Wondering if it's right for you?

The four things people ask most before they buy.

  • What if I don't love the design?

    We know exterior changes are a big decision, which is why every project includes a comprehensive free revision.

  • What if I have too many trees in front of my house and you can't see it clearly?

    Easy. We stitch photos of your home together to create the full picture, minus the trees.

  • What if I already have colors or products selected?

    Great! We are happy to incorporate products or colors you've already selected into your design render or our designers will choose what they think is best for your home's architecture and personal style.

  • Will my contractor be able to make the changes?

    Yes. Every design comes with a clickable product list with details about how to purchase the items in your design. We also have a dedicated specialist to connect you with a pro from our trusted contractor network.

  • brick&batten is your trusted exterior design partner, helping homeowners and businesses reimagine their properties with clarity and confidence. Using your photos or blueprints, our team creates a custom exterior design complete with photorealistic renderings, curated colors and materials, and a detailed resource list to guide your next steps.

  • Once your order is placed and any outstanding details are finalized, our design team gets to work.

    Most Design Transformations are delivered in about 8 business days, and Paint Visualizations are delivered in about 5 business days. Your Design Project Manager will share an estimated due date after reviewing your project details. If you don’t hear from us before then, that simply means we’re busy working on your design and will reach out if we need anything.

    Need it sooner? Expedited Delivery is available at checkout for an additional fee, with full designs delivered in about 4 business days and Paint Visualizations in about 3 business days.

    Every design is custom created by real people – including Design Project Managers, Exterior Designers, Graphic Designers, Color Technicians, Landscape Experts, and other specialists. We work as efficiently as possible while giving each home the thoughtful attention it deserves, so estimated due dates may occasionally shift but will be communicated clearly.
  • Your before photo helps us create an accurate rendering.

    For best results, take a straight, level, high-resolution photo of your home or building with as much of the exterior in the frame as possible. Cell phone photos are perfect! Please upload the photo in actual size so our team has the clearest image to work from. If we need additional pictures your Design Project Manager will reach out right away.

    Prefer visuals? Here’s a brief YouTube video with tips: https://youtu.be/BZrKQ2NIqiY
  • Yes! Our commercial exterior design team has experience with a wide range of businesses and properties, including multi-residential buildings, office spaces, bridal shops, strip malls, dog grooming spas, restaurants, retail stores, banks, dental offices, assisted living facilities, event venues, and more.

    We understand that your exterior plays an important role in how customers see and experience your business. Our goal is to create curb appeal that feels professional, welcoming, and aligned with your brand. We can also incorporate building names, exterior signage, and logo concepts into your design to help your business feel polished and recognizable.

    Our commercial designs follow the same thoughtful process, quality, and pricing structure as our Design Transformation service, tailored to the needs of your business property. Learn about our exterior design services for homes and businesses here.

  • YES, if you have a blueprint, sketch, or drawing then we can create a space that’s not in your photo.

    To illustrate, we can update a structure, add a porch, outdoor covered patios, gables, dormers, change window sizes, etc. if there’s something already there. If you’re wanting to add a room above your attic, create a pool house, or something that needs architectural drawings, then we also need those to be sure your design reflects what you’re looking to accomplish.

    Please contact us for more information.

  • Absolutely! You may purchase additional sides at a lower cost the same time you are ordering your first side. Simply click the option at checkout. You will be asked to submit a clear, straight and level, photograph of every side being designed. Contact us for additional information if needed.
