While the upfront investment is significant, custom-built homes often appreciate faster than production homes because of their unique design, premium materials, and energy-efficient systems.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Building

New construction gives you the advantage of building to the latest California Title 24 energy standards from the ground up. We incorporate energy-efficient HVAC, insulation, windows, LED lighting, and optional solar-ready systems — reducing your long-term utility costs and environmental footprint.

Navigating Permits and Zoning in Southern California

Permitting for new construction in cities like Los Angeles, Costa Mesa, and San Diego can be complex. Our team is well-versed in local zoning ordinances, setback requirements, lot coverage limits, and the plan check process. We manage all documentation and inspections so you can focus on choosing finishes, not chasing paperwork.
