When most people hear about Hover, they think of accurate, reliable measurements—and that’s still true. Our measurement technology sets the standard for the industry.
But Hover does a lot more than capture measurements. It’s a connected platform built to support your entire workflow—from the first conversation with a homeowner to the final contract. You can handle marketing, sales, scoping, estimating, and ordering in one place, with data that stays consistent every step of the way.
Hover Delivers:
Accurate measurements and scaled 3D models from just a few photos or a blueprint upload
Realistic design visuals that help homeowners see their project before work begins
Detailed measurements and material lists for fast, accurate estimates
Seamless connections to your estimating, ordering, and field tools
Example Hover workflow
Engage homeowners early
When a homeowner visits your website, they can use a simple visual tool to try out different products and styles. Their choices sync automatically to Hover, so your team knows what they’re interested in before the first conversation. That means less guesswork, faster trust, and a smoother start to the job.
Take property photos and get measurements
Use the Hover app to snap photos of the property. Hover turns those into accurate measurements and a detailed report, giving your team everything they need to build reliable estimates and place accurate orders. No more juggling notes or double-checking dimensions—everything’s in one place.
Show them what their project will look like
At the kitchen table or over video, open their design and bring it to life in a 3D model of their home. Seeing real products on their actual house helps homeowners make confident decisions and keeps projects moving without delays or rework.
Build and compare estimates quickly
Hover pulls in labor, material, and tax costs to create professional estimates in minutes. You can show options side-by-side, include financing or warranty details, and send a proposal that looks sharp and accurate.
Keep your tools connected
We’ve spent years building partnerships and integrations with the industry’s top construction platforms. You can send measurements, property data, and material details straight into your estimating or ordering system—cutting out duplicate entry and reducing mistakes.
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 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 detect: 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.
