How Custom Window Grilles Add Value to Your Home

When making home improvements, it's important to prioritize decisions that will result in a return on your investment. The value of your home is important because it affects your property taxes, and what you might sell your home for. It can also be an indicator of overall financial health. Someone who is looking to improve the value of their home has a number of options available, many of which can be expensive and time consuming. Adding window grids to your home is an easy way to add value to your home without expending a huge investment up front.

So, how do window grids, also known as window muntins or mullions, add value to your home?

Help make your home stand out. 

Windows are an important part of a home's outward presentation, and leaving them bare and empty is no way to make a good first impression. Install window grids and make a strong impact on those who are seeing your home for the first time. Additionally, window grids can add to the uniformity of a home's style, making your house feel well-designed and more modern.

Show a well maintained home. 

Window grids add a polished feel to your home, and show potential buyers or appraisers that the homeowner has been active in maintaining the upkeep of the house. A house where the cosmetic aspects have been preserved will convey a sense that the functional aspects of the home have also been well cared for.

Make your home feel move-in ready.

A house will be more desirable to buyers and have a higher value if it feels move-in ready. The less work that potential new owners have to do, the better, and window grilles add a sense of completion to your home.

Property value is determined by a number of different variables. Location, current market demand, and home size & layout, and are all part of the calculation. Many of these things are out of a homeowner's control, but DIY home improvements are cost affective and realistic ways homeowners can make a difference.
