🏡 How Outdoor Living Spaces Add Real Value to Your Home

In today’s market, homebuyers aren’t just looking for granite countertops and open-concept kitchens — they’re searching for livable outdoor spaces that feel like a true extension of the home. That’s where we come in.

At Chamber Home Designs, we specialize in high-end outdoor living solutions — from patio covers and pergolas to screen rooms and sunrooms — that don’t just make your home more beautiful… they make it more valuable.

💸 The ROI of Outdoor Living Spaces

According to real estate experts, a thoughtfully designed outdoor living area can increase your property’s value by 8–12% — and in some cases, even more in coastal or higher-income neighborhoods like Wall Township, Point Pleasant, Manasquan, and Rumson.

Here’s how each of these custom outdoor features boosts your equity and enjoyment:

1. Covered Patios & Pergolas = All-Season Use

Adding a custom patio cover or an operable pergola instantly upgrades your backyard by creating shaded, functional square footage that works in sun, rain, or even light snow.

Buyers are drawn to homes with structured outdoor spaces that make outdoor dining, relaxing, and entertaining easier and more luxurious.

✅ Boosts curb appeal✅ Protects your patio furniture✅ Adds architectural interest and modern design appeal

2. Screen Rooms = Comfort & Privacy

Our screen rooms offer the perfect in-between — the airiness of outdoor living with the protection from bugs, weather, and allergens that buyers crave.

Whether starting with a patio cover or building from scratch, screen rooms:

• Keep out pests

• Provide peaceful privacy

• Serve as a bonus room for lounging or entertaining

🏠 Many homebuyers view screen rooms as an “extra room” — and will pay more for homes that have them.

3. Sunrooms = Year-Round Living Space

Sunrooms are a true luxury upgrade. Fully enclosed with windows or glass panels, sunrooms add square footage that can be enjoyed year-round — and often appraise as part of the interior living space.

They:

• Let in natural light

• Can be heated/cooled for 4-season use

• Are perfect for reading, plants, remote work, or relaxing

💰 In NJ, a well-designed sunroom can add $20,000–$40,000+ to your home’s value — especially when done with high-end finishes and thoughtful design.

4. Pergolas = Luxury Curb Appeal with Function

Whether freestanding or attached, custom pergolas (especially operable pergolas) give homes a high-end, magazine-worthy look — while adding value through usability.

Our motorized pergolas can be adjusted for shade, rain protection, or open sky — offering a flexible, tech-forward feature buyers absolutely love.

✨ A beautiful pergola becomes a focal point of your yard — and a major selling feature.

🧰 Real Numbers: What’s It Worth?

• Covered patio or pergola: Recoups approx. 65–80% of cost at resale

• Screen room addition: Can add $15,000–$25,000+ in perceived value

• Sunroom: Often increases home value by $20,000–$40,000+ depending on finishes and size

• Full outdoor living design (kitchen, fireplace, seating): Adds $25,000–$50,000+ in asking price
