About
Who We Are
Our Goal is to Help You Achieve Yours.
We are a team of experts who spent years gaining experience working with large home improvement companies. Although we loved the home remodeling aspect of our careers, we did not always agree with those companies’ focus. We learned that there was more than a quick fix to Los Angeles home remodeling and wanted a more personalized approach to working with clients’ desires in a home remodel.
Now over six years later, 5blox is an independent, fully licensed, and bonded home interior company that takes time to listen to client needs to build beautiful homes. Home improvement is our passion. We fully invest in every project because we know the satisfaction of maximizing potential space.
Regardless of your dream renovation, every project has three common denominators we keep in mind.
- Adaptability – There are times when we have to be flexible with home improvement changes.
- Financials – When changes happen, they can impact the bottom line. We always keep you up-to-date with financials.
- Commitment – Improving your home is a huge commitment, so when you are ready to make the leap, we will ensure it’s worthwhile.
Mission
It’s Your Home, You Should Feel Heard
Changing your home is changing a part of the way you live your life. At 5blox, that’s not something we take lightly. Our designers listen to you and create a 3D model of your finished remodel. We recognize if we make a change for the better, we’ve accomplished our mission, so we don’t move forward until we have your approval on the design.

Our vision is to love the earth more by creating home remodeling projects with eco-friendly materials, products, and displays.

Meet the Team
Born in Tel Aviv, Eden grew up in Herzliya, next to the beach. He trained in Muay Thai and was a Krav Maga instructor in the military. After the military, Eden moved to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where he met Josh.
Eden went backpacking in South America for a year and then returned to the US when his son was born in 2011.
He began working in construction in 2012 and opened his first company in 2015, where he mainly sold energy efficiency products. It was successful, but it was not something he was motivated to pursue further. He decided to bring Josh in to open 5blox to perform high-end remodels and interior design.
He had a newborn son in February 2024.
Josh grew up in Maplewood, NJ, a diverse and eclectic community in the suburbs of NYC. He played the violin and soccer growing up. After attending James Madison University for computer science, he moved to Mexico. He lived in Playa Del Carmen for three years before returning to the States.
He returned to work for an international truffle company called Sabatino Truffles, where he handled first the Las Vegas office, then the United States territory.
He left that company to come to Los Angeles to help his long-time friend Eden Rush (they met while living in Mexico) start a home remodeling company that treated its clients the way they would like to be treated. Eden had let him know what the majority of the industry in Los Angeles looked like, and it was a lot of “chop shops.”
They have been growing and shaping 5blox ever since! He’ll have his first child, a daughter, due in February 2025.

Juan David was born in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1998, and grew up in a large, very close-knit family.
From the age of 4 until he was 17, he played soccer. At 14, he moved to Argentina for a year to pursue soccer. After returning to Colombia, he enrolled in university and studied business administration, where he completed his internship at the family business (marketing).
Later on, he decided to move to Los Angeles and began learning about the construction industry. Over time, he continued learning more and more. What he enjoys most about the industry is that it constantly challenges him to give his best and helps him to understand different perspectives. It also teaches him to see things from the client’s point of view and understand them from a new perspective.
Enrique grew up in LA, playing football all throughout school. He started working at 15, left home at 17, and then started working full-time. Luckily, he found a passion for construction when working with his father and uncles during summer breaks. He has been pursuing his passion by always chasing new skills and staying on top of industry standards and new technologies that 5blox is able to implement in their new projects.
When Josh and Eden opened the company, their vision included adding another level of customer service to the industry: to bring the newest technologies and AI to their clients’ projects.

He’s committed to life as a young dad and is a recent graduate of California State University, Long Beach. He paved his own path all the way from Mexico to the Mojave desert, the LBC, and beyond.
His diligence and determination put him on 5blox’s radar when he was on a job hunt with a newborn and a college degree under his belt. Just one interview later, he joined the 5blox crew. He’s spent two years running every social media platform on behalf of 5blox, learning and growing in his role as viral marketing/content creator while sharpening his skills as the current Media Production Director.
