How IA Remodeling Helped a Los Angeles Homeowner Create Her Outdoor Oasis
For Emily Rodriguez, her Los Angeles home was almost perfect. Inside, everything reflected her style, but her backyard felt like wasted space. The cracked patio, patchy lawn, and lack of shade made it hard to enjoy outdoor living. In 2024, Emily decided to finally turn her backyard into a private retreat.
With the help of IA Remodeling, Emily found the right team to bring her vision to life. Her story highlights how trusted contractors can help homeowners transform neglected spaces into beautiful, functional extensions of the home.
Dreaming of Something More
Emily envisioned a backyard where she could relax, entertain friends, and enjoy California’s beautiful weather. “I wanted something low maintenance but still stunning,” she said. She started looking through HGTV and Houzz for ideas and noticed trends like pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and drought-tolerant landscaping.
“I knew what I liked, but finding the right people to make it happen felt intimidating,” she admitted. After hearing about IA Remodeling from a friend, she decided to reach out and see what they could offer.
The Right Team for the Job
Within a few days of submitting her project on IA Remodeling, Emily was matched with several licensed contractors who specialized in outdoor living spaces. Each provided a clear proposal, portfolio, and timeline. According to Forbes, reviewing portfolios and getting multiple bids is one of the most important steps in any project.
“I loved knowing all the contractors were already vetted,” she said. “That gave me confidence that they were qualified and professional.”
Turning Plans Into Reality
Emily selected a contractor who understood her vision and suggested creative ideas she had not considered. Together, they designed a backyard with a stamped concrete patio, a cedar pergola, built-in seating, and a small outdoor kitchen. They also added drought-tolerant plants and a smart irrigation system to minimize water use, which Emily learned from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can save thousands of gallons annually.
Throughout the project, the team kept Emily updated, and the work stayed on schedule. “The communication was excellent, and they made the whole process stress-free,” she said.
A Space to Enjoy for Years
Now, Emily’s backyard is her favorite part of the house. “It feels like an extension of my home. I love hosting friends or just sitting outside with a book,” she said.
