An accessory dwelling unit is a real second home on the property, not a converted shed, and it gets built like one. The first phase is paper: architectural drawings, structural engineering, and the permit submittal coordinated into one package so the set does not go out in pieces. The second phase is ground: excavation, footings, slab, framing, roof, weatherproofing. The third is service: water supply, waste line, gas where it applies, and an electrical feed sized for a full dwelling rather than a garage. The last is finish: cabinetry, worktops, flooring, tile, doors, paint, fixtures, then the final walkthrough where the punch list is agreed and worked through. Oak Park lots inside 91377 all follow that order.
One phone call or text to (310) 220-0903 sets it moving. The Onsite Visit + Free Estimate that follows includes a detailed scope of work and a remodeling consultation, and both arrive free. The consultation half is the part owners tend to skip past and then wish they had used. It is where layout options, room counts, storage, entry position and finish level get argued out loud while changing them still costs nothing but a conversation. No prices are published on this site for any service. Permits are the builder's job to file. Financing is available if funding a build in one go does not suit. Finished work is covered by a warranty of 5 years, and the contractor is licensed and insured under CSLB #1072368, in business since 2020.

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, and the onsite visit is the right moment to raise it, since it can change how a build gets phased. What it is not is a printed offer with terms sitting on a web page. That conversation happens with you directly, next to the scope of work, so the two line up instead of being settled separately much later on.
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 Oak Park page to compare related local services.
It is not published, and any contractor quoting an accessory dwelling unit without seeing the lot is guessing at your expense. Size, layout, foundation, the length of the utility runs and the finish level you choose are what move it. The free onsite visit and the written scope of work that comes out of it are how the number gets built, line by line.
Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.
A detached unit in the yard leaves the house itself untouched for most of the build, so yes. What you feel is the noise, the fencing and the delivery traffic rather than displacement. Attached units are different, since walls get opened and the work reaches indoors. Utility tie-ins bring short planned outages for water or power whichever route you take, and those are booked with you rather than sprung on you.
