About CurbMuse

Last updated: November 5, 2026

CurbMuse shows you changes to your home before you pay for them. You upload a photo of your own house, yard, kitchen or bathroom and see it with a new exterior style, paint colors, siding, a metal roof, new landscaping or a remodel. It's made for US homeowners and for the painters, roofers, siding installers, landscapers and remodelers who work with them.

Why it exists

Exterior projects cost a lot and are hard to undo, yet most decisions are made from a small paint chip, a siding sample or a photo of someone else's house. Seeing your own house first makes it much easier to rule ideas out, agree on a direction at home, and give a contractor a clear picture of what you want.

The tools

How the AI works

  • Paint visualizer: Meta's SAM 3 model finds the siding, trim, front door and garage door in your photo. The new colors are then applied in your browser, keeping the light, shadows and texture of the photo, so the color you pick is the color you see.
  • Exterior, siding, metal roof and landscape designs: Google's Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) model edits your photo. Every request tells it to keep the shape of your house, the roofline, the windows and doors, and the camera angle, and to change only what you chose.
  • Kitchen and bathroom designs: Nano Banana makes the design on your photo. For full remodels, new layouts and empty rooms, Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) then refines that design in a second pass, told to keep the room and the camera exactly as they are.
  • All models run on fal.ai. Notes you type are checked by Waffo Prompt Sift, and every result passes an image safety check before you see it. Details are in our Acceptable Use Policy.

How we test it

Every style, material and color on the site is tried on example photos before it goes live, and the results are checked one by one. When an option doesn't work reliably, we take it out. For example, the metal roof tool used to offer metal shingles and stone-coated steel, but the AI kept drawing long metal panels for them, so those options were removed. Each tool page has a section on what the AI still gets wrong and what to do about it.

The example photos on the site are AI-generated sample houses, not customer homes, and the designs on them were made with the same tools you use. We don't show testimonials or user numbers we can't back up.

What it can't do

An AI design is a preview, not a construction plan or a product rendering. It doesn't know your local building codes, HOA rules, climate or prices, and screens show color differently. Use it to choose a direction, then check real samples and get advice and quotes from a local professional.

Your photos

Your photos are only used to make your designs. Designs are saved in your account for 30 days and then deleted, and you can delete them sooner. We don't sell your photos or show them publicly. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Pricing

New accounts get 3 free credits. After that you can buy a one-time credit pack or the monthly Contractor plan; see Pricing. Payments are handled by Waffo, our merchant of record, and unused credit packs can be refunded within 14 days from your dashboard. The full rules are in the Terms of Service.
