Women-Led & Design-Forward
A boutique studio where design and build live under one roof, so your vision is protected from first sketch to final reveal.
Coastal-smart design-build remodeling and high-demand ADUs for Santa Monica homes.
Santa Monica's charm lives in its older Craftsman and Spanish bungalows, its walkable neighborhoods, and its coastal light — and its homeowners want remodels that honor that character while adding modern comfort. Construction by Maya brings a boutique, women-led approach to Santa Monica renovations, from period-sensitive kitchen and bath remodels to full transformations.
With Santa Monica's strong rental market, ADUs are one of the smartest moves a homeowner can make here. We design and build detached ADUs and garage conversions that generate income or house family — permitted and built for coastal conditions.
