The basic rectangle box-style ranch house that was built in mass production during the 1970s has given way to subdivisions that attempt a “unified diversity”. That means strict neighborhood covenants regulate the type of home, size, use, and many other factors, yet allow the houses to have unique styles and designs, no longer looking like a row of Monopoly houses. Many homeowners use exterior shutters to give their houses extra curb-appeal and uniqueness.
Not to be too hard on the older neighborhoods, these 1970s subdivisions are getting a new life as younger people move into them and begin to remodel and dress up the look of the neighborhood. The draw of mature trees and plants, and proximity to schools and commercial areas are revitalizing these older subdivisions. Besides painting, a really great way to individualize the typical ranch-style house is to add exterior shutters onto the windows
Wooden exterior shutters come in a variety of wood types, each one selected for its durability in specific climates. There are also several styles to choose from, which can be painted or stained, adding more uniqueness to the design of the house. Wooden, as opposed to vinyl shutters, are long-lasting, sturdy, and have the benefit of being somewhat insulating for extremes in temperature or noise reduction.
Whether for remodeling the exterior look of a house, or designing curb appeal in a new construction, exterior shutters can make the difference between giving a house just a glance or a second look. Given the real estate market today, if you are intending to sell your home, enticing that second look is essential. A fresh coat of paint and exterior shutters are the most cost effective way to keep the value in your investment and will add the finishing touch to your home.
