Converting an attached garage and building a detached unit in the yard are different jobs wearing the same name. A conversion is the attached form of the work, shaped inside a building that already stands rather than raised from scratch, and the effort goes into how the finished layout will be used. A detached build starts from bare ground with its own footings, framing and envelope. Both need the same plan coordination up front, the same permit package, the same utility tie-ins for water, waste and power, and the same interior finish sequence through cabinetry, flooring and paint. Both end with a final walkthrough and a punch list closed in writing.
Dial or text (310) 220-0903 and the next thing on the calendar is an Onsite Visit + Free Estimate, which includes a detailed scope of work and a remodeling consultation. A conversion and a ground-up unit read very differently in that document. One is weighted toward insulation, structural openings and bringing an existing shell up to standard; the other is weighted toward excavation, footings and a new frame. Seeing which shape your job actually is, in writing, is the point of the visit. Both halves are free. There is no price list on this site. Permits are filed by the builder. Financing is available. Completed work is covered by a warranty of 5 years. CSLB #1072368 is the licence, and the contractor is licensed and insured, in business since 2020.
Reseda area
An ADU is drawn around the lot before it is drawn around the house: where a detached unit lands, how the water and power runs reach it, which wall an attached unit ties into. Sherman Way is one of the landmarks named in Reseda. Ground up construction, utility tie ins and a final walkthrough sit inside that one build.
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 Reseda. 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 Reseda page to compare related local services.
It is not published. A garage conversion and a ground-up detached unit sit at different points on the range, and within either one the size, the structural work, the service runs and the finish level move the number further. The free onsite visit and the detailed scope of work that comes with it are how a figure gets built for your property specifically.
Yes. Licensed and insured, licence CSLB #1072368, and the number is on the state register for anyone who wants to look it up. On a garage conversion that matters as much as on a new build, because the work is structural even though the shell already exists, and the result is a legal dwelling rather than a finished storage room.
Water, waste and an electrical feed are carried to the unit as part of the build, and on a Reseda garage conversion that side of the job is planned no differently from a detached one. The runs are set out at the drawing stage and installed as part of the work, with gas included where the layout calls for it. Joining the new lines to the existing ones brings short interruptions to the main house, arranged with you in advance.
