A 1948 Los Angeles home got a second life — and a second story — thanks to Rhodium Construction Inc. With major structural upgrades and premium finishes, this full-scale remodel transformed a dated structure into a modern family residence. Partnering with GoSource allowed the team to source top-tier materials while staying on budget and schedule.

Project Overview

Rhodium Construction Inc. led a complete overhaul of a mid-century home in Los Angeles, turning a cramped single-story layout into a bright, modern two-story build. The homeowners wanted timeless finishes and durable materials, but budget constraints and post-pandemic supply chain delays posed a challenge. The goal: elevate the home without compromising on quality or waiting years for completion.

Solution & Process

GoSource stepped in to streamline material procurement from day one. We sourced wide-plank white oak flooring and dramatic quartzite slabs for the kitchen, balancing beauty and longevity. Our team handled supplier coordination for pavers and high-end appliance packages, ensuring everything arrived on-site when needed — no costly delays or storage fees.

With GoSource managing logistics behind the scenes, Rhodium Construction was able to focus on the build, maintaining momentum through each phase of the remodel.
