Boyle Heights

Second-Story Additions contractor in Boyle Heights

An added floor is visible from the street for good, so the exterior is not a finishing detail, it belongs in the structural drawing set. Where the new walls land over the old ones decides how the siding or stucco carries up, how the eaves and fascia return, and whether the roofline above reads as original or bolted on. Underneath that sits the load path: a floor overhead changes what the existing walls and footings carry, and the engineering settles it before framing. Then comes the stair, which takes space from a room downstairs, and the upper layout the stair position dictates. Permits run from plan review through inspection.

Nothing is owed for the first step. An onsite visit comes first, an estimate follows, and the estimate reads as a scope of work broken out line by line, with a remodeling consultation to talk it over. Permit handling is included, drawings through to the inspections. Financing is available. Completed work is covered for 5 years under the warranty. The company is insured and licensed, CSLB #1072368, in business since 2020, and over 580 homeowners have been served in that time. Calls and texts both land on (310) 220-0903.

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 Boyle Heights - common questions

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

Yes. We have completed multiple Second-Story Additions projects in Boyle Heights. 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 Boyle Heights page to compare related local services.

No price appears anywhere on this site, for this or any other service, because a fair one cannot be written before the house is seen. What the existing structure can carry, how large the new floor is, what happens to the roof, where the stair goes and which finishes you pick all feed the total. The onsite visit and the free written scope of work are how that number gets built.

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

A detailed scope of work: what gets built, what gets taken out, the structural work, the framing, the roof, the exterior, the stair, the interior finishes and the permit handling that goes with them. A remodeling consultation comes with it, so you can talk through changes before anything is fixed. You are not charged for the visit where the existing structure gets assessed, and you are not charged for the written estimate that follows it.
Sometimes yes and sometimes no, and it turns on the job rather than on a rule. Taking a roof off and framing above your ceilings is loud, dusty and open to the sky in stages, so part of the planning is whether the ground floor stays usable. That question is answered at the onsite visit, once the sequence and the areas affected are laid out in the scope of work.
