Finish detail is where an accessory dwelling unit either reads as part of the property or reads as an add-on, and that gets decided early rather than at paint stage. Before any of it, plan coordination: architectural drawings, structural engineering and the permit submittal pulled into a single set. Construction runs ground-up from excavation and footings through framing, roof and envelope. The utility tie-ins bring water, waste and an electrical feed with dwelling-level capacity to the unit. Interior finish work then covers cabinetry, worktops, flooring, tile, doors, trim and paint, and the final walkthrough puts the punch list on paper and works through it item by item. Detached and attached builds both run that way.
Call or text (310) 220-0903 to get on the calendar. What comes next is an Onsite Visit + Free Estimate, including a detailed scope of work and a remodeling consultation, both free. Finish specification is set out room by room in that document, from cabinetry and worktops through flooring, tile, doors, trim and paint, because a build where detail matters cannot be described by a single line saying interior finishes. This site publishes no prices, and a headline number would mislead on exactly this kind of work. Permit filing is the builder's responsibility, not the owner's. Financing is available. The finished unit carries a 5 year warranty. Licence CSLB #1072368 belongs to a contractor that is licensed and insured and has been 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.
Yes. We have completed multiple ADU projects in Pasadena. 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.
Yes, permits are handled as part of the job. The drawings, the structural detail and the submittal package are prepared and filed by the builder, and the build programme is written around the approval sequence rather than around wishful thinking. Nobody hands you a folder and wishes you luck. What each step involves for your particular property is covered at the onsite visit.
Not published, and not something to take over the phone from anyone. Size, detached or attached, foundation, the run length for services and the finish level all move the number, and finish level moves it further on a build where trim and detail matter. The free onsite visit produces a written scope of work, and the figure is built from that scope rather than the other way round.
Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.
One call or text to (310) 220-0903, and drawings or a finished idea are not needed to make it. A visit is arranged, the property is walked with you, and the conversation covers siting, size, access and what you want the unit to do. You come away with a detailed scope of work and a remodeling consultation, both free, and the next move is yours.
