What a display in Shawnee usually looks like.
Shawnee gives you more lit house per dollar than anywhere else we work. The city is full of 1970s ranches and split-levels with wide, low front rooflines, which means the line of C9 lights sits close to eye level and the whole front of the house reads from the street. Lots are deep and the streets are quiet, so displays are seen from a distance rather than up close. West of K-7, around Monticello and the newer Clear Creek builds, the houses go two-story and taller. The older half near Nieman Road and Johnson Drive is lower, shadier and simpler.
What it costs to light a home in Shawnee.
$13 per foot of roofline. The roofline is the whole formula.
A Shawnee ranch or split-level typically measures 140 to 175 feet of front roofline, or $1,820 to $2,275 at $13 a foot. That is a full front of the house lit for less than most two-story homes farther south cost for the same look, because the wide low roof does not need a second run above it. Newer two-story homes west of K-7 usually measure 200 to 240 feet, or $2,600 to $3,120. Split-level fronts often benefit from shrub nets at $45 each, since the lower roof sits close to the foundation planting.
About 160 ft of roofline, typical for Shawnee.

Where we work in Shawnee.
Shawnee Mission Parkway and Johnson Drive are our two east-west routes in from Mission, and Nieman, Pflumm, Quivira and K-7 run north and south. Midland Drive gets us out to the western neighborhoods. We route by downtown Shawnee at Nieman and Johnson Drive, Shawnee Mission Park on the south edge, Herman Laird Park and Erfurt Park. The older streets near Nieman are narrow and park up in the evening, so we work those blocks in the morning and move west after lunch.

Three things to know about lights in Shawnee.
Low wide rooflines make color worth considering
Because a Shawnee ranch roofline sits low and close to the viewer, the color upgrade at $2 a foot shows more clearly here than it does on a tall peak forty feet up. It is the one place we regularly suggest it.
Deep lots mean the display is read from far off
Front setbacks in the older neighborhoods are generous. A clean unbroken line beats a busy one at that distance, so we run the full width of the roof rather than outlining every small detail.
West of K-7 the newer subdivisions may have decor rules
The newer builds around Clear Creek and Monticello often sit in HOAs with holiday decor start and removal dates. Read yours before you set a turn-on date so the January takedown stays inside it.

Questions from Shawnee.
Why is Shawnee usually cheaper to light than south Johnson County?
The roofline is shorter and lower. A typical Shawnee ranch measures 140 to 175 feet, which is $1,820 to $2,275 at $13 per foot, and the whole front of the house is covered by one run. A two-story home elsewhere often needs a second run above the first, which adds feet.
Do you light split-level homes in Shawnee?
Yes, and there are a lot of them here. A split-level front has two roof heights that meet at an offset, so we quote both short runs. We use plastic clips on the shingle edge and gutter lip, never nails or staples, and we take everything down in January at no extra charge.
How far is Shawnee from your shop?
About fifteen minutes. We are at 5202 Newton Street in Mission, straight west on Shawnee Mission Parkway or Johnson Drive, so Shawnee is one of the quicker cities for us to reach when a repair is needed mid-season. In-season repairs are included in the $13 per foot price.
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.
