Access decides a great deal on a Palisades build, and the drawings have to answer it before the first delivery arrives. An accessory dwelling unit can be detached or attached, and either way the sequence is fixed: plan coordination and the permit set first, then ground-up construction, then the tie-ins, then finishes. Ground-up means excavation and footings, a slab or a raised foundation, framing, roof and envelope. Tie-ins mean a water supply, a waste line, and an electrical feed sized for a dwelling. Finish work covers kitchen, bathroom, flooring, doors and paint, with protection kept on the existing house throughout. The final walkthrough is where the punch list gets written, agreed and closed.
Start with a call or a text to (310) 220-0903. An Onsite Visit + Free Estimate follows, and it includes a detailed scope of work and a remodeling consultation. Protection and staging are written into that document rather than assumed: where material is set down, what gets covered, how the finished parts of the house are kept out of the working area. Owners who have lived through a build know those lines matter. Nothing on this site carries a published price. The builder handles permit filing. Financing is available. Completed work comes with a warranty of 5 years. The contractor is licensed and insured, licence CSLB #1072368, in business since 2020, with over 580 completed projects on the record.
Pacific Palisades area
An ADU is a second structure set on a lot that already holds a house, so reaching the build spot is a problem to solve before anything else. Hillside or coastal access planning carries the weight on that kind of job, and careful staging gets decided at the same time. Pacific Palisades falls under ZIP code 90272.

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 Pacific Palisades. 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 Pacific Palisades page to compare related local services.
No price is published for this or any other service on the site. On an accessory dwelling unit the drivers are size, whether the unit is detached, the foundation the ground calls for, how far services have to be carried, and how much protection and staging the property needs. The free onsite visit and the detailed scope of work that follows are what produce an actual figure.
Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.
A written scope of work, broken down rather than summarised: what gets built, in what order, which trades are involved and where the boundaries sit. Alongside it comes a remodeling consultation, so the choices in front of you are talked through instead of listed. The onsite visit and the estimate are both free, and permits, financing and the warranty of 5 years are covered in the same conversation.
The new unit needs its own water supply, its own waste connection and an electrical feed with enough capacity behind it, and on a sloping property the routes those take are set at the drawing stage rather than discovered later. Gas is added where the design calls for it. The connections are made as part of the build, with short planned interruptions to the main house arranged with you first.
