How Plantation Shutters Add To Home Values in Washington DC

One of the questions homeowners frequently ask me as I’m leaving a consultation is: “Do plantation shutters increase home value?” I’m so happy they ask that because I have the chance to tell them about the many features of plantation shutters that make them a valuable asset when selling a home. I’ve seen homeowners in Washington DC 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 US, 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 never warp or lose its color no matter how hot the Washington DC 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 valuable addition to the house.

Polywood Shutters Are Energy Efficient

No other window treatment in Washington DC is as energy efficient as plantation shutters. Our Polywood shutter insulates up to 70% better than a similar 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 are well aware of that. That’s why you’ll see your home’s value rise 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 remains with them long after they’ve gone home. How charming a window treatment is can make a difference between a house that sells quickly and one that stays on the market for a while. Whether you choose the in vogue look of Polywood shutters or the classic richness of Ovation wood shutters, our custom manufacturing and installations ensure that the final product matches your style and complements the beauty 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 natural charm? Thanks to our state-of-the-art computer technology and 40+ years of experience, we custom craft your shutters to look great and function effortlessly.
