Second-Story Additions contractor in Malibu

A second story is an envelope job as much as a framing job. Once the old roof is opened, the new walls, the new roof and the junction where they meet the original structure have to close up as a single weather-tight shell. That is where the exterior tie-ins earn their place: flashing at the roof-to-wall line, the wall finish carried across the seam, windows set so the two levels line up from the street. Structural planning comes before any of it, because the walls below are drawn for the load above. Stair access and the upstairs layout are worked out in the same set. Material choice and how a Point Dume or Carbon Beach site is reached belong in that early conversation.

There is a reason no price appears on this site. A number handed over before anyone has walked the property is a marketing figure, and it moves the moment the real conditions arrive, which is how owners end up arguing over change orders halfway through a build. Text or call (310) 220-0903 and the next step is an Onsite Visit + Free Estimate, including detailed scope of work and remodeling consultation. Permits are filed and tracked by the builder. Financing is available. The finished job carries a warranty of 5 years, and the licence is CSLB #1072368, held by a contractor that is licensed and insured and in business since 2020.

Malibu area

Building up rather than out keeps the address the same, and in Malibu that address falls in ZIP 90265. Zuma Beach and Pacific Coast Highway sit among the landmark names nearby. A second story starts as a structural question: what the existing framing carries, where the stair lands, and how the new exterior meets the wall below it.

Neighborhoods served: Point Dume, Malibu Park, Carbon Beach.

Near: Pacific Coast Highway, Zuma Beach, Malibu Pier.

What is included

  • Structural planning for vertical expansion

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 Malibu - common questions

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

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

Nothing is posted, because no honest number exists before someone has seen the building. The drivers are the size of the new level, the reinforcement the existing frame needs, the extent of the roof work, the exterior finish across old and new, and how difficult the site is to work. The written scope produced after the free onsite visit is where the figure comes from.

Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.

The Onsite Visit + Free Estimate comes with a detailed scope of work and a remodeling consultation. The scope names the drawing and structural stage, the permit package, the framing, the roofing, the exterior tie-ins, the stair, the rough services and the finish trades, in the order they happen. Reading it should tell you what is in the job and what is not, without asking.
Call or text (310) 220-0903 and book the onsite visit. Someone walks the house with you, looks at the existing structure and how the site is reached, and talks through what the upper level would hold. You are left with a written scope of work and a consultation, both free. Any drawings, survey or association paperwork you already hold will shorten the first conversation.
