An accessory dwelling unit needs everything a house needs, only smaller, and the build list reflects it. Detached and attached units are both built. The paper stage comes first, with the drawing set coordinated and permit support running alongside. Physical work starts at the foundation and moves through framing, roof, exterior envelope and weatherproofing. Utility tie-ins bring a water supply, a drain and an electrical feed across from the existing house. Interior finish work then delivers the bathroom, the kitchenette, floors, cabinetry, trim and paint. The Monrovia project ends with a final walkthrough at the property and a punch list that gets closed rather than filed.
No ADU can be priced from a description over the phone, and Monrovia is no exception. The starting point is a free onsite visit at the address, where the ground for the unit is looked at and the layout is talked through. A scope of work in detail is written from it and the estimate is priced against that, also free. Permits are then taken on by the company. Financing is available to homeowners who want it. The work is performed licensed and insured under CSLB #1072368, by a business operating since 2020, and warranted for 5 years.

Monrovia coverage runs across ZIP code 91016. An accessory dwelling unit goes onto ground that already carries a house, so the first thing looked at is the space left on the lot, not the rooms already standing on it.

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.
Yes. We have completed multiple ADU projects in Monrovia. Call (310) 220-0903 to schedule a free onsite visit, or compare public feedback on the customer reviews page.
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 Monrovia page to compare related local services.
Nothing is advertised, because a Monrovia ADU price is assembled from the specification rather than looked up in advance. The size of the unit, detached or attached construction, the utility run distance and the interior finish level all bear on it. The free onsite visit settles the specification, and the written detailed scope of work it produces is what the estimate is prepared against.
Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.
It is a working visit rather than a sales call. The Monrovia property is walked, the intended location of the unit is examined, and the questions that actually shape the job are asked: room count, entrance position, finish level, and how equipment would reach the build area. It costs nothing. The output is a detailed scope of work, written down, which becomes the reference for everything that follows.
Ask for an onsite visit. It is booked at the Monrovia property, it is free, and it is the point where the unit's placement, size and finish are worked out. What comes back is a detailed scope of work in writing, with a remodeling consultation attached. Permit support, financing and the warranty of 5 years are all covered in that document, so the next decision can be made with the facts in hand.
