How Plantation Shutters Increases Home Values in Fort Lauderdale
One of the questions homeowners commonly ask me as I’m leaving a consultation is: “Do plantation shutters increase home value?” I’m so happy they ask that because this allows me to tell them about the numerous features of plantation shutters that make them a valuable asset when selling a home. I’ve seen homeowners in Fort Lauderdale gain considerable returns on their window treatment investment when they resell their house, thanks to the durable, energy-efficient, and beautiful plantation shutters our professionals installed. Here’s how to get your plantation shutters' return on investment (ROI).
Interior Shutters Are Durable
More than any other shutter in the industry, Polywood shutters last over 50 years when properly maintained. Actually, the paint finish we bake on these shutters has UV inhibitors that protects the material from damaging sun rays. This ensures that Polywood doesn’t warp or lose its color despite how warm the Fort Lauderdale temperatures get. And it is this durability that makes plantation shutters a leader among other window treatments, adding to your home’s value.
Shutters Are A Permanent Fixture
Since plantation shutters are installed to custom fit to your windows, they become a permanent fixture. Whether it’s Polywood or Ovation, these shutters cannot be transferred from one house to another. And as part of the property, they are assessed as a considerable addition to the house.
Interior Shutters Are Energy Efficient
No other window treatment in Fort Lauderdale is as energy efficient as plantation shutters. Our Polywood shutter insulates up to 70% better than a comparable wood shutter. Actually, Polywood reduces heat transfer by 45.96%. With these energy efficient shutters on your home’s windows, any home buyer in the market will be interested in your house straight away. And real estate agents are well aware of that. That’s why you’ll see your home’s value increase and your house sell quicker.
Shutters Are Beautiful
When presenting the house to an assessor, a real estate agent, or a home buyer, the first impression remains with them long after they’ve gone home. How elegant a window treatment is can make a difference between a house that sells fast and one that stays on the market for a while. Whether you choose the contemporary look of Polywood shutters or the exquisite richness of Ovation wood shutters, our custom designs and installations make sure that the final product matches your style and accentuates the charm of your window.
And what about those specialty-shaped windows like an arch in the dining room or a French door? Will the shutters take away from their innate elegance? Thanks to our state-of-the-art computer technology and 40+ years of experience, we custom design your shutters to look great and function effortlessly.
