Second-Story Additions contractor in Alhambra

Adding a floor above an existing house is not only a framing job. Water lines, drains, electrical circuits and duct runs all have to find a way upward, and the shortest paths go through walls that are already open for the structural work. So the plumbing and electrical layout for the new level is drawn before framing starts rather than after. Downstairs, the rooms under the new stair and under the new bathrooms are the ones that change hardest, so the ceiling and wall work below is scoped at the same time. Framing, roof removal, exterior tie-ins and the interior finish that follows are stages of one build, and the drawings have to carry all four before the first wall is opened.

A few things are worth knowing before you book. The first appointment is an onsite visit and it is free. The estimate that comes out of it is free too, and it arrives as a detailed scope of work rather than a total on a card, with a remodeling consultation attached so the plan can move before it is priced. Permit work sits with the contractor: drawings prepared, submitted, followed through review, inspections attended. The finished addition holds a 5 year warranty. Financing is available on top of that. The licence is CSLB #1072368, insurance is in place, the company has been in business since 2020, and over 580 completed projects sit behind it.

Alhambra area

Building up rather than out is how a house in Alhambra Hills or Midwick Tract gains rooms without surrendering the yard. What stands underneath governs the framing, the stair position and the tie-in at the roof, so the floor plan below is read before anything above it.

Neighborhoods served: Midwick Tract, Alhambra Hills, Valley Boulevard corridor.

Near: Main Street, Valley Boulevard, the 10.

What is included

I recently hired My Cali Builders for a backyard remodel and couldn't be happier. Danny and his team were professional, punctual, and easy to communicate with. They really paid attention to the details and brought my vision to life. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Everything was done cleanly and on schedule, which I really appreciated. Danny made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The backyard now looks amazing and feels like a completely new space. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable contractors.

I began my Yelp search for a company to perform structural repairs and ultimately chose 5 companies, scheduling each of them for a representative to visit and discuss my needs. I chose My Cali Builders based upon Danny's (owner) review of the work and how he defined the scope of the work. The other representatives vacillated on the scope of the work and attached various caveats. My Cali Builders also gave me the best bid. So I hired them and boy, am I glad I did. Work was performed quickly, efficiently and the finish work was excellent. Every task I initially discussed with Danny was completed. Danny's crew including Francisco and Jaime, were top notch and pleasant. Each day, refuse and trash were removed. Every day, Danny either visited or texted to advise on progress and to insure the work was progressing as discussed and to ask if I was satisfied and happy. I can't convey in words how much I appreciated My Cali Builders. Look no further, they are the best I've ever encountered.

Danny Raz is a man of action; the work was done promptly and even finished ahead of schedule. The workers were polite, respectful, of cleaned up well after the job.

FAQs

Second-Story Additions in Alhambra - common questions

Answers to the most common questions about this service in your area.

Yes. We have completed multiple Second-Story Additions projects in Alhambra. Call (310) 220-0903 to schedule a free onsite visit, or compare public feedback on the customer reviews page.

Second-story additions are larger scopes that typically run 3 to 6 months. We cover framing, roofing, and interior tie-ins under one team. We give you a written schedule during the estimate so milestone dates are clear before field work starts.

Second-story additions require structural permits and we coordinate the plan review and inspection sequence throughout the project. You can also step back to the main Alhambra page to compare related local services.

No figure goes on this page, because a second story is priced off the house it is going on: the existing structure, the size of the new floor, the stair, the finishes. That is what the free onsite visit and the written scope of work are for. You get the detail first and the number second, and nothing is owed for either step.

Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Licensed and insured. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.

A walkthrough of the whole house, not only the rooms you picture upstairs. Measurements get taken, the existing framing and roof are looked at, and the stair options are talked through on the spot. You describe how you want the upper floor to work. What arrives afterwards is a detailed scope of work and a remodeling consultation, both free, so you can weigh it against anything else you are holding.
Plumbing, electrical and heating for a new upper floor all tie back into what the house already has. How the runs get up there is decided on the drawings, since the routes pass through walls that are open for the structural work and are harder to reach once they are closed. Anything the new level requires is written into the detailed scope of work given with the free estimate, so it is on the page before the build starts. Permits and inspections for that work sit with the contractor.
