The Value of a Shutter

You don’t have to be thinking of selling your home in the next year to care about its value. Like fine wine, properly decorated homes age beautifully and increase in value. Speaking of, when you look at traditional valuation standards by real estate agents, shutters are one of the only custom window treatments that can increase a home’s value. This is due to several reasons:

  1. Style: Shutters are coveted in homes because they are a timeless window treatment that has been enjoyed for hundreds of years and will be beloved for hundreds of years more. Shutters are a classic, elegant addition to a home, featuring the warmth and natural beauty of wood against a window.
  2. nergy Efficiency: Because of their thick slats, shutters can keep hot or cold air out. This will keep your home comfortable all year long. Plus, the thickness of the slats can help reduce outside energy. This is a great perk if your home is on a busy street.
  3. Curb Appeal: Shutters don’t just look beautiful inside your home. To the outside eye, shutters create an elegant, polished appearance that increases your home’s curb appeal and, in turn, its value.
  4. Craftsmanship: Shutters often feature precise cuts, measurements, and craftsmanship, meaning that they will last for years to come. To prospective homeowners, having windows covered in a style they don’t have to worry about replacing is a huge plus.
