Brentwood

Second-Story Additions contractor in Brentwood

The stair is the decision that shapes the rest of a second-story addition. It needs a straight run, headroom at both ends, and a landing above that does not eat the bedroom you are building. Downstairs it takes floor area out of a hallway, a closet or a corner of a living room, so the ground floor plan changes whether you meant it to or not. Working that out early is what keeps the upper level from being drawn twice. Around it sit the structural design that carries the new load into the existing walls, the framing and roofing sequence, the exterior tie-ins, and permit handling from plan review through inspection.

What does the first appointment cost you? Nothing. An onsite visit is arranged, the house is looked at, and a free estimate follows as a detailed scope of work with a remodeling consultation beside it. Who deals with the permits? The contractor does, from the drawings right through the inspections. Can the build be financed? Financing is available. What happens once it is finished? A 5 year warranty applies, backed by a licensed and insured company under CSLB #1072368, in business since 2020, with over 580 completed projects behind it.

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 Brentwood - common questions

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

Yes. We have completed multiple Second-Story Additions projects in Brentwood. 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.

Yes, and it is inside what you are quoted. Drawings are prepared and submitted, review is followed through, and the inspections during the build are arranged by the contractor. It sits in the scope of work you see at the estimate, so it is not a line that appears afterwards. Nothing about it is passed back to the owner to organise.
There is no set figure, and none is published. A second story is priced from the structure it lands on, the floor area added, the roof work, the stair and the finish level, and those are only knowable once someone has walked the house. The free onsite visit and the written scope of work that follows are what turn all of it into a number you can hold to.

Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.

It depends on how much of the house is opened at once. Framing above an occupied ground floor works on some builds and is impractical on others, and the difference is the sequence rather than a policy. The honest answer comes out of the onsite visit, where the stages, the areas affected and the periods the roof is open are set out in writing before you decide.
