Built For Here

Made For The Conejo Valley Climate

An outdoor space here faces conditions a covered porch in a milder climate never will. Consequently, material choices that look identical in a showroom perform very differently after three Westlake Village summers.

Relentless SunUV fades and dries out the wrong decking within a few seasons. We specify materials that hold their color under real exposure.
Surface HeatSome pavers and composites get too hot to walk on barefoot in August. Color and material choice matter more than most people expect.
Fire-Wise MaterialsMany hillside parcels here sit in higher fire severity areas, where ember-resistant materials and detailing are worth specifying.
Winter RunoffRain arrives all at once. Without real drainage design, a beautiful patio becomes a place water collects against your foundation.
Slope And SoilHillside lots need proper footings and retaining. Skipping that is why some decks and walls start moving after a few years.
Water-Wise PlantingLayouts that reduce thirsty lawn area cost less to run and look better through a dry summer.

Fire-resistant construction requirements vary by parcel and are updated periodically. We confirm the current requirements for your specific property during your free consultation.

Budget & Timeline

What A Backyard Remodel Costs In Westlake Village

Most contractors will not discuss numbers until they are standing in your yard. We think that wastes your time. Below are the ranges we typically see for Westlake Village and Conejo Valley backyards, with realistic timelines from demolition to final walkthrough.

Project Type Typical Investment Typical Timeline What Drives The Range
Deck Rebuild & Waterproofing $15,000 - $45,000 2 to 4 weeks Existing framing condition, membrane system and railing selection
New Deck, 200 to 400 sq ft $25,000 - $65,000 3 to 5 weeks Height off grade, footing depth, decking material and railing

What Fails First

Drainage And Waterproofing, Done Properly

Almost every outdoor space we are called to repair failed for the same two reasons. Water went where it should not have gone, or the structure was never built to carry what was put on it. Neither failure shows up in year one. Both show up eventually.

So we build from the substrate up. Decks and balconies get a proper membrane, correct slope and sealed penetrations before any decking goes down. Patios get grading and drainage that carries winter runoff away from your foundation rather than toward it.

  • Deck and balcony waterproofing installed to specification, which clients single out in their reviews.
  • Positive drainage designed into every hardscape surface, not added later when a problem appears.
  • Proper footings sized for the structure and the soil, particularly on the hillside lots common here.
  • Permits handled for decks, patio covers and outdoor structures that require them.
  • HOA design review managed for North Ranch, First Neighborhood and Westlake Island properties.

Why Us

Why Westlake Village Homeowners Choose Maya

Plenty of companies will build you a deck. Here is what makes working with a licensed general contractor different from hiring a landscaper with a saw.

01

Waterproofing Is Our Reputation

Clients name our porch and deck waterproofing in their reviews. That is the part nobody sees, which is exactly why it is the part worth getting right.

02

We Are Licensed To Build

Covers, structures and anything attached to your house need permits and engineering. As a licensed general contractor, we handle that rather than working around it.

03

Inside And Outside Match

Because we also remodel interiors, we specify outdoor finishes that relate to the rooms they open from. The result reads as one house, not two projects.

04

We Listen To The Yard

One client wrote that we listened to her concerns and gave options that fit her needs. On a backyard, how you actually use the space matters more than any trend.

05

Pricing You Can Read

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.

06

Licensed, Insured, Documented

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.

Before You Start

Questions Worth Answering First

Backyards go wrong when they are designed around photos rather than around how the family actually lives. These six questions keep the project honest. We work through all of them with you at no cost.

How will you really use it?

Hosting twenty people twice a year and eating dinner outside four nights a week call for very different layouts. Design for the frequent thing, not the rare one.

Where does the sun land?

A west-facing patio is unusable at six in the evening without shade. Knowing your sun path decides where the cover goes long before it decides how it looks.

Where does water go now?

If any part of the yard puddles in winter, that has to be solved first. Building a beautiful surface over a drainage problem only hides it for a season.

How far are gas and power?

An outdoor kitchen or fire feature needs utilities run to it. Trenching distance across a finished yard is a real cost worth knowing up front.

How much upkeep do you want?

Natural wood looks wonderful and needs regular attention. Composite and stone cost more initially and ask far less of you afterward.

What is your real number?

Tell us the budget you actually have, not the one you think we want to hear. Then we phase it sensibly if needed, instead of overreaching and stopping halfway.
