An ADU has to function as a separate home, so it is built with its own structure, its own services and its own finishes. Detached construction and attached construction are both offered, and the choice is made against the property rather than a preference. Plans are drawn and coordinated, permit support runs with them, and then the ground-up phase begins: foundation, framing, roof, exterior envelope. Utility tie-ins follow, giving the unit water, waste and power from the existing house. Interior finish work covers the bathroom, the kitchenette, flooring, cabinetry and paint. The La Crescenta build ends with a walkthrough and a written punch list.
The estimate is the mechanism that turns an ADU idea into a defined job. For La Crescenta that means a free onsite visit, then a scope of work in detail, then a price built against that document and nothing else. A remodeling consultation runs alongside that visit, so the layout and the finish level are talked through while the scope is being written. The permit submittal passes to MyCali Builders once the scope is agreed. The company has been in business since 2020, is licensed and insured under CSLB #1072368, and warrants the completed unit for 5 years.
La Crescenta area
Whether the lot sits in Crescenta Highlands or on the Montrose adjacent blocks, an ADU is planned from the property itself: where the existing house already stands, where the utilities already run, and how much yard is left once the new unit is placed. The address settles that, not the area name.

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.

There is no published price for ADU work in La Crescenta, and any number given before the property is seen would be a guess. Footprint, attached or detached construction, the distance the services run and the interior specification all move it. The free onsite visit resolves those points, and the detailed scope of work that comes out of it is what the estimate is prepared against.
Yes. MyCali Builders builds ADUs in La Crescenta as a licensed and insured California contractor, under CSLB #1072368.
