The founders of iDeare Inc., Andrea Dattilo (CEO) and Jeff Esposito (COO), knew there had to be a better way for homeowners and designers to complete remodeling projects. Currently, remodel designers visit homes, take manual measurements, and sketch designs on graph paper. The designer and homeowner go back and forth for weeks until a design is selected. Then there are the conversations about styles, colors, and preferences, and let's not forget, multiple time-intensive visits to numerous showrooms to pick materials.

To add to the problem, the current CAD software used by most remodelers is cumbersome and requires significant expertise while only producing two-dimensional designs until rendered. This adds to the complexity and time needed to finalize remodel plans. Communication gaps between homeowners and remodelers also cause problems. Homeowners may not effectively convey their preferences, leading to misalignments between their vision and the remodeler's interpretation. All this friction often leads to a not-so-enjoyable, less-than-ideal experience (not to mention an over-budget one). 

Simply put, the design processes for the remodeling sector are stuck in a timewarp—they are outdated, manual, and inefficient. Remodeling is a decision-intensive proposition as it is, so when you combine it with archaic practices and technologies, the time and cost of each project greatly increase.

Together with Quinn Buchanan, their talented CTO, Dattilo and Esposito created a proprietary platform that aligns the homeowner's vision with professional design. "It's an artificial intelligence-aided design and sales enablement platform for the remodeling industry targeted at remodelers, designers, and manufacturers of products for the remodeling industry. We're basically changing the way that buyers buy and sellers sell in the kitchen and bath remodeling space."

iDeare Inc. has harnessed the power of VeraAI to create a solution that reduces the inefficiencies that plague the current process by condensing the design, layout, and selection process from weeks to under two hours. This mammoth time saver allows clients to see their remodel in real time, complete with material selections and a bill of materials. 

"What we are doing with iDeare Inc. is we are moving this sector from analog to digital," asserts Dattilo. "By digitizing and streamlining the entire process, we are revolutionizing the remodeling sector," explains Esposito. 

"Our solution is in real-time. Users will see a visual representation of the remodel within two hours of the initial meeting. Owners can select materials and visualize everything, reducing costly mid-project changes for remodelers and for consumers alike."

iDeare's platform provides immediate design options from a simple photograph of the space, eliminating the need for labor-intensive manual measurements. Homeowners can now visualize and modify designs instantly. Users can also make design changes in real-time using natural language commands, ensuring precise customization without traditional CAD software's complexity. Within hours, iDeare delivers a comprehensive project proposal, including detailed designs, a bill of materials and accurate cost estimates, empowering homeowners to make informed decisions swiftly and confidently.

iDeare's solution also affords designers and remodelers the ability to showcase their past work in a 3D portfolio that captures the quality of work and design, unlike traditional and costly lookbooks. It also minimizes the painstaking and inconvenient task of bringing in samples of flooring, countertops, and cabinet materials. "Our AI-driven product catalog ensures that users have the latest and most attractive options at their fingertips. We empower businesses to win projects, sell more jobs, make fewer mistakes, enhance their reputation, and provide an unparalleled virtual exploration," explains Dattilo.

"Our leadership team at iDeare Inc. brings a wealth of experience and expertise to drive our innovation forward," shares Dattilo. Dattilo has over a decade of experience in sales leadership to drive revenue growth. Her ability to forge strategic partnerships for the company has also been key. Esposito adds more than 20 years of kitchen and bath remodeling experience and is recognized for his expertise in design and sales. The company's CTO, Buchanan, uses his 30 years of experience in AR, VR, and AI technologies, including projects with industry giants like Nintendo, to drive the innovative features of iDeare's platform, ensuring it is at the forefront of technological advancement in the remodeling industry.

By enhancing accessibility and user-friendly features and bringing the industry into the digital age, iDeare has the potential to expand the market size exponentially, making professional-grade design tools accessible to a broader audience of remodelers and homeowners.

Esposito adds, "A remodeler's/designer's reputation is everything in this industry. Our solution helps them deliver excellence at every stage of their projects. Projects are completed with fewer hiccups, delays, or surprises, which translates to extremely satisfied clients and an esteemed professional reputation."

Traditional processes have long been burdened by inefficiencies—multiple visits, manual measurements, and extensive back-and-forth between clients and designers. These outdated methods not only consume valuable time but also inflate costs and frustrate both homeowners and professionals alike. iDeare Inc. is not merely transforming home remodeling—it is redefining how homes are designed, visualized, and brought to life. By streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and expanding market opportunities, iDeare is leading the world toward a future where remodeling projects are simpler, more efficient, and more accessible than ever before.
