We used RL Remodeling for a backyard pergola. Amir and his crew did an excellent job of building and matching our existing tile roof with a drain gutter system while using the same stucco of our house on the underside. Amir made three independent trips to discuss the progress, style and paint color making sure that we were completely satisfied with all details. We plan to use Amir again for a bathroom remodel in the future.

I recently hired RL Remodeling for an outdoor project, and the results were awesome! They put in a new deck and landscaped garden area. From beginning to the very end they were very professional, attentive to detail, and worked with me to make sure everything was exactly how I envisioned it. The process was smooth, and they completed the project on time, even with some ugly weather there were able to turn my yard in to my dream yard. I really appreciated the respect and the getting the job done attitude. pricing, and the final cost was exactly what they quoted. These r the guys to work with there great RL Remodeling, and I’ll definitely reach out for any future projects.
