How Plantation Shutters Maximize Home Values in Philadelphia
One of the questions homeowners frequently ask me as I’m walking out their door is: “Do plantation shutters increase home value?” I’m so happy they ask that because I'llget to tell them about the numerous features of plantation shutters that make them a must-have when selling a home. I’ve seen homeowners in Philadelphia get substantial 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 on the market, Polywood shutters last over 50 years when taken care of. As a matter of fact, the paint finish we bake on these shutters has UV inhibitors that protects the material from sun damage. This makes certain that Polywood won’t warp or lose its color despite how high the Philadelphia temperatures get. And it is this durability that makes plantation shutters stand out from other window treatments, adding to your home’s value.
Shutters Are A Permanent Fixture
Since plantation shutters are designed 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 substantial addition to the house.
Polywood Shutters Are Energy Efficient
No other window treatment in Philadelphia is as energy efficient as plantation shutters. Our Polywood shutter insulates up to 70% better than a similar 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 go up and your house sell faster.
Shutters Are Beautiful
When presenting the house to an assessor, a real estate agent, or a home buyer, the first impression sticks with them long after they’ve gone home. How elegant a window treatment is can make a difference between a house that sells in no time and one that stays on the market for a year. Whether you decide on the in vogue look of Polywood shutters or the exquisite richness of Ovation wood shutters, our custom designs and installations ensure that the final product matches your style and enhances the elegance of your window.
And what about those specialty-shaped windows like an arch in the living room or a French door? Will the shutters take away from their innate elegance? Thanks to our cutting edge computer technology and 40+ years of experience, we custom craft your shutters to look great and function effortlessly.
