Conejo Services:

Keeping Homes—and Communities—Running Smoothly

For nearly 50 years, Conejo Services has been a trusted name for homeowners looking to simplify the way they care for their homes. Founded in Thousand Oaks in 1979, this family-run company was built on a straightforward idea: make home maintenance easier by bringing multiple essential services under one roof. Today, that vision continues to guide the business, offering everything from heating and air conditioning to plumbing, electrical, roofing, insulation, pool services and garage door solutions.

At its core, Conejo Services is about relationships. The company has grown steadily over the decades, not by chasing trends, but by focusing on consistent, dependable service and treating customers like neighbors. Their philosophy—“neighbors helping neighbors”—is more than a slogan, it’s the standard by which every job is done. Whether it’s a routine tune-up or a major installation, the goal is always the same: Do the job right and stand behind the work.

Owner Branden Dickey embodies that philosophy. Having grown up in the business alongside his father, Founder Wally Dickey, Branden learned the trade from the ground up—starting as a child holding a flashlight and eventually becoming a skilled technician. In his 20s, he took over the company and has since transformed it from a modest two-truck operation into a fleet of more than 100 vehicles serving Ventura County and beyond. Despite that growth, the company has stayed true to its roots as a local, family-owned business.

Conejo Services offers a comprehensive range of home services designed to eliminate the need for multiple contractors. Homeowners can rely on the company for HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance; plumbing and rooter services; electrical work such as panel upgrades and EV charger installations; whole-home generators; insulation; roofing and gutters; pool cleaning and equipment repair; and garage door tune-ups, repairs and installations. This “one-call solution” approach is especially appealing to busy homeowners who value convenience and consistency.

Customers consistently highlight the company’s professionalism, honesty and no-pressure approach. Technicians are known for treating each home with care and respect, taking the time to clearly explain options so homeowners can make informed decisions. This level of transparency has helped build a strong referral base and long-standing trust within the community.

Like many growing service companies, Conejo Services faces the challenge of finding and developing skilled professionals who share its commitment to quality and customer care. In response, the company invests heavily in training and supporting its team, ensuring that every technician upholds the high standards customers have come to expect. This focus not only strengthens the business but also contributes to the broader need for skilled trades in the region.

Beyond business, Conejo Services is deeply rooted in community involvement. Under Branden Dickey’s leadership, the company has become a significant local employer, creating stable, well-paying jobs while helping train the next generation of tradespeople. His vision extends beyond home services—he aims to build a company that actively strengthens the community it serves.

That commitment is also reflected in his personal life. Branden and his wife, Jamie, founded the Branden & Jamie Dickey Family Foundation to support children facing serious medical challenges. Inspired by their family’s experiences with Type 1 diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and vitiligo, the foundation focuses on making a meaningful difference for local families in need.

Conejo Services also offers a variety of specials designed to make home maintenance more accessible. First-time customers can choose a complimentary service, including dryer vent cleaning, a water heater flush, a furnace safety check or a roof checkup. Additional offers include garage door tune-ups for $87 per door (regularly $129), a free first month of weekly pool cleaning and $87 AC tune-ups to prepare for the summer heat.

With 24/7/365 availability, a wide range of services and a commitment to both customers and community, Conejo Services continues to make homeownership simpler and more manageable.
