Where an ADU goes on the property is the first real question, and it decides whether the build is detached or attached. From there the drawing set is developed and carried through plan coordination and permit support. The construction itself is ground-up: excavation and foundation, framing, roof, windows and doors, exterior finish. Utility tie-ins follow, bringing water, drainage and electrical service to the unit from the existing house. Interior finish work fits it out as a home, with the bathroom, the kitchenette, flooring, cabinetry, lighting and paint. The Encino build finishes with a walkthrough at the property and a punch list worked through to completion.
An Encino ADU is scoped at the house, because where the unit sits relative to the existing water, drain and electrical service is not something a phone call can establish. The onsite visit is free and produces a scope of work in detail, put in writing, with a free estimate priced from it. Permit preparation and submittal are carried by MyCali Builders. Over 580 completed projects since 2020 stand behind the method, and the work is done by a licensed and insured contractor under CSLB #1072368.
Encino area
An accessory dwelling unit needs somewhere on the property to sit before anything else gets decided, and larger lots are common on Encino homes. Amestoy Estates is one of the neighborhood names in Encino. Where the unit lands sets how far the water, drain and power runs travel from the existing house.

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.
Was very impressed! Prompt. Highly professional. Thorough. Excellent feedback and service while response completing my job. I absolutely would hire them again and recommend them without any concerns!
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.

Answers to the most common questions about this service in your area.
Yes. We have completed multiple ADU projects in Encino. Call (310) 220-0903 to schedule a free onsite visit, or compare public feedback on the customer reviews page.
ADU builds typically run 3 to 6 months from permit approval through final inspection. We map the milestone schedule before field work starts. We give you a written schedule during the estimate so milestone dates are clear before field work starts.
ADU builds require permits and we handle the full submittal, plan check, and inspection sequence. Permit timelines vary by city and we factor them into the schedule from day one. You can also step back to the main Encino page to compare related local services.
MyCali Builders does not publish an ADU price for Encino. The number depends on how large the unit is, whether it is attached or detached, how far the water, sewer and electrical runs travel, and what the interior finish covers. Those are answered at the free onsite visit, which produces a detailed scope of work, and the estimate is prepared against that written scope rather than a generic average.
Yes, on both counts. MyCali Builders holds California contractor licence CSLB #1072368 and carries insurance, and both apply to ADU work in Encino. Publishing the number means it can be checked on the CSLB register rather than taken on trust. The business has operated since 2020, and the ADUs it completes are covered by a warranty of 5 years.
A detached ADU is built clear of the main house, so daily life in it continues while the unit goes up. An attached ADU touches the existing structure at the connection, and that stage is planned before it happens so the disruption is contained. Where the crew parks, where materials are stacked and which areas stay off limits are all agreed at the Encino walkthrough and written into the scope of work.
