Virtual facade renovation: give a property its curb appeal back
The facade is the first photo in the listing, which makes it the thumbnail that decides the click. Stained render, peeling shutters or tired woodwork are enough to make a sound property look like a wreck.
Virtual facade renovation shows the building with the exterior work done: even render or paint, cleaned walls, restored joinery. Volumes, openings and architecture do not move.

BeforeAfter
When to use it
- A structurally sound house whose facade has not been redone in twenty years
- A property where exterior work is approved but not yet carried out
- An income building presented to investors
- A village or townhouse whose potential is invisible under the grime
Best practices
- Stay within colors permitted by local planning or historic district rules.
- If exterior work is already approved and budgeted by the HOA or freeholder, say so in the listing: the render becomes useful information rather than a promise.
- Never remove a structural crack, a party-wall feature or visible utility runs.
- Add sky replacement if the photo was taken on a grey day.

Frequently asked questions
Can I show a renovated facade that is not renovated yet?
Yes, if the image is clearly presented as a projection and the original photo stays available. It is particularly relevant when the exterior work is already approved or budgeted.
Does the tool change the architecture of the building?
No. Volumes, openings, roofs and structural elements are preserved. Only the surface condition and the finishes are shown renovated.
Can I hide a crack in the facade?
No. A crack is a material feature that can influence a purchase decision; removing it would be concealing a defect, which breaches FTC advertising rules and UK consumer protection law.
