Any Architects in the house?

I'm planning on renovating my house (siding, windows, landscape, etc). I would like to render my house using different colors, siding materials, etc. Is there a decent tool to use for this purpose that's free or lower cost? What should I consider? Thanks in advance!

 

I've been out of the arch 3D world for ages, but still hear good things about sketchup: https://www.sketchup.com/try-sketchup#for-personal

 

Check with some of your local paint vendors. I think some of them have tools in store that will allow you to doctor a photo.

 

Sherwin Williams has an app.

 

I used https://kardesign.co.uk/motorcyclevisuals
He's well known for bikes but does it all...

 

I'm only licensed in NC. If you are in any other state, ignore my advice.

 

Thought you lived in S.C. Guess it doesn't matter now that you're retired.

 

I do live in SC, but was in NC when I took the test. I've been working my way north on state at a time. Back to NC is next. I worked to hard to get the license. I will not let it lapse.

 

Know anything about Savannah Lakes in Mccormick?

 

I know where it is and have a Great Aunt that lives near there. What would you like to know?

 

Looking to get out of NYS,gonna stop there and check it out on our way back from Fl. in a few weeks.

 

The nearest towns are McCormick SC and Lincolnton GA. Both are small...nice but with limited resources. Greenwood is about 25 minutes away, smallish, but very nice. Mt mom grew up in Ware Shoals about 15 miles north of Greenwood. Greenville, SC is about 45 min to an hour from Greenwood and there is plenty to do there. Augusta is about 45 minutes from McCormick, so either Greenwod or Augusta would be your go to for most things. I have lived near Lincolnton for almost 30 years and cannot tell you much of anything about it.

Winters are mild, summer is hot and humid. Riding season is almost year round.

Thanks,Rick I was wondering about Greenwood also,Don't want to further hijack this thread,thx again.

 

Unless you just want to live at the lake, my personal choice would be Greenwood or Greeneville. You might also want to check Lake Greenwood.

 

Let me know when you get to North Carolina. I'll treat you to a cup of coffee at my secret mountain hideout.

 

So, you are looking for a professional's free advice, based on their years of experience, so you don't have to pay anyone to assist you? I'm sure every architect here will be happy to help you out.

One receives what one pays for, you know...
