Westwood's upscale homes—many with mature landscaping and premium outdoor entertaining spaces—pair perfectly with motorized retractable awnings. Our area experiences intense summer sun, especially on west and south-facing patios, making UV protection a genuine comfort and energy-saving upgrade. Westwood homeowners often invest in outdoor kitchens, pool areas, and entertaining spaces that benefit from shade control without permanent structures. Our motorized awnings integrate with your smart home setup, extend your entertaining season, and add property value. We've installed hundreds of awnings across Johnson County, with the same attention to detail that makes Westwood homes special.
