When you request complete measurements of a property (walls + roof), Hover will include trim measurements as a separate line item within the PDF report. That way, you can easily include those measurements when creating estimates and material orders for projects that include trim in the project scope.
Trim area measurements
The Summary page - located right after the cover page - provides multiple tables with at-a-glance measurements. The first table you will notice is the Areas table:
Areas
The Areas table displays the square feet measurement for trims, separated into 2 columns: Siding and Other:
Trim that touches siding is included in the "Siding" column:
Any trim that does not touch siding is included in the "Other" column:
The same logic applies for Unknown areas (areas that are not discernible from photos):
If an unknown area touches siding, the area measurement is depicted in the Siding column.
If the unknown area does not touch siding, the area measurement is depicted in the Other column.
Total Areas
The total area measurements include trim measurements, as well. Please make sure to adjust your waste factor accordingly.
Waste Factor measurements
The first three rows of the table labeled Siding Waste Totals are calculated using the total square feet of:
siding facades
square feet of trim touching siding
and square feet of unknowns touching siding.
The middle three rows of the table include all those same measurements, plus:
the square feet of all openings smaller than 20 square feet (i.e. garage and patio doors are not included)
The lower three rows of the table include all the same measurements listed above, plus:
the square feet of all openings smaller than 33 square feet (i.e. garage and patio doors are included)
Trim breakdown
On the same page in the top right corner is a Trim table which breaks down the linear feet measurements of the type of trim located on the property: level starter, sloped trim, vertical trim.
Each measurement is separated into the same 2-column format, Siding vs Other:
