Women-Led Construction By Maya Expands Boutique Remodeling Services Across The San Fernando And Conejo Valleys

Construction by Maya, founded by Hila Hemo, expands across San Fernando Valley, Conejo Valley, and West Los Angeles. The Calabasas firm (CA License #1034501) offers free consultations for kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, room additions, complete home remodels, and ADU projects. Women-led and part of an estimated 13% of construction businesses nationally. CALABASAS, CA – September 08, 2026 – In an industry where women hold roughly 11 percent of jobs and own an estimated 13 percent of firms, Construction by Maya is expanding its boutique residential construction services across the San Fernando Valley, Conejo Valley, and West Los Angeles. The Calabasas-based company, founded and led by Hila Hemo and operating under California contractor License #1034501, announces expanded availability of complimentary in-person and virtual consultations for kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, room additions, complete home remodels, and ADU projects. The expansion reflects steady demand from homeowners who want a construction partner rather than a project they have to manage themselves. Construction by Maya was built on the premise that residential construction should feel organized, respectful, and collaborative, and that most of the friction homeowners experience comes from unclear scopes and inconsistent communication rather than from the work itself. A Sector Where Women Remain Underrepresented National workforce data underscores how unusual a woman-founded, woman-led general contracting firm still is. Analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data by the National Association of Home Builders found women made up 11.2 percent of the construction workforce in 2024, the highest share in two decades, with roughly 1.34 million women employed in the industry. Of those, about 521,000 held management, professional, and related roles, though women accounted for only 18 percent of all management positions. Industry estimates place women-owned firms at approximately 13 percent of construction businesses nationally. The Institute for Women's Policy Research reported that women's share of construction jobs edged up to 11.3 percent in 2025, while the estimated number of women construction managers fell by close to 30,000 year over year, a reminder that gains in leadership representation remain fragile. 'We did not set out to be a statistic; we set out to run a company that returns phone calls and finishes what it starts,' said Hila Hemo, founder of Construction by Maya. 'But the numbers do explain why clients notice. Many of the women who hire us have managed a renovation before and spent the whole project chasing information. They come to us wanting the opposite of that experience.' Structure as the Differentiator Construction by Maya positions its process rather than its price as the reason clients choose it. Every project runs through four defined stages, and the company documents scope in writing before work begins. • Consultation and alignment. A thorough first conversation covering vision, lifestyle, goals, design direction, budget considerations, and project priorities. • Planning and scope definition. Clearly defined project scope, realistic timelines, material selection guidance, and transparent pricing, all documented in advance. • Execution and ongoing communication. Regular progress updates and proactive handling of challenges as they surface, rather than after they become delays. • Completion and confidence. A detailed final walkthrough confirming the finished work meets both the company's standards and the client's. The company describes its operating philosophy in terms of clear scopes and realistic timelines, transparent pricing and expectations, proactive communication, and respect for the client's home, schedule, and decisions. Who the Company Works With Construction by Maya works largely with women in leadership roles, including executives, founders, and investors, along with busy professionals who value clarity over chaos and homeowners seeking a boutique construction experience. The common thread is a client who wants a partner handling coordination, permitting, and trade management rather than a contractor who leaves those responsibilities on the homeowner's desk. 'We do not rely on bravado or over-promising,' Hemo said. 'We rely on preparation, experience, and systems that protect our clients' time, investment, and peace of mind. Great construction is not only about how a project looks when it is finished. It is about how it feels while it is happening.' Recent Work Across the Region The company's recent portfolio spans custom ADUs in Calabasas, Woodland Hills, and Encino, a room addition in Lake Balboa, a full interior remodel in Woodland Hills, and a kitchen renovation in Los Alamitos. ADU and garage conversion work has grown into a significant share of the pipeline as California ADU rules have made backyard units substantially easier to permit and build. Sustainability is also part of the company's standard approach, with energy-efficient solutions and modern materials incorporated wherever a project allows. Full Range of Residential Services Construction by Maya offers a complete residential construction and remodeling service line: • Kitchen remodeling, including layout planning, cabinetry, and material selection • Bathroom remodeling and spa-style renovations • Complete home remodeling and full interior renovations • Room additions and home extensions • ADUs, tiny homes, and garage conversions • Project management, including contracts, permits, scheduling, budgeting, detailed invoicing, and inspection and quality assurance The company guides clients through design planning, layout decisions, and material selection so the finished result is both functional and visually cohesive.
