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.
Best all-around
Hover
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.
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.
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.
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.
These tools are built and operated by Hover, James Hardie, Owens Corning and
CertainTeed. 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.
How To Use Them
Four steps from a phone photo to a real price.
01
Stand back and shoot
Photograph each elevation from the driveway or the sidewalk, in even daylight, with the whole wall in frame. Overcast is better than bright sun. Four photos are plenty for most houses.
02
Play with it yourself
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.
03
Send us what you liked
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.
04
We price the real thing
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.
Rather Have Us Do It
Send us the photo. We will do the design work.
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.
Exterior: siding type and color, trim, shutters,
fascia, soffit, roof color, windows and doors
Interior: cabinetry, countertops, tile, flooring,
paint, lighting and fixtures
Material samples brought to your house so you see
them in your own light
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.
Answers
Design Studio Questions
Do the visualizer tools cost anything?
No. Hover, Hardie Designer, Design EyeQ and CertainTeed's design tools are all free for homeowners. They are built by the manufacturers to help you choose, and we receive nothing when you use them.
Will using one of these tools put me on a sales list?
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.
How accurate are the colors on my screen?
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.
Can you show me what a new kitchen or bath would look like?
Yes. Interior work goes through our in-house design team rather than a public visualizer — space planning, material and finish selections, and 3D renderings for larger projects. Send photos of the room and we will start there.
What siding types do you actually install?
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.
