La Crescenta

Second-Story Additions contractor in La Crescenta

Raising a house changes its roof, and changing a roof changes where the water off it goes. New eaves, new gutter lines and downspouts that used to end at one height now start higher and have to discharge somewhere sensible, and that detail belongs in the drawings rather than in a decision taken on the last day. The same drawings settle the structural side, which is how the added floor loads down into the existing walls and footings, and the exterior side, which is how the siding, trim and roofline of two levels read as one house. Framing, roofing, the stair and the interior finishes follow, with permit handling from plan review through inspection.

First contact, then a visit, then a written estimate, and the first two of those are free along with the third. What gets written up is a scope of work in detail, covering the addition from structure through to finishes, and a remodeling consultation comes attached to it. Permits are looked after by the contractor across submittal, review and inspection. Financing is available. The completed addition carries a warranty of 5 years. The company is insured and licensed, holds CSLB #1072368, has been in business since 2020, and answers on (310) 220-0903.

La Crescenta area

Building up rather than out puts the entire exterior back in play. On a Crescenta Highlands lot the plan is built around the existing framing, the place a staircase can land, and the roof that has to come off, since a second floor only works if the first floor underneath it can carry the load.

Neighborhoods served: Crescenta Highlands, Montrose adjacent blocks, Foothill Boulevard corridor.

Near: Foothill Boulevard, Crescenta Valley Park, Angeles Crest Highway.

What is included

  • Structural planning for vertical expansion
  • Framing, roofing, and exterior tie-ins

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.

The house sets it: what the existing structure can carry, how much floor area is added above, the roof and exterior work involved, the stair, and the finish level of the new rooms. Those are recorded at the free onsite visit and written into a scope of work, and the estimate is priced from that scope.
