Privacy | Offers some seclusion | Varies but may be less private |
Maintenance | Generally low-maintenance | May require more upkeep |
Cost | Usually more cost-effective | Generally more expensive to build and maintain |
The cost of a smaller and simpler French balcony is $1,000 to $3,000 in general, while larger, custom-designed balconies with high-end materials can exceed $10,000 or more.
