What a display in Prairie Village usually looks like.
Prairie Village is a 1940s and 1950s postwar city and the rooflines show it. Most houses are one and a half or two story Cape Cod and colonial styles with steep pitches and short runs, often broken by a dormer or a small entry gable. The lots are modest and the front trees are old, so a ladder set at the right angle for the roof is frequently sitting under a low limb. Gutters on many of these homes are original, which changes what a clip can hang from. The displays that work here are tidy and tight to the house rather than sprawling, because the houses sit close together.
What it costs to light a home in Prairie Village.
$13 per foot of roofline. The roofline is the whole formula.
The typical Prairie Village front roofline is short. Small postwar capes near 75th and Somerset often measure 110 to 140 feet, which is $1,430 to $1,820 at $13 a foot. Larger two-story colonials near Mission Road and the Corinth area run 160 to 200 feet, or $2,080 to $2,600. Steep pitch adds labor, not price, since we still charge by the foot. Because the roofs are small and the trees are not, a lot of homeowners here put the budget into a wrapped front tree at $150 or shrub nets at $45 each rather than chasing more roof.
About 130 ft of roofline, typical for Prairie Village.

Where we work in Prairie Village.
Mission Road, Nall and Roe run north and south through the city, and 75th, 83rd and 95th cross them. We stage most Prairie Village work off Johnson Drive since the shop is minutes away. Prairie Village Shops and Corinth Square are the two landmarks we route around, and Harmon Park, Franklin Park and Meadowbrook Park sit close enough to residential streets that we park on the side streets rather than block a lane. Street parking is tight in December, so we work the narrow blocks earlier in the day.

Three things to know about lights in Prairie Village.
Original gutters need the clip checked first
Plenty of Prairie Village homes still have their first set of gutters. We check seams and hangers before clipping so a full run of C9 lights is not hanging from something already pulling away from the fascia.
Steep short roofs need the ladder set off the tree line
The old maples and elms out front sit right where a ladder wants to go. We usually set from the driveway side and work across, which is why an early measurement note about tree position helps the install day.
Dormers read better than a longer gutter run
On a Cape Cod, outlining the dormer and the entry gable gives the house shape from the street. A single straight gutter line on a steep roof tends to disappear behind the pitch after dark.

Questions from Prairie Village.
Why is Christmas light installation in Prairie Village priced lower than newer suburbs?
Because the rooflines are shorter. We charge $13 per foot, and a typical Prairie Village cape measures 110 to 140 feet, so the total lands near $1,430 to $1,820. A newer two-story in south Johnson County can be twice that simply because there is twice as much roof to cover.
Can you work on Prairie Village homes with old gutters and steep roofs?
Yes. We use plastic clips sized for the shingle edge or the gutter lip and never nails, staples or screws. On homes with original gutters we check the hangers first and move the run to the shingle edge if the gutter will not carry it. The steep pitch does not change your price.
How quickly can you get to Prairie Village?
Our shop is on Newton Street in Mission, a few minutes north of you, so Prairie Village is one of the fastest cities for us to reach for installs and for in-season repairs, which are included at no charge. Send the address and we will text a price within 24 hours.
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 $13 per foot. Next year is one text message.
