What a display in Westwood usually looks like.
Westwood is one of the smallest cities we serve, a few dozen blocks between Rainbow Boulevard and Mission Road on the edge of the state line. The houses are older than most of Johnson County: 1920s and 1930s bungalows, Tudors and Cape Cods on narrow lots with detached garages set back off the drive. Rooflines are short but complicated, with front-facing gables, dormers and porch roofs that need their own runs. Houses sit close to the sidewalk, so a display here is seen from twenty feet away rather than from across a lawn. Detail matters more than scale. A tight, even line of C9 bulbs on a small Tudor looks better than anything oversized.
What it costs to light a home in Westwood.
$9 per foot of roofline. The roofline is the whole formula.
Almost everything in Westwood predates 1950. Bungalows and story-and-a-half Tudors dominate, typically 90 to 120 feet of front roofline once you include the porch and the dormer, which is $810 to $1,080 at $9 a foot. The larger two-story homes toward Mission Road and the Mission Hills line run 140 to 170 feet, or $1,260 to $1,530. Because frontages are short, most people here add something: a lit wreath at $125 for the front door, garland at $18 a foot on a porch rail, or a wrapped tree at $150. Those add-ons do more on a small house than extra roofline would.

Where we work in Westwood.
West 47th Street and Rainbow Boulevard bracket the north end, Mission Road runs the east side, and the University of Kansas Medical Center sits just over the line. Joe D. Dennis Park is the green space most people use as a reference point. The whole city is small enough that we can park once and work several houses on foot, which is how we schedule it. Streets are narrow and cars park on both sides, so we come early in the day when there is room for the truck.

Three things to know about lights in Westwood.
Porch roofs need their own line
Most Westwood houses have a covered front porch below the main gable. Lighting only the upper eave leaves a dark band over the door. We usually run the porch edge as a second, shorter line.
Narrow streets mean early mornings
Parking fills up on these blocks by mid-morning. We schedule Westwood installs early so the truck and ladders have room, and so we are not blocking a neighbor's drive while we work.
Old wood trim, no fasteners
Original fascia and soffit on a 1930s house does not need more holes in it. Everything goes up on plastic clips that hook the shingle or gutter edge, and comes down in January without a mark.

Questions from Westwood.
Is Westwood too small a job for you to bother with?
No. Short rooflines are still full installs and we price them the same way, at $9 per foot with lights, clips, timer, in-season repairs, January takedown and storage included. A typical Westwood bungalow runs 90 to 120 feet, or $810 to $1,080. We work several houses here in a single trip, which keeps the scheduling simple.
Do you light porches and dormers on Westwood houses?
Yes, and on this housing stock we usually recommend it. A 1930s Westwood house often has a front gable, a dormer and a porch roof at three different heights. Lighting only the top line leaves the entry dark. We measure each run separately and the total feet is what sets the price.
How fast can you get to a Westwood address?
Our shop is in Mission, roughly eight minutes away, so Westwood and the cities next to it are usually the fastest for us to reach for both installs and in-season repairs. Book a holiday light installation in October or early November and you will have your pick of turn-on dates.
Will this damage my roof or gutters?
No. Plastic clips made for shingles and gutters. Nothing is stapled, nailed or screwed in, and nothing is left behind after takedown.
Do I have to take them down?
No. Takedown in January and storage are part of the $9 per foot. Next year is one text message.
