How Plantation Shutters Maximize Home Values in Indianapolis

August 19, 2015

One of the questions homeowners commonly ask me as I’m walking out their door 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 valuable asset when selling a home. I’ve seen homeowners in Indianapolis gain considerable 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 in the US, Polywood shutters last over 50 years when properly maintained. Actually, the paint finish we bake on these shutters has UV inhibitors that protects the material from the sun’s damaging rays. This makes sure that Polywood won’t warp or lose its color despite how high the Indianapolis temperatures get. And it is this durability that makes plantation shutters a front runner compared to other window treatments, adding to your home’s value.

Shutters Are A Permanent Fixture

Since plantation shutters are created 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 key addition to the house.

Interior Shutters Are Energy Efficient

No other window treatment in Indianapolis 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 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 quicker.

Shutters Are Beautiful

When walking through the house with 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 quickly and one that stays on the market for a while. Whether you pick the in vogue look of Polywood shutters or the exquisite richness of Ovation wood shutters, our custom designs and installations make sure that the final product matches your style and complements the charm 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 innate charm? Thanks to our state-of-the-art computer technology and 40+ years of experience, we custom design your shutters to look great and function effortlessly.
