Why We Started AfterReno
I spent over 8 years working as a contractor, walking clients through renovations using nothing but a flat 2D plan and a lot of hand-waving. Every project, the same problem repeated itself: clients couldn't picture the finished space, scope changed mid-build, and budgets blew up over decisions that should've been made before a single wall came down.
I saw firsthand how much time, money, and trust gets lost when a client says "that's not what I imagined" three weeks into a build. The real problem was never the construction — it was that nobody could see the result before committing to it.
When AI-assisted design tools matured, I saw an opportunity: the same kind of visualization that used to take weeks and cost thousands could now be done faster and far more affordably — without cutting corners on accuracy. AfterReno was built on that idea. A real designer, using modern tools, delivering renders that used to be out of reach for most homeowners and contractors.
Today, AfterReno helps people see their renovation before they build it — remotely, affordably, and fast. That's the studio I wish I'd had when I was still on site.
