Hello, We are buying a fixer-upper house for resale. The 2nd floor windows are a few inches above floor level. We are replacing them but are wondering if we should provide guards across the bottom half of the window prior to selling the home and do you recommend a certain type/style of guard to use. Would wooden shutters be a possibility? As parents we would ourselves be concerned with the low windows and are wondering if these will adversely affect the sale of the home.

Hi Irene. I think very highly of you for expressing your concern. In my opinion, i think you should do whatever is going to make you sleep well at night. I don’t think wood shutters would do it for me though.
