Kitchen Remodel
Construction by Maya is a women-led, boutique construction company serving Westlake Village, transforming kitchens, bathrooms, ADUs and whole homes with trust, care and precision. Licensed general contractor #1034501.
Thousand Oaks was largely built between the 1960s and the 1990s, and that shapes almost every project we take on here. Closed-off kitchens, original panels, small primary bathrooms, and generous lots that the family never quite figured out how to use. The bones are good. The layouts are forty years behind how people live now.
Founder Hila Hemo leads our boutique, family-run team. First, we listen to what is actually frustrating you. Then our general contractor team handles planning, permits and construction. Finally, we walk every detail with you before calling it done. Above all, pricing stays clear at every step.
We build our services on trust, care and quality. Moreover, as a full-service general contractor in Thousand Oaks, we manage every trade under one roof. So you get one team, one plan and one clear point of contact.

These ranges reflect typical Thousand Oaks and Conejo Valley project scopes. They are a planning guide, not a quote. After we walk your home, you receive a written, itemized price with no hidden allowances.
Our process as a construction company in Thousand Oaks stays simple, transparent and collaborative. First, we listen. Then, we plan every detail with you. Because of this, you feel confident from the first call to the final reveal.
First, we meet at your Thousand Oaks home. We learn your vision, lifestyle, goals and budget.
Next, we define the scope in detail. You get realistic timelines, material guidance and clear pricing in writing.
Then our crew builds with precision. Meanwhile, you receive regular updates and open communication.
Finally, we complete a careful walkthrough together. Every detail must meet our high standards, and yours.
Thousand Oaks has one requirement most neighboring cities do not. The city protects its oaks, and work near a protected tree can call for a separate permit and an arborist report. A root zone reaches well past the canopy, so it often limits exactly the part of the property you were planning to build on.
Add hillside lots in Lynn Ranch and Conejo Oaks, where grading and access shape the budget, plus active HOA design review in the newer communities, and approvals decide your start date. We resolve all of it at design stage rather than at plan check.
Tree, hillside and zoning requirements vary by parcel and are updated periodically. We confirm the current rules for your property during your free consultation.
Send us your address and the year the house was built. We will tell you what is realistic for your lot, your trees and your budget before you commit to anything.
Book A Free ConsultationOur construction company serves homeowners across Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley. Also, as a local general contractor, we know the tree ordinance, HOA rules and city permits well. As a result, your project keeps moving without delays.
Photos say more than any promise. Here is a look at recent work from our team across Thousand Oaks, Calabasas and the wider Conejo Valley.
A renovation opens up more than most homeowners expect. For example, one wall can change how the whole ground floor feels, and one unused garage can become an income unit. As a trusted general contractor in Thousand Oaks, we turn those ideas into reality.
There is no shortage of contractors in the Conejo Valley. Here is what makes working with a small, owner-run team different.
Soffits, undersized panels and load-bearing walls repeat across Thousand Oaks by decade. Because we have opened these houses before, fewer things surprise us mid-build.
Tree permits, hillside review and HOA design boards all sit on your critical path. We plan around them from day one rather than discovering them at plan check.
Hila and Moses are on your project, not a rotating cast of managers. The person who quotes your job is the person who answers your call in week seven.
Our estimates itemize labor, materials and allowances line by line. As a result, you know what a change order costs before you approve it, and surprises stay off your invoice.
Floor protection, dust barriers and daily cleanup are standard. Above all, we remember you are still living in the house while we work in it.
License #1034501, general liability and workers compensation on every job. In addition, we provide current certificates before work starts, without you having to ask twice.
Our reputation as a construction company rests on trust and care. Above all, we deliver on our promises. So read what homeowners across Thousand Oaks, Calabasas and the Conejo Valley say about our team.
The homeowners with the smoothest projects are the ones who thought through these six things before the first bid. We will work through all of them with you at your consultation, at no cost.
It tells us more than almost anything else. Wiring, panel size, soffits and structure all follow the decade, and each affects what your project will cost.
Oaks shape what can be built and where, and their root zones reach further than most people expect. Worth knowing before you picture anything in a specific spot.
A cramped kitchen and a dated kitchen call for very different budgets. Naming the real frustration first keeps the scope honest and stops it growing sideways.
Older Conejo Valley homes often need a service upgrade before an ADU, an induction range or new HVAC. Better to price that now than discover it mid-build.
Most kitchen and bathroom projects are livable with planning. Whole-house remodels usually are not. We set that expectation before demolition, not after.
Tell us the budget you actually have, not the one you think we want to hear. Then we design to it honestly, instead of value-engineering under pressure later.
