Building Considerations in Prairie Village
Most of our Prairie Village projects are renovations and additions to homes built in the 1950s and 60s, run by a single accountable project management team from initial budget through final walkthrough. Because so many of these homes share a similar era of construction, we start every project with a careful assessment of electrical, plumbing, and insulation before finalizing scope and budget, since bringing those systems up to a modern standard is almost always part of doing the job right.
We do take on a select number of ground-up custom homes on Prairie Village’s remaining buildable lots, but the majority of our work here is renovation-led: opening up a closed kitchen, adding a primary suite through a side or rear addition, or modernizing a bathroom, all while matching rooflines and exterior materials closely enough that the finished project reads as original to the home rather than an obvious add-on.

Prairie Village — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hickok Homes build new custom homes in Prairie Village?
We do take on a select number of ground-up custom homes on Prairie Village’s remaining buildable lots, but most of our work here is renovations and additions to the city’s existing mid-century housing stock.
What kind of projects does Hickok Homes mostly handle in Prairie Village?
Whole-home renovations, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and additions that expand an existing home while matching its original roofline and exterior materials. Prairie Village’s housing stock is one homeowners want to preserve, not replace.
Why do so many Prairie Village remodels start with electrical and plumbing?
Most Prairie Village homes date to the 1950s and 60s, and their original electrical, plumbing, and insulation were built to a standard that rarely meets what a modern family expects. We assess those systems before choosing a single finish.
Can you open up a closed-off mid-century kitchen?
Yes. Opening a closed kitchen into the adjacent living space is one of the most common requests we see in Prairie Village, and we manage the structural work that involves.
Do you add primary suites through home additions?
Yes, side and rear additions to add a primary suite are a common project type in Prairie Village, and we design and build them to tie into the existing roofline and materials.
Will my addition or remodel need a permit in Prairie Village?
Most work touching structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems requires a permit through the City of Prairie Village’s building department, and we manage that submission and inspection process directly.
Will my remodel match my home’s original mid-century character?
Matching rooflines and exterior materials closely enough that the finished project reads as original to the home is central to how we approach every Prairie Village project.
How long does a typical whole-home remodel take in Prairie Village?
Timelines vary with scope, but most whole-home remodels on a mid-century Prairie Village home run several months from demolition to final walkthrough. We confirm a project-specific schedule once scope is finalized.
Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect in Prairie Village?
Yes. We coordinate construction documents and permitting around a design already underway, in addition to offering full design-build service.
Does Hickok Homes serve the rest of Johnson County as well as Prairie Village?
Yes. We build and renovate throughout Johnson County, including Overland Park, Leawood, and Mission, in addition to our work in Prairie Village and across the Kansas City metro.
