Second-Story Additions contractor in Encino

Building up rather than out is a decision about the lot as much as the house, and it is worth settling before drawings start. Once it is made, the work has an order that does not bend: engineering that proves the existing structure can carry the new floor, then framing and the new roof, then the exterior tie-ins, then the stair, then the rooms themselves. Layout is where the value shows. Bedroom sizes, where the bathroom stack lands over the plumbing below, how the hallway runs and where the stair arrives all get resolved together, because moving any of them after framing is expensive. Permit handling covers plan review through inspection.

One appointment gets a job like this started, and it costs nothing. Someone comes to the house, sees what is actually there, and writes the scope of work out in detail, stage by stage. A remodeling consultation goes with it, which is where the plan changes shape before a price is put on it. What you are left holding is a free estimate and a document you can read line by line. Permits are handled for you, submittal through inspection. Financing is available. Finished work is covered by a warranty of 5 years. CSLB #1072368, licensed and insured, in business since 2020. Call or text (310) 220-0903.

Royal Oaks is one of the neighborhood names in Encino. Building up rather than out is a decision about the house itself, not about running short of ground, since larger lots are common on Encino homes. The existing foundation, the wall framing below and where the stair lands are what settle 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 Encino - common questions

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

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

The site publishes no prices. For a second story the total is driven by the structure underneath it, the floor area being added, the roof work, the stair and the finishes chosen above. None of that can be judged from a phone description. The onsite visit is free, the estimate is free, and the estimate is a written scope of work with a figure attached to it.
Yes. CSLB #1072368 is the licence, the company is insured as well as licensed, and the number is published so it can be verified through the CSLB lookup. In business since 2020, with over 580 completed projects. On a job that changes how a house carries its own weight, that verification is worth doing before any contract is signed.
Part of the build can be lived through and part of it cannot. Taking the roof off and framing above your ceilings makes the rooms below unusable while it is happening, and how long that stretch runs depends on the size of the addition and the sequence. The scope of work written after the onsite visit sets out which stages affect which parts of the house, so you decide with the sequence in front of you.
