Virtual Exterior Design Services: How They Work

Virtual Exterior Design Services: How They Work

How virtual exterior design services work

Virtual exterior design starts with a photo or 3D model of a home's current exterior, then digitally applies different siding materials, paint colors, roofing, and landscaping options so a homeowner or builder can compare choices side by side.

This is faster and cheaper than test-painting a section of a home or ordering physical material samples for every option under consideration.

Who uses virtual exterior design services

Homeowners planning a renovation use it to avoid costly color or material mistakes, while builders and remodelers use it as a sales tool to help clients commit to a design faster.

Real estate agents also use exterior visualization to show buyers what a dated home could look like after a facelift, which can support a listing or renovation-focused sale.

Questions to ask before you decide

  • Does the service work from a photo, or does it require a full 3D model?
  • How many design variations are included in a standard package?
  • Can the final rendering be used for contractor bids and material orders?
