See exterior changes on the house you already have
Upload a street-facing photo and try siding, an entry door, a garage door, planting, and lighting on the same house. RenoLuma lists a planning range for each visible installed change.
Drag the divider to compare this RenoLuma example. Open a marker to see estimated materials, labor, and a total. Check the roofline, garage wing, openings, and driveway boundary against the source photo.
Mark what should stay in place
The exterior direction should not quietly change the house shape or the site layout. Protect these boundaries while testing visible finishes.
The roofline and the massing
Keep the massing, pitch, and garage wing while testing siding, trim, and color. RenoLuma checks those shapes against the source photo before it creates the cost list.
Window and door openings
Replacing a unit in its current opening is different from cutting a new opening. Protect the opening while changing the window, door, and surrounding trim.
The driveway and the walk
Keep the driveway and front-walk boundaries while trying another surface. A resurfacing range does not cover regrading, drainage, or a new path layout.
What the pictured changes may cost
This pictured exterior spreads the cost across siding, doors, the walkway, and planting. Compare the full direction with a smaller first phase before choosing the scope.

These planning ranges apply to the pictured room and its visible changes. Your photo gets its own list. A contractor still has to measure and quote the work.
Compare the full exterior with a smaller first phase
In this example, landscaping and siding each start around $7,000. The front door and garage door together cost more than the siding range.
Render the complete direction, then try a smaller version with the doors and planting. Comparing both cost lists shows what moving work into a later phase does to the planning total.
