Westwood carries one of the area's most established housing stocks — Westwood and Westwood Hills border range across multiple construction eras, each with its own decking condition, original material, and re-roof scope considerations. We assess every job with that history in mind.
Joel Johnson was my rep and helped me navigate the process. They helped me overcome some hurdles with my insurance company. The communication was great and installation was efficient despite the challenges of living in the mountains. Overall was a good experience and glad I went with Joel and Roof Technologies.
— Andy M. — Google ReviewWestwood is one of the smallest cities in Johnson County by population (about 1,700) but one of the highest by housing value — brick-and-stucco Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival estates on mature wooded lots between Mission Hills, the KCMO Country Club Plaza, and Kansas City KS. Roof scopes lean toward slate, tile, copper, and standing-seam metal on prestige homes. Westwood Hills is the adjacent (separate) village to the south; both communities share the inner-ring high-end character.
Residential re-roofs, commercial flats, solar installs, and seamless gutters across Westwood, KS — from established neighborhoods to current new construction.
Four operating principles shape every Westwood project — the same standards we apply across our five-state service area.
Westwood leans slate, tile, copper, and standing-seam metal — not stock asphalt. We install natural slate, Westlake Royal, Bartile, Brava, DaVinci, F-Wave, Sheffield Metals, custom copper, and Tesla Solar Roof with the manufacturer certifications to back every install.
Mature wooded lots, gate access, auxiliary buildings, and pool surrounds demand staging discipline most contractors do not bring. We protect the landscape, route equipment carefully, and document every condition before mobilization.
Westwood policies typically carry full RCV with high deductibles and the carrier supplements run heavy on slate, tile, and composite. We document the as-built scope precisely and do not sign off until the dollar figure matches the build.
Every install leaves with Class 4 manufacturer certification, ARC approval, county final, and photo documentation. On a Nichols-era estate, that file is part of the asset's resale value.

Every Westwood job is wired for the three constants: the Johnson County permit, the active local HOA where applicable, and the next Plains hail-and-tornado event. Class 4 shingles, documented installs, and a warranty trail. We work the supplements through to settlement on every insurance claim we touch.

Serving Westwood, KS and surrounding Johnson County communities.
Westwood averages around 220 sunny days a year. The mix of established subdivision rooftops and current new-construction delivers workable south-facing roof geometry for solar — Evergy's net-metering structure plus the 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (ITC) makes solar a real option for Westwood homeowners.
Westwood sits on Evergy for utility service. Kansas-side net-metering rules differ from Missouri-side, with Evergy Kansas paying a specific rate for excess production. We design the array against your specific Evergy Kansas billing and handle interconnection paperwork end-to-end through Johnson County permitting.

Roof Technologies works Johnson County roofs every week. Here’s where our crews land and what the local conditions look like.
Westwood's tight inner-ring footprint of pre-1960s homes carries decking-replacement risk on most re-roofs — 1x6 board sheathing under original cedar shake is common.
Westwood building permits issue through the city; the small jurisdiction means same-day or next-day permit turnaround on standard re-roofs.
Solar arrays in Westwood interconnect through Evergy under standard net-metering (subject to current published utility rules). We handle the interconnection paperwork, array design against your real annual usage, and the Johnson County permitting end-to-end.
Same crews, same materials, same scheduling priority across the KC footprint.
The Kansas City bi-state metro sits in the central Plains tornado-and-hail corridor where storm cells building over the Flint Hills track east across the metro. Major recent events include the 2017 May hail sequence (one of the costliest KC insured-loss events), the 2019 Linwood tornado on the Kansas side, and multiple 2022-2023 storm cells producing golf-ball-and-larger hail. Insurance-claim density runs well above national average through peak storm season.
