How to Make Confident Exterior Design Choices—Without the Guesswork
Using EDCO’s Instant Design Tool to Visualize, Explore, and Decide
Starting an exterior remodeling project can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re changing your siding color, upgrading your roof, or designing a full exterior from scratch, one of the hardest points in the project is making decisions before you know how the finished project will look.
That’s where a design tool like EDCO’s Instant Design, powered by Hover, can make all the difference. This isn’t just a “visualizer”—it’s a way to move from uncertainty to clarity during the early stages of planning your home’s exterior.
When to Use the Instant Design Tool
You don’t need to have everything figured out before trying it. In fact, this tool is most helpful when you’re just starting to explore:
- You have a general idea of updating your exterior, but don’t know where to start
- You’re debating between colors or profiles
- You’re stuck between modern or traditional styles
- You want to see how upgrades might look before talking to a contractor
How It Works (and Why It’s Easy)
With Instant Design, you can upload a photo of your own home—or use a library of inspirational starter images to experiment. This flexibility makes it approachable whether you're ready to remodel or just collecting ideas.
In just a few steps, you can:
- Upload a photo or choose a sample home
- Virtually “re-side” or “re-roof” your house with real EDCO siding and roofing colors and profiles
- Try out different styles and textures side-by-side
- Save or share your designs for future reference or project planning
No design experience needed—this is built for everyone, not just professionals.
Why Homeowners Love It
A remodel is a big investment—and most regrets come from decisions made without full confidence. The Instant Design Tool helps you avoid that by giving you a realistic, interactive preview of your home’s potential. It answers key questions like:
- Will this darker color feel too bold once it's on the full exterior?
- Does this roofing profile match my siding style?
- How would my home look with more contrast—or less?
It’s not about guessing. It’s about seeing it clearly, before you commit.
Not Sure Where to Start? Try the Inspiration Route
If you don’t have a photo of your home ready—or you’re feeling creatively blocked—the tool offers preloaded homes to start designing right away. These are great for inspiration and help you get a feel for different combinations of color, texture, and layout. You can even model ideas before you bring them to your builder.

With EDCO’s Instant Design Tool, you’re not just visualizing a new look—you’re setting yourself up to make smart, stress-free decisions. Whether you're a homeowner dreaming up a new vision or a contractor trying to help a client move forward, this tool simplifies the process and gives you something solid to work from.
