How Plantation Shutters Add To Home Values in New York

One of the questions homeowners frequently ask me as I’m about to leave their house 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 must-have when selling a home. I’ve seen homeowners in New York receive real 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).

 

Plantation Shutters Are Durable

More than any other shutter in the industry, 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 ensures that Polywood never warp or lose its color regardless of how hot the New York 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 substantial addition to the house.

Plantation Shutters Are Energy Efficient

No other window treatment in New York is as energy efficient as plantation shutters. Our Polywood shutter insulates up to 70% better than an equal 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 straight away. And real estate agents realize that. That’s why you’ll see your home’s value rise and your house sell quicker.

Shutters Are Beautiful

When walking through the house with an assessor, a real estate agent, or a home buyer, the first impression sticks with them long after they’ve gone home. How charming 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 classic richness of Ovation wood shutters, our custom craftsmanship and installations make certain that the final product matches your style and accentuates the beauty 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 elegance? Thanks to our state-of-the-art computer technology and 40+ years of experience, we custom make your shutters to look great and function effortlessly.
