Upload a photo of your house and see it with new siding, a new roof color, new trim or a new kitchen — before you commit to anything. Free tools, plus our own design team when you would rather hand it off.
Nobody should pick siding off a two-inch sample chip in a parking lot. These are the real manufacturer tools, they are free, and you run them yourself — we do not see anything unless you send it to us.
Exteriors — siding, roofing, windows, doors and paint
Take a few photos of your house from the driveway and Hover builds a model of it, then lets you swap real products from James Hardie, CertainTeed and others onto your actual walls. Free for homeowners, and the one we point most people to first.
Open HoverJames Hardie siding, trim and color
Upload one photo and see Hardie board, shingle and vertical panel on your elevation in seconds, with the real ColorPlus palette. Save the renderings and send them to us with your estimate request.
Open Hardie DesignerOwens Corning shingle colors
The fastest way to settle a roof color argument. Try Duration and Berkshire shingle colors against your siding and trim before anyone orders a single bundle.
Open Design EyeQCertainTeed roofing, siding and trim
CertainTeed's ColorView and companion tools let you put their shingle and siding lines side by side on a home, which is useful when you are replacing the roof and the siding in the same project.
Open CertainTeedSame idea, indoors. Photograph the room on your phone and try the floor, the paint and the cabinet finish before anything is ordered and before anybody has to live with it.
Flooring, plus tile on walls and backsplashes
Drag in one photo and the floor changes underneath your own furniture. No account and no app, and Shaw states the photo is used for that session only and is not stored or shared. Rotate the plank direction, put tile on a backsplash, and hold two floors side by side.
Open Shaw VisualizerPaint colors on the walls of the actual room
Upload a photo of the room and paint the walls, trim and ceiling separately. It runs in a browser with nothing to install — and it is a Cleveland company, so when you narrow it to two or three there is a store a few minutes away that will hand you the real chips.
Open Sherwin-WilliamsThe colors most designers specify from
Worth opening as a second opinion, especially if you are working from a designer's palette or have already fallen for one Benjamin Moore color. Two things to know before you start: uploading your own photo needs a free account, and it wants a laptop or a full-size tablet rather than a phone.
Open Benjamin MooreDoor style, finish, hardware, counters, backsplash and floor together
One honest caveat: you pick the kitchen layout that most resembles yours instead of uploading your own photo. It is still the fastest free way to settle the two things people go back and forth on longest — door style and cabinet finish — and to see them against a countertop, a backsplash and a floor at the same time.
Open KraftMaidThese tools are built and operated by Hover, James Hardie, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Shaw, Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore and KraftMaid. They are not ours. We earn nothing when you use them, and their terms and privacy policies are their own. We link them because they are the best free tools available to a homeowner right now.
Outside, photograph each elevation from the driveway or the sidewalk with the whole wall in frame — overcast light is better than bright sun, and four photos cover most houses. Inside, stand in the doorway with the lights on and the blinds open, and let the floor fill roughly two thirds of the frame.
Open one of the tools above and try things. There is no cost, no salesperson watching, and nobody is going to call you because you looked at a color.
Save or screenshot the versions you keep coming back to and attach them below. Tell us what you liked and what you were not sure about.
We come out, measure, check what is under the existing cladding, and give you a line-item price for the version you picked — not a range, and not a number that changes after demolition.
If you would rather not fiddle with a visualizer, that is completely fine — it is our job, not yours. Send photos of the outside of your house, or of the kitchen, bath, floors or cabinets you want changed, and tell us what you are picturing.
Our in-house interior design team puts together material and color options, and for larger projects we produce 3D renderings so you can see the finished room or elevation before we order a thing. It is included in the design phase of a Williams project, not billed as an extra.
Screenshots from any of the tools above, photos of your house, a magazine page, a Pinterest board — anything that shows us what you are after.
No. Every tool on this page — Hover, Hardie Designer, Design EyeQ, CertainTeed, Shaw, Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore and KraftMaid — is free for homeowners. They are built by the manufacturers to help you choose, and we receive nothing when you use them.
Some of them ask for an email address to save your project. That is between you and that company, and we have no visibility into it. Nothing reaches us unless you choose to send it to us.
Close, but not exact — every monitor and phone renders color differently, and a color behaves differently in Ohio overcast than it does on a lit product page. Use the tools to narrow it to two or three, then let us bring physical samples and hold them against your house. That last step is free and it matters.
Two ways. Start yourself with the interior tools above — Shaw for the floor, Sherwin-Williams for the wall color, KraftMaid for door style and cabinet finish. Then the real design work goes through our in-house team: space planning, material and finish selections, and 3D renderings for larger projects. Send photos of the room and we will start there.
Fiber cement including James Hardie, insulated and standard vinyl in D4, D4 Dutch lap, D5 and D5 Dutch lap profiles, vertical board and batten, shake and scallop accent panels, cedar, and engineered wood. Trim, soffit, fascia, shutters and wraps are part of the same scope.
Free inspection, free written estimate, and a straight answer.
