The decision that drives everything is detached or attached. A detached unit is a small house: its own slab, its own framing, its own roof and envelope, connected back to the main property by service lines. An attached one borrows walls and structure from the house, so the existing frame gets engineered before anything new is drawn. Plan coordination assembles the architectural set, the structural calculations and the submittal documents together. Construction runs ground-up from excavation through framing and roofing. Utility tie-ins bring water, waste, gas and power to the unit. Interior finish work delivers kitchen, bath, flooring and paint, and a final walkthrough leaves a punch list closed rather than pending.
Reach the office on (310) 220-0903, by call or by text, and an Onsite Visit + Free Estimate follows, including detailed scope of work and remodeling consultation. If you are collecting bids, compare the scopes rather than the totals. A number that looks lower usually turns out to have less inside it, and the only way to see that is line by line, which is exactly what the written document is for. Nothing is asked of you for the visit or the estimate. The builder files the permits. Financing is available for owners who want it. Work is covered by a warranty of 5 years. CSLB #1072368 is the licence, the contractor is licensed and insured, and over 580 homeowners served since 2020 sit behind that record.
Northridge area
Sherwood Forest, Northridge East and the CSUN adjacent blocks are the neighborhood names in play here. The client's own note reads: Northridge lots often support ADU, addition, and full remodel planning with clear access for crews. A detached unit leans on that line harder than anything else, since a second structure is built at the back of the property out of material that has to arrive there.
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.

Answers to the most common questions about this service in your area.
Yes. We have completed multiple ADU projects in Northridge. 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 Northridge page to compare related local services.
No figure is published, on this page or anywhere else on the site. The variables that decide it are the unit's size, whether it stands alone or leans on the house, how deep the foundation has to go, and how far the service runs reach. The free onsite visit produces a detailed scope of work, and the scope is what a real number is built on.
Yes, licensed and insured, with the licence recorded as CSLB #1072368. Checking a number takes a minute and is worth doing for every contractor you speak to. A second dwelling is not a cosmetic project: it is permanent, it is inspected, and it changes what your property legally contains. Anyone reluctant to hand a licence number over has answered a different question.
Call or text (310) 220-0903 and say what you are picturing, even loosely. A visit gets booked, someone walks the property with you, and the conversation covers where a unit could go, what size makes sense, and what finish level you have in mind. You leave that meeting with a detailed scope of work and a remodeling consultation, at no cost, and you decide from there.
