Second-Story Additions contractor in Lake Sherwood
Adding a floor starts underneath the new floor rather than on top of the old one. Existing walls, beams and footings are assessed for the load they will carry, and the structural set is drawn around what the house can actually take. Framing goes up once the roof is opened, then the new roof and the exterior tie-ins that make two levels read as one building. Stair access is the decision that reshapes the ground floor, since the run has to come out of a room that already has a use. On a Lake Sherwood property the outdoor side of the build gets written attention too: where material lands, what is protected, and how the working area is kept.
Call or text (310) 220-0903 to book. An Onsite Visit + Free Estimate, including detailed scope of work and remodeling consultation, is the first step, and neither half of it is billed. The scope reads as a list of stages rather than a headline: drawings, structural reinforcement, framing, roof, exterior work, rough services, finishes, in the order they actually happen, so what you are agreeing to is legible before you agree to it. No dollar figure for this work appears on the site; that document is what produces one. Permit handling stays with the builder, from plan review through inspection. Financing is available. Completed work carries a warranty of 5 years. Licence CSLB #1072368, licensed and insured, in business since 2020.

Going up instead of out leaves the yard untouched, and that trade is the whole appeal of a second story. What it takes instead is interior: a stair run has to come out of a room that already has a use downstairs. Outside, the two levels have to read as one building at a Lake Sherwood estates address.

Real feedback from Google and Yelp. Every review links to the original profile so you can verify it yourself.
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.

Second-Story Additions in Lake Sherwood - common questions
Answers to the most common questions about this service in your area.
Financing is available. In practice that means a build of this size does not have to come out of savings in one movement. Rates, terms and lenders are not something to read off a web page, so bring the question to the onsite visit and go through it with a person alongside the written scope of work. The visit and the estimate stay free either way.
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 Lake Sherwood page to compare related local services.
No price for a second-story addition appears anywhere on this site, and a figure quoted before anyone has stood in the house would be worth nothing. The square footage upstairs, what the existing structure has to be reinforced to carry, how much roof is replaced, where the stair lands and the finish level all move it. The free onsite visit is what turns those into a written number.
Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.
The existing structure moves it first. What the walls, beams and foundation have to be reinforced to carry decides how much work happens below the new floor before anything is built above it. After that it is the size of the upper level, where the staircase comes down, how much of the roof is replaced, and whether the exterior finish is matched across the seam or renewed across the whole elevation.
