How Plantation Shutters Increases Home Values in Austin
One of the questions homeowners usually ask me as I’m walking out their door is: “Do plantation shutters increase home value?” I get so excited when they ask that because I'llget to tell them about the various features of plantation shutters that make them a priceless when selling a home. I’ve seen homeowners in Austin get considerable returns on their window treatment investment when they resell their house, thanks to the durable, energy-efficient, and beautiful plantation shutters we installed. Here’s how to get your plantation shutters' return on investment (ROI).
Plantation 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 the sun’s damaging rays. This makes certain that Polywood doesn’t warp or lose its color regardless of how high the Austin 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 mounted 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 key addition to the house.
Plantation Shutters Are Energy Efficient
No other window treatment in Austin is as energy efficient as plantation shutters. Our Polywood shutter insulates up to 70% better than a comparable wood shutter. As a matter of fact, 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 right away. And real estate agents know that. That’s why you’ll see your home’s value go up and your house sell faster.
Shutters Are Beautiful
When showing 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 beautiful 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 select the modern look of Polywood shutters or the exquisite richness of Ovation wood shutters, our custom designs and installations make certain that the final product matches your style and complements the elegance of your window.
And what about those specialty-shaped windows like an arch in the family room or a French door? Will the shutters take away from their inherent charm? Thanks to our cutting edge computer technology and 40+ years of experience, we custom design your shutters to look great and function effortlessly.
