Danny and his team did a wonderful job remodeling our backyard! The project included new concrete, artificial turf, and a beautiful custom patio. We are extremely happy with the results and truly appreciate the quality of the work and attention to detail.
We highly recommend Danny and his company to anyone looking for a professional and reliable team for a backyard renovation!

We had an excellent experience with Danny and My Cali Builders installing artificial turf at our rental property in Thousand Oaks.
What made this project especially important to us was that we managed the entire job remotely from our home in Northern California. Danny made that process remarkably easy. He communicated consistently, answered every question thoroughly, sent frequent photos and videos, and kept us informed throughout the preparation and installation. We never felt out of the loop.
The quality of the work was outstanding. Their team removed the existing decomposed granite, properly prepared and graded the area, installed and compacted a base, added the weed barrier, carefully laid and trimmed the turf around curved borders and existing stepping stones, secured the edges and seams, applied the upgraded zeolite infill, and power-broomed the finished surface. They clearly cared about the details—not just whether it looks good on installation day.
Danny also stood out during the bidding process. We received several quotes, and he was transparent about the exact turf product, specifications, backing, base preparation, and infill options. He did not simply recommend the most expensive upgrade. Instead, he explained what he believed was the best balance of durability, appearance, and long-term value for a family rental property. That honesty gave us a great deal of confidence.
The finished yard looks great. The turf has a lush, natural appearance, the curved edges and transitions were handled beautifully, and the existing pavers, mature landscaping, and black lava-rock planter areas were preserved and integrated very well. Most importantly, our tenants are thrilled with the result, and so are we.
Danny and his crew were professional, responsive, easy to work with, and clearly took pride in doing a quality job. Managing a major landscaping project from several hundred miles away could have been stressful, but they made it straightforward and reassuring.
We would absolutely recommend My Cali Builders to anyone considering artificial turf or outdoor improvements. They earned every one of these five stars.

I had a great experience working with this contracting company on remodeling my office, kitchen, as well as adding a brand new conference room!! We are very happy! From the beginning, they were easy to work with, listened to what I wanted, and communicated thoroughly throughout the entire project. Almost seemingly effortless and clean. Not once did I feel like I needed to ask questions. They were also so quick and efficient!
The quality of their work turned out really incredibly as well, including small details like cleaning the glass windows after install and sweeping up small pieces of drywall. We are so impressed!
Overall, I'm very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to to my friends and family on any contracting project they may need in the future.
Thanks again for all the hard work!

After being treated badly by two previous contractors and wasting a significant amount of money on work that added little value to our properties, we knew we couldn't afford another mistake.
Ironically, both of those contractors had been recommended by people we knew. That experience taught us an important lesson: we needed to do our own research and find someone we could truly trust.
Danny was actually my favorite candidate from the beginning when I started collecting bids in late 2023. His quote wasn't the cheapest, and at first I questioned the price. Later, Danny explained something he called the "salami tactic." Some contractors intentionally submit low bids by leaving out critical work that inexperienced homeowners don't know to ask for. Those missing items eventually become expensive change orders, and the surprises never seem to end.
We experienced exactly that. One previous contractor knew our electrical system couldn't support the appliances we planned to install, yet he simply said, "Anything you want." The project looked good on the surface, but it wasn't done properly. We eventually had to open finished walls again just to upgrade the electrical system.
What I appreciate most about Danny is his honesty. He never told us what we wanted to hear just to win the job. He explained what actually needed to be done, why it mattered, and what could happen if shortcuts were taken. Sometimes those conversations weren't easy, but looking back, he was protecting our investment, not trying to increase the bill.
Throughout the project, Danny communicated clearly, answered every question patiently, and treated our renovation as if it were his own. When unexpected issues came up--as they often do in a 100-year-old building--he didn't disappear or make excuses. He solved them.
Even after the project was substantially completed, he came back to address the remaining punch-list items. That level of responsibility is rare.
Today we have a duplex we're truly proud of, and more importantly, we have confidence that it was built correctly and safely.
If you're looking for the lowest bid, Danny may not always be your contractor. But if you're looking for honesty, integrity, craftsmanship, and someone who genuinely cares about your project, I can recommend Danny and the entire MY CALI BUILDERS team without hesitation.
After everything we've experienced over the past few years, earning our trust was not easy. Danny and his team earned it.
