Branden Dickey is the owner and CEO of Conejo Services, where he’s built a legacy of excellence in home services across Ventura County, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.
Branden’s entrepreneurial journey began as a child, fixing microwaves and refrigerators alongside his father, Wally Dickey, developing both technical skills and a deep understanding of customer service that would shape his future business philosophy.
At just 25 years old, Branden took over the family business, Conejo Valley Heating and Air, Inc., and transformed through his commitment to white-glove customer service. Under his leadership, the company evolved from a two-truck operation into a fleet of 100+ vehicles with expanded service divisions, including plumbing and rooter, electrical, generators, insulation, and roofing services in addition to heating and air conditioning.
Driven by his vision to service the whole home, Branden folded roofing into the Conejo Services family in 2025, exemplifying his ability to identify growth opportunities while maintaining the personal touch and quality service that have been hallmarks of his business approach since childhood.
As a lifelong Ventura County resident, Branden continues to demonstrate how local roots, combined with innovative business strategies and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, can build thriving companies that serve and enhance our amazing communities.
