Leawood Expertise
Building Considerations in Leawood & Johnson County
Our Leawood-area projects span both ground-up custom construction on remaining estate lots and detailed renovations of established homes near Town Center Plaza and throughout the city’s residential neighborhoods, all run by a single accountable project management team from initial budget through final walkthrough. Leawood’s HOA architectural requirements and municipal design standards are some of the most detailed in Johnson County, and we confirm what applies to your specific property before design begins rather than discovering a conflict mid-project.
Because so much of Leawood is already built out, we also treat renovation work as a first-class part of our business here, not a fallback when a lot isn’t available — a kitchen reconfigured for open entertaining, a primary suite added or rebuilt, or a lower level finished into genuine living space are all projects we take on with the same design-build accountability as a ground-up custom home.

Leawood — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hickok Homes build custom homes in Leawood?
Yes. We build ground-up custom homes on Leawood’s remaining estate and infill lots, holding the same design-build standard we apply across Johnson County.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Leawood?
Most fully custom homes in the area take 10 to 16 months to construct once permits are issued, depending on size, site conditions, and finish level.
Does Hickok Homes handle renovations as well as new construction in Leawood?
Yes. With much of Leawood already built out, renovation work — kitchens, primary suites, and lower-level finish-outs — is just as central to our business here as ground-up building.
Does Hickok Homes handle HOA architectural review in Leawood?
Yes. Leawood’s HOA and municipal design standards are some of the most detailed in Johnson County, and we confirm what applies to your specific property before finalizing a design.
Is it difficult to find a buildable lot in Leawood?
Many of Leawood’s most desirable lots are already built on, so new ground-up opportunities are more limited than in some neighboring communities. We help clients evaluate the infill and estate lots that are available before they commit to a purchase.
Can you finish a basement as part of a renovation?
Yes. Finishing a lower level to add genuine living space is one of the most common renovation requests we see in Leawood.
Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect?
Yes. We partner with independent architects and designers, coordinating construction documents and permitting around a design already underway.
Do you build or renovate near Town Center Plaza as well as in residential neighborhoods?
Yes. We take on both residential projects throughout Leawood’s neighborhoods and commercial and tenant-improvement work connected to the Town Center Plaza corridor.
What other Johnson County communities does Hickok Homes serve?
We build and renovate throughout Johnson County, including Overland Park, Prairie Village, and Mission, as well as in Kansas City and our Scottsdale, Arizona market.
Does Hickok Homes offer a warranty on new construction and remodeling work?
Yes. Every project is backed by a written workmanship warranty, and major systems carry their own manufacturer warranties as well.
