Do Security Screen Doors Add Value to Your Home?

They make a home safer and more comfortable to live in, and those are things buyers notice. Here are nine ways security screens earn their keep.

  1. More protection. Stainless steel mesh, a patented clamp and a multi-point lock are designed to resist forced entry and tampering. The sight of them can also put an intruder off.
  2. Peace of mind. You can leave doors and windows open and still feel secure. You see out clearly, and it is harder for people outside to see in.
  3. Better airflow. Fresh air moves through the house and keeps it cooler and brighter.
  4. A safe way out. Fire-escape screens release from the inside, so a bedroom stays secure without trapping anyone.
  5. Lower cooling bills. Shade from the mesh and a through-breeze mean less need for air conditioning.
  6. No insects. The tight weave keeps bugs and pests outside.
  7. Pets stay in. Pets can enjoy the air and the view without slipping out through an open window.
  8. Curb appeal. The screens are made to suit the house, not fight it. There are no bars.
  9. They last. The screens are built for harsh weather and need little maintenance.

What about resale value?

Visible, good-looking security features help a home stand out from similar ones nearby. Buyers tend to like the mix of security, lower running costs and a tidy look. We cannot promise a figure, and nobody honestly can. What we can say is that these are features people ask for.

Are they worth it?

If you plan to stay, you get the comfort and the security every day. If you plan to sell, they are a feature worth listing. Either way, the first step is the same: a free visit to measure up.
