How the Design Studio Works

Most people can't picture a remodel from a sketch or a material sample. This tool closes that gap using a photo of your actual space.

  1. Take a photo

    Snap the room, yard or exterior you want to change, straight from your phone.

  2. Pick a space and style

    Answer a few quick questions: what you want built, the look you like, what stays and what goes.

  3. Generate the after

    The Design Studio writes a detailed prompt. Paste it into ChatGPT with your photo to create the after image.

  4. Compare and price it

    Put before and after side by side, and see a ballpark cost range for the work.

  5. Get a real estimate

    Email your design to us. Hunter reviews it personally and follows up with a real number.

Why a Contractor Built It

Folsom City Carpentry is a licensed general contractor (CA License #1130720) serving Sacramento, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay and the surrounding region. We built the Design Studio because the best projects start with a clear picture of the goal. When you're ready, the same crew that helped you picture it can build it.

Questions

Is the design visualizer free?

Yes. The Design Studio is free and there is nothing to sign up for. You only share your contact details if you want a real estimate.

Do I need ChatGPT?

To create the after image, yes. The Design Studio writes the prompt for you; you paste it into ChatGPT with your photo. A free ChatGPT account that can make images works.

How accurate is the cost range?

It is a ballpark to help you plan, based on typical Sacramento-area costs for that kind of project. A real number depends on what is behind the walls, permits and finishes, which is why the last step is a real estimate from a licensed contractor.

What projects can I visualize?

Kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living spaces, garages and garage conversions, backyards, decks, patios, and home exteriors.
