4 out of 5 stars Overall very pleased   October 28, 2009
iagree (Pennsylvania, USA)
0 out of 2 found this review helpful

It seems that reviews of this product are very mixed. After reading through some of the more negative reviews, however, it seemed that the problem was in the amount of time necessary to master the program.

I admit it took me several hours to get a workable plan drawn up from my house, but I was able to save the layout and have been referencing back to it for several home projects since. (We recently moved in and have BIG plans!) Once my initial home plan was done (the bulk of the time), the rest of the time spent has just been fun!

We are planning a large remodel to a portion of our home to accommodate an in law suite. This program allowed us to sketch up all the necessary details and see them for comparison. Invaluable! And very unusual to be able to do outside of profession programs.

I never had any experience with CAD programs, so I feel like if I had it wouldn't have taken me quite so long to get the hang of, but even so, the pop up tutorials really made it pretty user friendly. At first, I was slightly annoyed that they popped up everytime, but then I realized that it was very helpful since there was so much info to retain!

I really liked the ability to upload pictures of an existing room. It was quick and easy. I also was unable to save these pictures, but it wasn't a big deal since they are on my computer and easy to upload when necessary. I wouldn't necessarily choose shading based on these results, but it was fun to try out entirely different color tones.

Ultimately, I would recommend this product if you are willing to put in the time to learn how to use it. It does take time, but it's worth the output for DIY home owners!

I have loved using this program--so much fuel for the imagination! It takes a little bit of getting used to, but this version has help tutorials for each step! The last version I used didn't have this option and became quite a headache after a while. I could spend hours on this program and never exhaust even a tenth of what's available. So much fun! The only warning I have is to set aside a good amount of time,'cause you won't want to stop!

HGTV Home Design & Remodeling Suite 2.0 Review

This is good software but it's very time consuming.You can do everything from start to finish on your home. The software can even paint a room in your existing home when you dowload the photo. I love the outside landscaping dictionary. You can sort thru it and find the correct plant dealing with the sun/shade/environment. Overall this is great software just very time consuming you will need the book to know how to do the different options.

1 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money   June 22, 2009

This is the third program I have purchased to design a back yard shed to comply with my town codes. A HUGE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. I drew my plan on paper faster than it took to wade through the maze of quick starts, pre embedded plans, etc. ... it was easier to draw it myself than it was to navigate the "instant help" provided in this program. 3D Home Architect 3.5 rocks compared to this, but 3.5 is not supported by vista, so we "little people" can't even draw a shed anymore. Save your money..


5 out of 5 stars Complex Software, But Worth Learning!   June 3, 2009

My husband and I were considering expanding our kitchen, but we wanted to play around with some ideas first before spending a bunch of money. The HGTV Home Design & Remodeling software is quite complex - but in my opinion, a good solution. It took several weeks of plugging away to learn the software after work to map out my home, but once I did, I could virtually walk around the room to make sure my concepts "looked" as good as they did in my mind. I might not recommend this for people who get really frustrated with learning new programs - but if you take the time, it's a great tool.
