FAQ — exterior

Can I plan exterior paint and siding from one photo on a weekend?

Yes. Upload a clear facade photo, pick a style, and you usually get a preview in about one to two minutes—enough to compare two directions before you buy swatches or call a painter. Best quality adds a materials brief when you need a contractor-ready summary.

Quick preview or Best quality for exterior?

Quick (1 credit) to compare styles with family or an HOA board. Best (2+ credits) when you want numbered callouts on the photo and a Finish | Where | Spec materials brief—not a nursery plant list.

Exterior vs Quick Edit paint vs Front Yard—which tool?

Use Quick Edit exterior paint for a single color tweak (1 credit). Use this Exterior tool for whole-facade style presets and a materials brief. Use Front Yard for planting, paths, and lawn—not wall cladding.

Will AI rebuild my roof or move my windows?

No—makeover mode keeps massing, roof silhouette, and window/door openings. Finishes, porch details, and colors change. Results vary by photo; add notes if something looks structural and regenerate.

Can I use this for HOA / ARC paint approval?

Use Best exports as visual Option A/B attachments with your community palette and physical swatches. We do not file paperwork—follow your HOA template and confirm exact manufacturer colors locally.

Does Best quality include Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore codes?

The brief describes finish categories and specs for discussion—not guaranteed brand color codes. Match swatches at the store or use your HOA-approved palette for final approval.

What photo works best?

Front or side elevation in daylight: walls, roof, and entry together. Avoid tight lawn-only crops, heavy shade across the whole facade, or photos where the house is tiny in frame.

What does location do for exterior?

Your city steers climate-fit material notes in the Best brief (UV, moisture, freeze-thaw). We show a climate context—not your street address on the image.

Does this replace a contractor, engineer, or moisture inspection?

No. Visual planning only— not sheathing repair, flashing design, structural changes, or permits. Fix moisture and rot before cosmetic siding or paint.
