Transforming a deck or patio into an inviting, functional outdoor space with retractable awnings will increase your home value and ultimately create a selling power. Retractable awnings can also be the finishing touch to your deck or patio investment by helping you use it more often.
From increasing prices for building materials to shrinking lot sizes, outside living areas are becoming more valuable. According to the National Association of Realtors, the first step in setting the stage for resale is focusing on curb appeal and the exterior of the home, which gives potential home buyers their first impression. A well-placed retractable awning can add thousands of dollars to the price of a home, especially in smaller homes where square footage is at a premium.
Permanent home additions can cost between $150 and $200 per square foot, making it easy to spend over $20,000 on a simple 12' x 12' room. Permanent additions also require significant upkeep and can limit future landscape options. In contrast, a retractable awning provides a cost effective option.
Many designers and homeowners are incorporating retractable awnings in an effort to create an affordable and appealing oasis that captures the defining characteristic of an outdoor room -- a feeling of enclosure. Not only do they create a premium outdoor hangout for family and friends to gather, but the new space can increase the overall home value with a low initial cost.
"House-proud Americans are looking for ways to expand the useable living space of the their home," says home improvement expert Lou Manfredini. "Awnings create a whole other room without the high costs and confusing permits that come with permanent home additions. Not to be overlooked, these outdoor retreats have the potential to give homeowners increased selling power."
The most popular of all awnings is the retractable, they can be added to windows, near pools or over decks and patios. Awning fabric and styles can compliment the architectural style of any home: forest greens or neutrals may accent traditional styles, while bar stripes work well for colonials or cottage-style homes. Similarly, terra-cotta or salmon stripes compliment Southwestern-style or stucco-sided homes.
"Retractable awnings are an affordable way to shade your deck or patio and bring hours of enjoyment to your home." Manfredini says. "Dollar for dollar, the value of this investment is hard to match."
Think of it, sun when you want it, shade when you need it. And all at the push of a button.
