Plantation Shutters Add Value to Your Home

What Is an Inexpensive Way to Add Lasting Value to My Home?

If you have lived in southern Nevada through the heat of just one summer, you probably heard that adding a swimming pool to your home does little to increase its value. Installing a decent pool costs upward of $25,000, and that’s if there is relatively easy access with no walls or trees impairing its location. We’ll hear horror stories about people hitting caliche clay while digging out the holes for their pools. They’ll tell you the only thing harder than caliche are diamonds. The related tales are as involved as NASA moon shots and just as expensive! And when the deed gets done and the pool is installed, people discover they never recover their investment.

While swimming pools are enjoyable, they are a zero-sum game. The pool installer makes money, and the new owner loses the amount paid. The gain on one side is equal to the loss on the other side.

Homeowners who install pools watch their appraised tax value go up, but their real estate comp value stays the same.

Wouldn’t you prefer to be in a win-win game where someone makes money installing something in your home and you make money because the installation actually increases your home’s value?

Sure you would, and that’s why Plantation Shutters from Best Buy Shutters make perfect sense!

Plantation Shutters Add Lasting Value to Your Home

When homebuyers walk into identical homes available on the market, one with quality window coverings and the other with bare windows, you know which gets the nod of approval. Even with the higher list price. People intrinsically understand the value of quality window coverings. And they appreciate the hassle-free side of getting into a home that already has them.

Plantation Shutters add value. And the nice thing is you don’t have to buy and eat the whole dinosaur all at once. If you prefer, with Plantation Shutters you can invest in your home one room at a time. The initial cost does not have to break your back like installing outdoor barbeques, pergolas, landscaping, or pools.

Think of Plantation Shutters by Best Buy Shutters as quality crafted furniture mounted directly to your walls. They are meant to be permanent fixtures. Quality furniture fixtures if you will. That’s why we recommend consultation with our specialists to carefully think out whether it is best to design highly customized shutters that tightly conform to the room’s current furnishings and décor or whether to come up with more universally adaptable concepts. Either way, we will help you accentuate and enhance your rooms.

What Are the Benefits of Plantation Shutters?

Plantation Shutters offer lots of advantages.

  • They can be made from a variety of materials. Pick the one you prefer.
  • They can be stained, painted, or colored to match virtually any décor, wall paint, or preferred ambience.
  • They are completely customizable to virtually any window size and shape, including doors.
  • They are durable and withstand time and the elements.
  • They require no maintenance and are easy to clean.
  • They are trendy and add a luxurious flare to your home.

Which Is Better, Plantation Shutters or Blinds?

The short answer is it depends on what you are looking to accomplish. Blinds get windows covered relatively inexpensively. While blinds merely cover windows, shutters encase them. Shutters are trendy and fashionable. Blinds are adequate for certain situations, but they have drawbacks. They are not as durable as shutters. I’m sure you’ve experienced bent or broken slats, torn pull-strings, malfunctioning pulleys, and mechanism failures. Some years ago, blinds took on a black eye with the publication of stories about freak accidents occurring. Young children became entangled in cords and unfortunately suffocated. Plantation Shutters avoid these pitfalls.

Besides Adding Value to Your Home, Plantation Shutters Save Money!

People who install Plantation Shutters are happy to report their utility bills go down. You see, Plantation Shutters offer a higher degree of insulation than average blinds and certainly more than bare windows. Shutters are thicker, sturdier, and denser which means during the summer you get better insulation against high outdoor heat. Conversely, they keep your cool room air in. And of course, during the winter they keep hot air in and the cold air out.
