Questions We Get Asked
About
Is Spatial View Lab a real estate brokerage or a photography service?
No. It is an independent editorial project — we write about spatial planning, property imaging, and renovation technology. We do not sell brokerage services, photography, or 3D tours, and we are not affiliated with any past business that may have operated on this domain.
Tools
Do the calculators send my numbers anywhere?
No. Every calculation on this site runs in your browser with plain JavaScript. Nothing you type is sent to a server, stored, or logged.
Tools
How accurate are the square footage, paint, and flooring calculators?
They use standard geometry and coverage math with editable assumptions (coverage per gallon, waste factor, and so on). Treat the output as a solid planning estimate, then confirm material-specific coverage against the manufacturer's label before you buy.
Imaging
Why is there a DPI/aspect-ratio converter on a real estate content site?
Listing photography has its own practical math — cropping to a platform's required ratio, or checking whether a photo has enough resolution to print a flyer — that most general-purpose converters don't frame around property use cases.
California Spaces
Does California Spaces cover the whole state?
No — it focuses on Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and the surrounding North Bay towns listed on that page. The rest of the site's three pillars are written for a national US audience, not just California.
Editorial
How often is new material published?
On a rolling basis as genuinely useful, well-sourced material is ready — we'd rather publish less often than pad the site with generic or repetitive posts.
Who Writes This
About the Lab
SV
Spatial View Lab is written by a small editorial desk, not a single named agent — this is a technology and planning resource, not a personal brokerage or contractor brand, so we'd rather be accountable as a desk that checks its sourcing than invent a personal backstory.
