Google Street View had taken a picture of my house during my
renovation project. Needless to say, it does not not pleasant as I
have renovation garbage in front of my house. How do I get Google to
reshoot / retake (picture) of my house? Thanks in advance.

If you don't like what you see then you should google not to show it..
which would be the easy option. then when say in a few year google
retake the whole area again then you can request to show.

Hi,
Elaborating Rashid's suggestion, you can request for removal of the
image using the 'Report a problem' link on the bottom left corner of
the view on Google Maps. Additionally, you can also request for better
pictures to be taken in the description of the problem.

Hi Rajib Khan
It is unfortunate that your home was in disrepair when the imagery was
taken, but I strongly have my doubts that you will get anyone to re-
image or re-do the street view any time soon.

One alternative might be to consider creating a Geo-Referenced Photo-
Textured 3D Model of your finished home and upload it to the 3DWH for
review and approval so it can be seen in GE.
At least then, those looking can see a 3D representation of your newly
renovated home.
