Women Led Design Build
Designers and builders work on one team, so the plan you sign off on is the one our crew follows on site.
A design build team for Reseda ranch houses that need more room, newer systems and a layout that fits the family living there now.
Reseda grew up fast after World War II, when orange groves and walnut orchards in the middle of the San Fernando Valley were subdivided into blocks of single story ranch houses. A few older homes from the 1920s and 1930s still stand southwest of Sherman Way and Reseda Boulevard and around Reseda Ranch. Most houses here are honest, practical buildings that now need bigger bathrooms, a kitchen that opens up and wiring that can carry a modern household.
Construction by Maya, founded by Hila Hemo, runs design and construction as one women led company out of Calabasas, a short drive east on the 101. We draw the plans, carry them through City of Los Angeles review and build the work with our own supervision, so a single team answers for the result. Next door in Lake Balboa, we built a single story room addition on the same kind of Valley floor lot.
The same in house team covers all six services. Pick the one closest to your plans for a closer look at what it involves on a Reseda lot.
Rework the narrow ranch kitchen between the garage and dining room into an open, well ventilated room with real counter space.
Replace the original 1950s hall bath and the half bath off the primary bedroom with waterproofed showers and proper exhaust fans.
Convert the garage or build a backyard unit for parents, grown children or a tenant, with the utility upgrades a Reseda lot usually needs.
Single story bedroom, family room and suite additions that carry the low ranch roofline across the back of the house.
A coordinated rebuild of layout, wiring, plumbing and insulation for homes that have had little work since they were built.
Patio covers, pergolas and rebuilt patios that make a flat Reseda backyard usable through hot August afternoons.
Reseda is a neighborhood of working households, multigenerational families and first time owners who bought a ranch house with plans to grow into it. We keep our scopes honest and our budgets realistic for that kind of project.
Designers and builders work on one team, so the plan you sign off on is the one our crew follows on site.
California license #1034501, with general liability and workers comp insurance carried on every Reseda job.
Our Calabasas office sits close by, which keeps site visits, measurements and quick decisions easy to schedule.
You see every line item and a realistic schedule before work starts, so there are no vague allowances to argue about later.
Reseda permits come from the city, not the county. Our team assembles the LADBS submittal and is on site for every inspection.
Only a handful of houses are under construction with us at any time, which keeps your job from sliding down a list.
Reseda households often hold more than one generation. Grandparents help with school pickup, adult children save for their own place, and cousins stay for a season. Many ranch houses here have a garage and a flat backyard with nothing built on it, which gives you real options: convert the garage, add a detached unit, carve a junior ADU out of an existing bedroom or extend the house itself.
California ADU law and City of Los Angeles rules allow more on a typical Reseda parcel than many owners expect, and the LADBS standard plan program can shorten the design stage for some lots. Before you pay for drawings, we check setbacks, the sewer line, the electrical service and how a second household would come and go. Then we price the options side by side so the decision is based on numbers.
Send us your Reseda address and a few photos of the garage and backyard. We will tell you which paths look realistic for your lot and roughly how they compare, before you commit to anything.
Book A Free ConsultationWe work on houses across Reseda, from the blocks north of Roscoe Boulevard down to the streets near Victory Boulevard and Reseda Park, and in neighboring Lake Balboa.
Five stages take you from a first conversation to a finished home. You always know which stage you are in, what comes next and what we need from you.
We walk the house and yard with you, listen to how the household runs and talk openly about budget and timing.
Our designers sketch the layout options, then narrow finishes and fixtures with you until the plan feels right.
We complete construction drawings, coordinate any engineering and take the set through LADBS plan check.
One project manager runs the site, keeps it clean and safe for your family and sends regular progress updates.
Together we check each finish and fixture, clear the last items and obtain final sign off, which puts the work on the city's record.
A Reseda ranch house can change a lot without losing what you like about it. You might open the kitchen to the living room, turn the half bath into a full primary bath or build a cottage behind the house for a parent. Home remodeling in Reseda works best when the plan follows the people who live there.
Letting a crew into your home is a leap of faith. Our reviews come from Valley households who describe how we kept them informed, protected their houses and left the site clean.
Short answers to what Reseda owners ask before they start a remodel, an addition or an ADU.
The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, because Reseda sits inside city limits. Our team handles the plans, the applications and the inspection visits.
Many can, either as a garage conversion, a junior ADU inside the house or a detached unit in the backyard. We confirm setbacks, utilities and access for your address at the consultation.
Common finds include galvanized water lines, a small electrical service and little insulation. We open a few areas early and price those upgrades up front.
It depends on how much room you are missing and what the lot allows. We price both paths so you can compare them side by side.
Yes. Our portfolio includes a room addition in Lake Balboa, and we serve Reseda, Tarzana, Encino and the rest of the Valley.
