Our Story
Our Story
Ilan Koifman and Elan Benor didn't meet in an office—they met during Ironman training. Through grueling miles, early mornings, and shared determination, they discovered something beyond a love for endurance sports: a shared frustration.
Homeowners in Los Angeles were being let down. Unreliable contractors. Hidden fees. Broken promises. Projects that dragged on for months. Dreams of beautiful outdoor spaces that turned into nightmares.
They came together with one mission: bring a better future for homeowners.
In 2019, Moda Outdoor Living was born in Woodland Hills. Built on the principles of transparency, craftsmanship, and genuine care, Moda quickly became the go-to contractor for LA homeowners who wanted quality work without the stress.
Today, with California contractor licenses B, C-27, and C-53, PHTA Pool Builder certification, and hundreds of transformed backyards across Los Angeles County, Moda continues to deliver on that original promise—turning outdoor spaces into places where families gather, memories are made, and life is lived to the fullest.
