The roof is the part of the house that leaves. Taking it off is the point of no return in a vertical build, so everything before it is preparation: the structural set, the reinforcement drawn into the walls and footings below, the material on site, and temporary protection for what is open. Framing then goes up quickly by comparison, the new roof closes the house again, and the exterior tie-ins join the two levels in a single finish. Stair access and the upstairs layout are settled in the same drawings, because the stairwell cuts through framing on both floors. On a 91604 property that whole order is written down before the first day.
The onsite visit is a survey as much as a sales call. Someone looks at the existing framing, the roof structure, the foundation where it can be seen, and how the property is reached, then writes the scope of work from that rather than from a template. It is booked on (310) 220-0903 and it is the Onsite Visit + Free Estimate, including detailed scope of work and remodeling consultation, with no price attached to either half. Permits are handled by the builder, plan review through inspection. Financing is available, completed work carries a warranty of 5 years, and CSLB #1072368 belongs to a contractor licensed and insured and 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.

Second-Story Additions in Studio City - common questions
Answers to the most common questions about this service in your area.
Yes. We have completed multiple Second-Story Additions projects in Studio City. Call (310) 220-0903 to schedule a free onsite visit, or compare public feedback on the customer reviews page.
The work is staged, and the stages are fixed: drawings and structural set, permit package, opening the roof, framing, closing in, rough plumbing and electrical, inspections, finishes, walkthrough. None of them can jump ahead of the one before. What a particular house takes is set out in the written scope after the onsite visit, against the real building rather than an average.
Second-story additions require structural permits and we coordinate the plan review and inspection sequence throughout the project. You can also step back to the main Studio City page to compare related local services.
There is no published price. The number turns on the reinforcement the existing structure needs before it can carry a floor, the size of that floor, the roof replacement, the stair, the services extended upward, and the finish. Access to the property is part of it too. The free onsite visit produces the written scope, and the figure comes with it.
Yes. CA Contractor License #1072368. Fully insured for liability and workers compensation. The public record is on the CSLB lookup.
