When it comes to backyard home improvement projects, homeowners often dive in with a mix of enthusiasm and trepidation. They’ll often start by asking if installing a patio will increase their home’s value. After discovering that, yes, it does (regardless of whether it's stone, stamped, or concrete) they’ll often pursue the build. But once the project’s over, after they're thoroughly enjoying drinks on the patio or grilling out with friends, another series of questions often arise, usually revolving around the potential value of covering their patio completely.
Can covering a patio increase your home’s value? Follow along as we explore the answer to this question and others like it in this informative blog!
Do Patio Covers Increase Home Value?
Absolutely. Installing a covered patio can create a shaded oasis to beat the heat and upgrade both your backyard’s curb appeal and functionality. They can extend your living space, allowing for relaxation and entertainment without the worry of harsh sunlight or unexpected rain. All told, they’re a great option for homeowners who want to increase their home value and an even better one for those who want to do that and enjoy their home in the meantime.
Does a Screened-In Patio Add Value to Your Home?
You’ll be happy to know that a screened-in patio, also known as a lanai in some areas, can also bring value to your property. By screening-in your patio, you can create a bug-free zone where you can enjoy the fresh air without the nuisance of insects. Plus, they allow you to catch the breeze outdoors even when it’s raining, hot, humid, or cold, making them a lucrative option for homeowners in warmer climates.
Does a Sunroom Add Value to Your Home?
Incorporating a sunroom into your home is another excellent way to increase its value. Sunrooms (and other patio enclosures) blend the best of indoor comfort with the beauty of outdoor views. They can easily provide a climate-controlled space to enjoy sunlight and nature year-round, making them a significant selling point. Plus, they can be designed to accommodate various needs–from cozy reading nooks with ample natural light to large spaces for parties and gatherings.
Regardless of their use, the extra square footage and unique features they offer are exactly what potential homebuyers are often willing to pay a premium for.
Does a Pergola Add Value to a Home?
While pergolas aren’t enclosures, they can provide shade, and make an excellent addition to an outdoor patio, garden, or pool area. They can also enhance the visual appeal of your outdoor space, both by themselves, or when dressed up with climbing plants, lights, or fabric, as homeowners are prone to do.
While pergolas might not offer the full protection of a traditional patio cover, the aesthetic and ambiance they offer can significantly boost your home's curb appeal and therefore value. And in a competitive housing market, such as San Antonio’s, these distinct features can only make your property more memorable and desirable.
