Pool Rescreening May Benefit A Home Seller

Visuals count for a lot when you put a home up for sale. Amenities and unique additions to a house also help improve equity and move sales. Would-be buyers, for example, may gravitate to a home with an outdoor pool. When several homes in the neighborhood come with pools, a homeowner can take things a little further by installing a pool screen enclosure. The enclosure looks like a guest house for the pool, which is a cool effect. The enclosure also protects the pool from the elements. Over time, the enclosure panels may suffer from wear and tear. Rescreening services can restore the original look while also lending a little help to sell the home.

Avoid the Negative Reactions to Wear and Tear

Even people who take great care of their homes could let things slide with a pool enclosure. A crack in a panel might not be a big deal during the colder months. Even a hole big enough for a rain leak gets dismissed if storm water goes directly into the pool. In truth, many homeowners put off fixing wear and tear problems when they aren't pressing or come with immediate safety risks. When placing a property on the market, however, you don't want people looking at blatant wear and tear issues. Here are some things that run through the prospective buyer's mind:  

1. The damage to the panels may not be the only problem. If the owner won't take care of the little things, have they ignored other defects in the home?
2. At first sight of the wear, someone can see the home as visually unappealing. The opinion could become hard to shake even after the prospective buyer notices nothing wrong elsewhere on the property.

Predicting how someone will react to drawbacks to the enclosure is difficult. Not everyone may take the troubles seriously. Regardless, there aren't any downsides to performing rescreening work. Besides improving looks, you reduce potential damage to the pool and the surrounding area. 

Rescreening to Change Up the Look

Rescreening work could slightly alter the look of the enclosure. Maybe the new screens could come with tinting. A tinted look could bring about a hip, futuristic factor to the enclosure's style. Visually, this could potentially benefit a seller wishing to attract buyers. A pool enclosure with nice-looking panels might not be the primary thing that attracts buyers, but it does become part of the mix.
