How Plantation Shutters Increases Home Values in Dover

One of the questions homeowners commonly ask me as I’m leaving a consultation is: “Do plantation shutters increase home value?” I’m so glad they ask that because this allows me 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 Dover gain substantial returns on their window treatment investment when they resell their house, thanks to the durable, energy-efficient, and beautiful plantation shutters our experts 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 taken care of. In fact, 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 never warp or lose its color despite how warm the Dover 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 transplanted from one house to another. And as part of the property, they are assessed as a valuable addition to the house.

Polywood Shutters Are Energy Efficient

No other window treatment in Dover is as energy efficient as plantation shutters. Our Polywood shutter insulates up to 70% better than an equal 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 instantly. And real estate agents are well aware of that. That’s why you’ll see your home’s value rise 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 stays 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 too long. Whether you decide on the contemporary look of Polywood shutters or the classic richness of Ovation wood shutters, our custom craftsmanship 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 inherent charm? Thanks to our advanced computer technology and 40+ years of experience, we custom make your shutters to look great and function effortlessly.
