USE VIRTUAL DESIGN SOFTWARE TO PLAN YOUR HOME REMODELING IN CENTRAL CT
There is some great new technology that allows you to design the rooms in your home virtually. That’s right, you don’t need to be an artist or an architect; you don’t even need to be able to use CAD! These programs are user-friendly and allow you to choose from a variety of layouts, materials, styles, and colors for kitchen design, bathroom renovation, and exterior home remodeling . You can try as many permutations as you want, and you can see each modification right away. In essence, you can see what your remodel would look like before you commit to a project.
Design it, refine it, and look forward to its fruition.
SOFTWARE FOR EXTERIOR REMODELING CT
HomeVisions software at http://norandex.renoworks.com/ allows you to design the entire exterior of your home: roofing, vinyl siding styles, masonry, windows, trim, entry door, paint, garage. You can choose from a variety of brands and colors for each component. Below is an example of a virtual design from a stock photo, but you can also upload a photo of your actual home. As you can see, the software allows you to change pretty much everything, except the landscaping!
Here are the steps to get you started:
- Upload a photo of your home, or select a stock photo of a home that is similar to yours (bi-level/bungalow/cape cod/colonial/farmhouse/ranch/soft contemporary/tudor/two story/victorian)
- Underneath the picture of your home you can select the part you want to modify. When you hold your mouse over one of the selections, it will highlight that part of the home in neon green so that you know exactly which part it is referring to.
- Click on the part you want to modify, and select the appropriate category from the column on the right (for example, if you want to change the trim color, click on paint)
- When you are finished, you can save, e-mail, and print the house you designed. The printout also shows you the selections you made for each component (brand name, color, ect.)! Example from above modification:
Roofing 1-1/2″ SSR Color: Charcoal Gray (851) Siding Premium Stain Finished Perfection Shingles Color: Mahogany Brick Hand Laid Brick Color: Used Red - Once you have designed your dream home, bring your printout to our Meriden showroom and we will provide cost estimates and suggestions. If you don’t know where to begin, we will help you from the start.
