Westwood Hills Expertise
Building Considerately in a Historic Community
Nearly every project we take on in Westwood Hills touches an existing home, so we start with a careful structural and systems assessment before finalizing any scope or budget — what’s original to the house, what’s been altered over the years, and what needs to be brought up to current standards without erasing the character that makes the home worth preserving in the first place. Homes within the city’s National Historic District call for particular care: exterior changes, material choices, and additions all need to respect the home’s historic character, and we treat that as a design discipline rather than a constraint to work around.
Because there is no meaningful vacant land left in Westwood Hills, we don’t approach this market the way we’d approach a growing suburb with new subdivisions. Every Westwood Hills project is, at its core, about extending the life of a home that’s already stood for decades — reinforcing a foundation, updating wiring and plumbing that predates modern code, or adding square footage in a way that reads as though it always belonged. That’s the project management discipline we bring to Westwood Hills, coordinated directly with the city’s own permitting process and Johnson County’s standard inspections.

Westwood Hills — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hickok Homes build new custom homes in Westwood Hills?
Westwood Hills is a small, fully built-out city with a National Historic District designation and very little remaining vacant land, so most of our work here is remodels, additions, and restorations to existing homes rather than ground-up new construction. We’re glad to discuss your specific lot if you believe new construction may be possible.
What kind of projects does Hickok Homes handle in Westwood Hills?
We handle whole-home remodels, kitchen and bathroom renovations, additions, and restoration work on Westwood Hills’ predominantly historic, well-established single-family homes, all run by one accountable design-build team.
Does Hickok Homes work on homes in the National Historic District?
Yes. Part of Westwood Hills carries a National Historic District designation, and we approach renovation and addition work on those homes with particular attention to preserving their historic character.
Can you finish a basement as part of a Westwood Hills renovation?
Yes. Finishing a basement to add genuine living space is a common request on established homes where there’s no room to expand outward.
Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect?
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 areas around Westwood Hills?
Yes. In addition to Westwood Hills, we serve the surrounding Kansas City metro, including Westwood, Mission Woods, and Kansas City.
How do you handle permitting for a Westwood Hills project?
We coordinate directly with the City of Westwood Hills’ permitting process and with Johnson County’s standard inspections, so permitting runs alongside construction rather than becoming a separate bottleneck.
Do you offer a warranty on remodeling and renovation work?
Yes, our work is backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties on installed systems and materials. We review the specific terms with you before work begins.
How involved will I be during a renovation project?
As involved as you’d like to be — we provide regular updates and scheduled walkthroughs, and major decisions and selections are reviewed with you directly.
What’s the first step in starting a project in Westwood Hills?
We start with an on-site assessment of your home’s existing structure, systems, and any historic character worth preserving, then provide a detailed, line-item budget before any contract is signed.
