When most people first hear about Hover, they think of accurate, reliable measurements — and for good reason. Our measurement technology remains the gold standard in the industry.
But Hover has evolved into much more than a measurement tool. Today, it’s a connected platform that supports your entire workflow: from the first contact with a homeowner all the way to a signed contract. With Hover, you can manage marketing, sales, scoping, estimation, ordering, and integrations all in one place.
Example Hover workflow
Engage homeowners from the start
When a homeowner visits your website, they can use an interactive 2D design tool to visualize products and styles before they ever speak with your team. Their selections automatically sync to Hover, giving your reps insight into preferences and helping them come prepared with personalized recommendations. This builds trust early and positions your business as professional and responsive.
Capture property photos and measurements
On-site, your representative captures property photos through the Hover app. Those photos generate accurate and comprehensive measurements and a customizable inspection report — ensuring every estimate, order, and conversation is based on reliable, comprehensive data. With everything in one place, your team can spend less time managing details and more time moving projects forward.
Bring projects to life with 3D visualization
At the kitchen table or in a virtual consultation, you can open the homeowner’s 2D design and transition that into a scaled 3D model. Seeing their actual home rendered with product choices helps homeowners make confident decisions, reduces rework, and builds transparency throughout the sales process.
Generate and compare detailed estimates
Hover’s estimation tools combine labor, tax, and material costs to create accurate, professional proposals in minutes. You can compare options side by side, add financing or warranty details, and integrate seamlessly with ordering and production workflows.
Connect your workflow through integrations
We’ve spent years building partnerships with the industry’s top construction platforms. By leveraging Hover’s integrations, you can seamlessly import property data, measurements, and material details directly into your preferred estimation or ordering systems. This eliminates repetitive work, reduces errors, and ensures your team is always working from the same trusted source of truth.
Answers to your top questions
How accurate are Hover’s measurements?
How accurate are Hover’s measurements?
Hover’s measurements are trusted across the construction industry for being both highly accurate and complete. Unlike aerial-only providers, Hover captures every detail (including soffits, gutters, corners, and returns) so you get a full picture of the property.
That precision matters. Small discrepancies can add up across hundreds of jobs, affecting material costs, labor planning, and margins. With Hover, you can rely on consistent and comprehensive data for both roof and siding measurements.
Once captured, that same data powers the rest of your workflow:
Homeowner engagement: Visualize projects to build trust and close deals faster.
Scoping and estimation: Generate detailed, accurate material lists and quotes with ease.
Hover gives you the accuracy and completeness needed to scope, estimate, and deliver every project with confidence.
Why do I need to take photos?
Why do I need to take photos?
Hover uses photos to create an accurate digital twin of the property: a detailed 3D model built from the most current and complete information available.
Capturing images from the ground allows Hover to see details that aerial imagery can’t, such as soffits, line segments, and fascia details. This ensures your measurements and reports reflect the property’s true conditions.
Those same photos also power the interactive 3D model you can use during sales or scoping. It helps homeowners visualize their project, and gives your team a reliable foundation for accurate estimates and material planning.
How does Hover use AI?
How does Hover use AI?
Hover has a head start with AI. We’ve been applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to property intelligence for over a decade, transforming millions of property photos into precise, actionable data.
Our AI isn’t theoretical; it’s proven in the field. Our computer vision technology analyzes photos to detect and classify materials, surfaces, and structural features. For example, it can distinguish between window casing and trim, allowing you to zoom in on specific line segments for detailed inspection.
Building on more than 130 million analyzed photos, we’re evolving into a platform you can run your business on. At the center of this is our instant design solution — a cutting-edge capability that democratizes visualization, letting even the most inexperienced sales rep show homeowners real products on their actual home, instantly, with photo-realistic quality from a single image.
Does Hover work for new construction projects?
Does Hover work for new construction projects?
Yes! Hover helps you quickly create accurate takeoffs for new builds — from single-family homes to multi-unit projects — without scaling or tracing blueprints.
You can upload PDF, DWG, or DXF plans. Ensure you include:
Elevations for each side of the structure (front, back, left, right)
Floor plans for each level, with clear measurements
Each structure Hover processes is billed as a separate project, automatically grouped for easier management. Billing is based on the final processed size.
