Westwood Expertise
Building Considerations in Westwood
Westwood’s housing stock is mature and largely built out, so nearly every project we take on here is a renovation, an addition, or a selective rebuild rather than new construction on vacant land. We start every Westwood project with a careful assessment of the home’s existing structure and systems before finalizing scope and budget, since a house’s age and prior updates vary even within the same block.
Because Westwood sits in Johnson County and shares a border with Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas near the Rainbow Boulevard and KU Med Center corridor, we coordinate permitting with both the city and the county’s standard inspections, and we size mechanical systems and building envelopes for a genuine four-season Kansas City climate rather than a one-size-fits-all spec.

Westwood — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hickok Homes build custom homes in Westwood?
On a selective basis. Westwood is already largely built out, so ground-up lots are rare; when one does come open, we take on a custom build with the same design-build accountability we bring to our larger new-construction markets.
What kind of projects does Hickok Homes build most often in Westwood?
Most of our Westwood work is whole-home remodeling, kitchen and bathroom renovation, and room or primary-suite additions, since the city’s housing stock is mature and mostly already developed.
Does Hickok Homes handle a full teardown-rebuild in Westwood?
Yes. When a home’s foundation or structure has reached the end of its useful life, we’ll walk through whether a selective teardown-rebuild makes more sense than a renovation, and manage either path as one accountable design-build project.
Does Hickok Homes build in both Kansas and Missouri near Westwood?
Yes. Westwood sits right at the state line near Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas, and we work across both sides of the metro, so permitting in either state is part of our normal process.
Does Hickok Homes handle permitting in Westwood and Johnson County?
Yes. We coordinate directly with the relevant building department and Johnson County’s standard inspections so permitting runs alongside design and construction rather than becoming a separate bottleneck.
Can Hickok Homes finish a basement as part of a Westwood renovation?
Yes. Finishing a basement to add genuine living space is one of the more common ways we help Westwood homeowners gain square footage without adding to the home’s footprint.
Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect in Westwood?
Yes. We partner with independent architects and designers, coordinating construction documents and permitting around a design already underway, in addition to offering full design-build service.
Does Hickok Homes offer a warranty on Westwood projects?
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 construction begins.
Does Hickok Homes build in both the Kansas City metro and Arizona?
Yes. We’ve built custom homes and renovations in both the four-season Kansas City market and the desert conditions around Scottsdale, so our specifications are engineered for the climate you’re actually building in.
How do I get started on a Westwood project?
Contact us to schedule a consultation. We’ll walk your property, talk through whether your project is best suited to a renovation, an addition, or a selective rebuild, and provide a transparent, line-item budget before any contract is signed.
