AI Roof Color Visualizer

How it works

1. 1

   Upload a clear exterior photo of your home

   Use a front-elevation or 3/4-angle photo where the roofline is clearly visible. Aerial drone shots and photos taken in flat overcast light produce the most accurate recoloring because uniform light means the AI can distinguish shingle texture from shadow. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: Standard single-family homes: results in 25–35 seconds. Homes with complex multi-plane roofs or steep gable pitches may need one refinement pass to handle shadow areas accurately.
2. 2

   Describe the roof color and shingle style

   Type your instruction directly — no marking or selecting required. 'Change the roof shingles to charcoal dimensional architectural shingles' is enough for the AI to recolor the entire roofline. Include the shingle type (architectural, 3-tab, metal standing seam), color name, and any texture notes. The AI understands common shingle brand color names like 'Weathered Wood', 'Pewter Gray', and 'Shakewood'.

   Tip: Reference real brand color names in your prompt for the most accurate results: 'Owens Corning Duration in Estate Gray' or 'GAF Timberline HDZ in Charcoal.' These names are in the model's vocabulary and produce more realistic shingle textures.

   Check shingle planes, ridgelines, and gutters

   Zoom to 100% on three areas: the ridge cap, any dormers, and the fascia/gutter line. These are the transition zones where roof meets sky and where the AI is most likely to show blending artifacts. Verify that gutters retain their original color and that the new shingle color reads consistently across all visible roof planes.

4. 4

   Refine specific planes with markers if needed

   If a dormer or rear-facing slope didn't recolor consistently, tap a marker directly on that plane and regenerate: 'change this roof section to match the charcoal architectural shingles on the main roof.' Markers constrain the edit to that specific area without re-processing the entire image.

   Tip: Markers work best for isolated missed areas, not for correcting color tone across the whole roof. If the overall color is slightly off, adjust your description first ('darker charcoal, not medium gray') before using markers.
