Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

Locali completely transformed our backyard from a dirt patch into an outdoor living room. The patio, fire pit, and landscape design are exactly what we wanted. Rafi and his team were communicative, on schedule, and the workmanship is outstanding. We use our backyard every single evening now.
David & Rachel M. Woodland Hills, CA Backyard Remodeling
Our kitchen remodel exceeded every expectation. Locali removed a load-bearing wall to open the space, installed gorgeous quartz countertops and custom cabinetry, and finished two days ahead of schedule. The attention to detail on the tile work and trim is remarkable. Friends think we hired a Beverly Hills designer.
Sarah K. West Hills, CA Kitchen Remodeling
Locali built our ADU from start to finish - permits, design, construction, everything. The 800 sq ft unit is beautiful and was rented within a week for $3,000 a month. Rafi guided us through the entire permitting process and the quality of the finished unit is indistinguishable from a new home.
Michael & Jennifer L. Calabasas, CA ADU
The outdoor kitchen Locali built is the highlight of every gathering. Built-in grill, stone island, bar seating, and a beautiful patio cover overhead. The gas and plumbing work is completely hidden and professional. We cook outside four or five nights a week now.
Tony & Maria V. Encino, CA Outdoor Kitchen
Our pool turned out absolutely perfect. Locali managed every aspect - excavation, plumbing, equipment, decking, and the landscape around it. The 3D rendering they showed us beforehand was almost identical to the finished product. The heated spa is where we end every evening.
Lisa & Mark H. Sherman Oaks, CA Swimming Pool
Locali renovated our entire 1970s ranch home - kitchen, both bathrooms, flooring, paint, fixtures, and electrical. The transformation is unbelievable. They kept us informed at every stage and the project came in on budget. Our home feels brand new. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
Robert & Amy S. Tarzana, CA Full Home Remodel
Locali designed a drought-tolerant landscape for our front and back yard that looks lush and green without the water bill. The native plant palette, decomposed granite pathways, and mature olive trees are gorgeous. Our neighbors constantly compliment us.
Catherine M. West Hills, CA Landscape Design
Locali replaced our cracked asphalt driveway with interlocking pavers. The herringbone pattern and charcoal color give our home serious curb appeal. The base work and drainage are done properly. Two years later - not a single paver has shifted.
Peter & Joan L. Encino, CA Driveways
The insulated patio cover Locali installed over our back patio made our outdoor space usable year-round. Recessed lighting, ceiling fan, and it keeps the area 15 degrees cooler in summer. Professional installation and the crew was respectful and clean.
Steve & Diana K. Chatsworth, CA Patio Cover
Locali transformed our cramped master bathroom into a spa-like retreat. Walk-in shower with frameless glass, freestanding tub, dual vanity, and heated floors. The tile work is magazine quality. They completed it in five weeks and we had use of our guest bath the entire time.
Chris & Amanda L. Northridge, CA Bathroom Remodel
We replaced our dead front lawn with artificial turf from Locali and it looks incredible. Multiple neighbors have asked who did it. The installation was thorough - proper base, drainage, and the turf itself looks and feels real. Zero maintenance and our water bill dropped significantly.
Jason B. Porter Ranch, CA Artificial Turf
Locali poured a new stamped concrete patio and walkway for us. The slate pattern looks exactly like real stone and the color is beautiful. The crew was efficient, cleaned up completely, and the finished product has held up perfectly through two rainy seasons.
