A New Era for Exterior Remodeling: Extear Launches
In a significant advancement for the exterior remodeling industry, Tripqot has announced the launch of its innovative platform,
Extear, set to roll out on December 1, 2025. This web service promises to transform the remodeling experience by utilizing AI technology to generate before-and-after images and cost estimates based on photos uploaded by users. This groundbreaking approach disregards the traditional two-week waiting period for quotes, allowing homeowners to plan their remodeling projects instantaneously using just their smartphones.
Background of Development: Applying Insights from Travel Services to Construction
Many homeowners often abandon their remodeling plans due to two main challenges: the inability to visualize the completed project and unclear pricing. Leveraging experience from managing the travel planning service
tripqot, the team at Tripqot has cultivated a robust ability to convert vague user requests into concrete plans through AI. This expertise has been transferred to the complex domain of
exterior and landscaping, where shared visuals are often challenging. By visually representing concepts that words often fail to convey, Extear aims to bridge the gap between user expectations and contractor offerings, ultimately enhancing the satisfaction of the remodeling journey.
The Solutions Provided by Extear
Extear addresses three core challenges faced by homeowners looking to remodel:
1.
Overcoming Visualization Barriers: With the power of real-time simulation, users can upload their photos, and the AI seamlessly combines them with potential exterior elements like carports and fences, providing a realistic portrayal of the remodeled space in mere seconds. This instant visualization helps homeowners ascertain whether the proposed changes align with their existing home aesthetics, easing their decision-making process.
2.
Eliminating Waiting and Anxiety: The platform generates immediate cost estimates based on analyzed measurements and prevailing market prices, without the need for traditional sales engagements. This allows users to understand their budget without the typical pressure, offering a solution that resonates well with today’s consumers who prefer to consult professionals only when necessary.
3.
Addressing Craft Labor Shortages: By establishing a
Nagoya Operation Center in Nagoya City, the platform takes on the cumbersome administrative tasks such as quote generation and scheduling. This means local skilled craftsmen can focus entirely on the physical work, creating a scenario where quality and efficiency coexist. Homeowners benefit from a system where IT and administrative functions are handled centrally, while on-site tasks remain in the capable hands of experienced professionals.
How to Use Extear: A Three-Step Process
Using Extear is straightforward:
1.
Capture: Take a photo of the area you wish to remodel, whether it be a garden, driveway, or entrance.
2.
AI Analysis: Upload the photo to the Extear website, where it will be analyzed and transformed within seconds.
3.
Review: Users receive both a visual representation and a cost estimate instantly. If satisfied, they can then request detailed quotes or site assessments from contractors.
Future Developments
Starting from the Nagoya Operation Center, Extear plans to expand its customer-centric approach throughout the Tokai region and nationwide, all while embodying the principles of accessibility and comfort. On the technological side, improvements in AI-generated images are just the beginning; the platform aims to incorporate location-specific price data to optimize quote accuracy. Additionally, tools will soon be available for contractors that feature AI-generated design blueprints, construction instructions, and contracts—further strengthening the connection between users and builders through technology, and accelerating digital transformation in the construction sector.
