Exterior Rendering · San Francisco, CA
Curb appeal your client can see before demo.
Curb appeal is invisible on paper — elevations don't sell, and paint chips don't either. Renders double as review documents here: period trim profiles, bay-window proportions, and fog-softened daylight rendered honestly enough to sit in a planning packet without argument.
On the ground
Exterior work in this city is review work: bay windows, cornices, and siding profiles that neighbors and planners both inspect. A facade restoration render commits to the exact trim profile and the true paint scheme — three-color Victorians live or die on placement, and 'close enough' reads as wrong from the sidewalk. Vertical additions are the harder sell: the render must show the new floor stepping back honestly, shadows cast where they'll actually fall, so the packet survives neighbor notification. We rebuild from your elevation, composite against the street photo, and render fog-softened daylight rather than postcard sun. Glen Park and Bernal infill briefs often need both: a period-faithful street face and a modern garden elevation, rendered as the same honest house.

Straight answers.
Can you render from just an elevation drawing?
Yes — an elevation plus a photo of the existing house is enough. We build massing from your drawing and take material and context cues from the photo.
Do you match real siding, roofing, and window lines?
We render named products: the actual siding profile, the window manufacturer's frame sightlines, the true roof color. Boards and reviewers approve specifics, not vibes.
Can the render show landscaping?
Yes, at concept level: hardscape lines, planting massing, and trees consistent with the region. It frames the architecture without pretending to be a planting plan.
Do you render the typical San Francisco housing stock?
Renders double as review documents here: period trim profiles, bay-window proportions, and fog-softened daylight rendered honestly enough to sit in a planning packet without argument. That's the standard we hold every San Francisco exterior rendering to.
