ROHNERT PARK – When it comes to selecting new window treatments, today’s homeowners have numerous options. However, out of the many choices available, only one will substantially add to the value of a home: shutters. Once they’re installed, shutters are considered a “fixed asset,” which puts them in the same league as other permanent fixtures like floors and countertops.
Imagine you were having your home appraised and inside you had several thousand dollars’ worth of custom draperies. In this case, the home appraiser might add $500 to your appraisal for having the windows covered. With shutters, on the other hand, the value added to the home often exceeds the cost of the shutters themselves. It’s not uncommon for $7,000 worth of faux wood or vinyl shutters to translate to $10,000 added onto a home’s appraisal. So, if you’re looking for a window treatment that will give you the most value for your investment (particularly if you plan to sell your home in the future), shutters are an ideal choice.
