An ADU build begins on paper. Drawings are prepared and coordinated, and permit support runs through that stage. Once it clears, the physical work starts: for a detached unit, a new foundation, frame, roof and exterior; for an attached unit, the same construction plus a properly detailed junction with the existing house. Water, waste and electrical service are then brought to the unit from the main supply. Interior finish work is the final body of work and covers insulation, drywall, flooring, the bathroom, a kitchenette, cabinetry, lighting and paint. A Lake Sherwood project is completed at a final walkthrough, with the punch list written and cleared on site.
Every Lake Sherwood ADU starts as a written scope rather than a verbal figure. The property is visited at no cost, the unit's position and size are discussed, and a scope of work in detail is issued covering structure, services and finishes in the order they happen. The estimate priced from it is free. Permit preparation and lodgement sit with MyCali Builders. Financing is available. The contractor licence is CSLB #1072368, insurance is in place, and every completed accessory dwelling unit is warranted for 5 years.
Lake Sherwood area
An accessory unit has to find its place on the lot before anything else is decided. That question comes up the same way at addresses in the Sherwood Country Club area, the Lake Sherwood estates and the Hidden Valley adjacent blocks: where the detached building sits, how much of the yard it takes, and what its exterior has to answer to.

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.
Financing is available for ADU projects in Lake Sherwood. MyCali Builders confirms that and stops there in public, because the particulars are specific to each homeowner. If it is relevant, the Onsite Visit and Free Estimate is the right moment to bring it up, since the detailed scope of work for the unit is being written then and the two questions are better answered together than apart.
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 Lake Sherwood page to compare related local services.
MyCali Builders publishes no ADU price for Lake Sherwood. The reason is that the number is a consequence of decisions rather than a starting point: the unit's size, whether it is detached or attached, the distance the services have to run, and the finish standard inside. The free onsite visit settles them and produces the written scope of work the estimate is calculated on.
Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.
Four things move it most. Whether the ADU is detached or joined to the house. How large it is and how many rooms it holds. How far water, sewer and electrical service have to be brought from the existing supply. And what the interior finish package includes. Access to the working area is a fifth, since equipment and deliveries have to reach it. All of them are looked at during the free Lake Sherwood visit and written into the scope.
