An accessory dwelling unit is a full dwelling, and the build list runs longer than people expect. Drawings and structural engineering are coordinated with the permit submittal so one package goes out rather than three. Then the ground work: excavation, footings, slab, framing, roof and weather envelope. Then the services: a water supply, a waste line, an electrical feed with real capacity behind it, gas where the design uses it. Then the inside: insulation, drywall, cabinetry, worktops, flooring, tile, doors, paint and fixtures. A final walkthrough closes it, with a punch list written down in front of you and each item signed off before the keys change hands. Detached or attached, the order holds.
A call or a text to (310) 220-0903 books the first step, an Onsite Visit + Free Estimate that includes a detailed scope of work and a remodeling consultation. Read the exclusions as carefully as the inclusions. What a document leaves out is where surprises live, so the written scope names the boundary explicitly instead of trailing off, and anything outside it is discussed before it becomes an invoice. Neither the visit nor the estimate costs you anything. No accessory dwelling unit price is published on this site. Permits are filed by the builder. Financing is available. A warranty of 5 years covers the completed build. The licence is CSLB #1072368, held by a contractor that is licensed and insured and has been in business since 2020.
Pacoima area
An accessory dwelling unit is drawn for one address, not for a neighborhood. Pacoima sits under a single ZIP code, 91331, and San Fernando Gardens is one of the names on its map. A garage conversion and a detached new build are different projects, and which one fits is decided at the property itself.
Neighborhoods served: Hansen Dam adjacent blocks, San Fernando Gardens, Pacoima Wash corridor.

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. What that means in practice gets settled in conversation rather than on a web page: no rates and no terms are posted here. Raise it at the onsite visit, because how a build is funded can change how it is phased, and phasing belongs in the scope of work rather than bolted on afterwards as a correction.
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 Pacoima page to compare related local services.
There is no published figure, here or anywhere on the site. What decides it is the unit's footprint, whether it stands separate from the house, what the foundation has to be, the length of the service runs, and the finishes you pick. The free onsite visit ends with a detailed scope of work, and that document is where a real number comes from rather than a guess.
Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.
The visit costs nothing and neither does what it produces, which is two things. A detailed scope of work that spells out what is being built, the order the trades arrive in and what is excluded, and a remodeling consultation where the options get talked through properly. An accessory dwelling unit is a permitted dwelling, so the builder's filing of those permits is settled at the same table, along with how the build can be funded and the warranty of 5 years that runs from handover.
