Westwood's affluent homeowners invest significantly in outdoor spaces, and exterior patio shades are the perfect complement to high-end patios and pergolas. Our Kansas climate—intense summer sun combined with occasional severe weather—makes quality shade systems essential for both comfort and durability. Westwood residents appreciate motorized options that provide convenience and sophistication, while wind sensors protect against the occasional Kansas storms. We've installed hundreds of systems in similar premium communities, understanding how these shades enhance both functionality and property value in neighborhoods like Westwood Park.
