See your new roof before you sign the contract
Upload one photo of your house and our AI roof visualizer swaps the roof photorealistically — 6 materials, any color, from asphalt shingle to standing-seam metal. A $10k–50k decision, previewed in 30 seconds. Free to try — 6 credits at sign-up.
An AI roof visualizer takes a single photo of your house and replaces the roof photorealistically — same walls, same trees, same camera angle, same daylight. GenRoom's model follows your real roofline, ridges, dormers and chimneys, so the preview shows what a roofer would actually install, not a stock render.
What you can change in seconds
- Material — asphalt shingle, standing-seam metal, clay tile, natural slate, cedar shake, flat modern membrane
- Color — charcoal, weathered wood, terracotta, forest green, slate gray, black, light reflective tones
- Combinations — test a roof color against your existing siding, brick or trim before committing
Reroofing runs roughly $5k–12k for asphalt, $10k–25k for metal, $20k–50k+ for slate or tile — and the color stays on your house for 15 to 100 years depending on material. Seeing it on your actual home first is the cheapest step of the whole project. Note: this is a visual preview, not an engineering or structural assessment — your roofer still measures and inspects on site.

Homeowners
Test 6 roof materials and colors on your own house before committing to a $10k–50k replacement. Share previews with your partner and your HOA.
Roofing contractors
Close more bids by showing the client their house with the new roof on the first visit — no sample boards, no expensive rendering software.
Real estate agents
Show buyers what a dated roof could look like replaced — a tired shingle roof kills curb appeal in listing photos, and a preview reframes the negotiation.
Insurance and storm repair
After hail or wind damage, show the homeowner replacement options in minutes — asphalt like-for-like versus an upgrade to metal or tile.
Frequently asked questions
- Yes — you get 6 free credits when you sign up, enough for three roof previews, no card needed. Paid packs add more credits, remove the watermark and include free 4K on Basic and Pro.
- The AI preserves your house exactly — walls, windows, roofline, lighting — and renders the new material at realistic scale and texture. It's a faithful visual preview of color and material; final shade can vary slightly with manufacturer batch and sun exposure, so confirm with a physical sample before ordering.
- JPEG or PNG, 1024 pixels wide or higher, taken from the street or driveway showing the full roof and front of the house. Daylight photos work best. Phone photos are fine.
- Six core materials: asphalt shingle, standing-seam metal, clay tile, natural slate, cedar shake, and flat modern. Each in a range of realistic colors — from charcoal and weathered wood to terracotta and light reflective tones. Lifespans differ a lot: asphalt 15–30 years, metal 40–70, slate 75–100+.
- Yes. Light and reflective roofs bounce back more solar heat and can cut cooling costs in hot climates, while dark roofs absorb heat — useful info before you lock in a color for the next few decades. Use the visualizer to check whether a lighter shade still suits your house.
- Yes — that's a primary use case. Download the image and email it. Contractors use it as the brief for material and color, then do their own measurements and inspection on site. The render is a visual preview, not a structural or engineering assessment.
- Yes, on every plan — for roofing sales presentations, real estate listings, insurance claim documentation. Free results carry a small watermark; paid packs remove it.
