At RL Remodeling, Inc., we're committed to helping homeowners reduce their environmental footprint while saving money on energy costs. Our energy-efficient home upgrade services combine cutting-edge technology with expert installation to transform your home into a more sustainable, comfortable, and cost-effective living space.
Whether you're looking to install solar panels, upgrade to a cool roof, improve your home's insulation, or replace old windows with energy-efficient alternatives, our experienced team delivers professional results backed by decades of contracting expertise across Southern California.
Solar Panel Installation
Harness the power of Southern California's abundant sunshine with a professionally installed solar panel system. Our team handles every aspect of solar installation – from initial assessment and system design to permitting, installation, and utility interconnection. We work with top-tier solar panel manufacturers to deliver systems that maximize energy production and provide decades of clean, renewable energy for your home.
- Custom system design based on your roof orientation and energy needs
- Premium solar panels with 25+ year warranties
- Complete permitting and utility interconnection
- Battery storage options for energy independence
- Federal and state tax credit assistance
Cool Roof Installations
Beat the Southern California heat with a cool roof that reflects sunlight and reduces heat absorption. Cool roofs are one of the most effective ways to lower your cooling costs, extend the life of your roofing system, and improve indoor comfort. We offer a variety of cool roofing options including reflective coatings, cool-color shingles, and tile systems designed to meet California's Title 24 energy standards.
- High solar reflectance and thermal emittance materials
- Reduced cooling costs by up to 15%
- Extended roof lifespan
- Compliance with California Title 24 energy codes
- Multiple style and color options
Complete Home Insulation
Proper insulation is the foundation of an energy-efficient home. Our complete home insulation services address every area where energy loss occurs – from attics and walls to crawl spaces and floors. We use high-performance insulation materials that keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer, dramatically reducing your HVAC energy consumption.
- Attic insulation (blown-in and batt)
- Wall cavity insulation
- Crawl space and floor insulation
- Spray foam insulation for maximum air sealing
- Radiant barrier installation for attics
Insulated Windows & Doors
Old, single-pane windows are one of the biggest sources of energy loss in a home. Our energy-efficient window and door replacements feature double or triple-pane glass, low-E coatings, and insulated frames that significantly reduce heat transfer. The result is a more comfortable home with lower energy bills and reduced outside noise.
- Double and triple-pane insulated glass
- Low-E (low emissivity) coatings
- Argon or krypton gas-filled windows
- ENERGY STAR certified products
- Vinyl, fiberglass, and wood frame options
- Custom sizes and styles to match your home

Combine Energy Upgrades with Your Remodel
The smartest time to invest in energy-efficient upgrades is during a home remodel. When walls are already open for a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or room addition, it's the perfect opportunity to add insulation, upgrade wiring for solar, or install energy-efficient windows – all at a fraction of the standalone cost.
RL Remodeling's design-build approach makes it easy to integrate energy-efficient elements into any remodeling project. Talk to our team about bundling energy upgrades with your next renovation. Call (888) 324-1144 for a free consultation or contact us online.

TESTIMONIALS
Amira M.
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.
Randy B.
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!
Allison P.
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.
Chris W.
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.
