Hover Launches Instant Design at the 2025 International Roofing Expo and Design & Construction Week

Hover recently joined the 2025 International Roofing Expo and Design & Construction Week (IBS + KBIS), where we connected with the industry’s leaders and innovators to introduce and showcase Hover Instant Design.

Powered by Hover’s proprietary AI and extensive property data, Instant Design allows contractors and homeowners to snap a photo of a home and instantly generate high-quality interior and exterior design options. With Instant Design, contractors can get to “yes” faster by creating and exploring customized options with real products and colors on their customer’s real home, in real time.

Between IRE and DCW, over 100,000 pros had the opportunity to demo Hover’s game-changing Instant Design technology. Hover also hosted several speaking sessions highlighting why design visualization is the future of home remodeling, and how contractors can use it to beat the competition and win more jobs.

Highlights from IRE

At IRE, Hover’s VP of Product Management, Patrick Stuart, discussed how to “Build Predictability (and Profitability) into Every Project” alongside leading industry pros Paul Trautmann, Founder of Timberland Exteriors and Corey Janes, Sales Manager for Window World of Fargo.

Key takeaway from their discussion? Pros who use design visualization can improve win rates, improve order accuracy and reduce waste, upsell more, thrill customers, and increase profitability.

Highlights from DCW (IBS+KBIS)

At DCW, Hover hosted two speaking sessions. 

• Patrick Stuart led a session on “Winning with Real-Time Design. How AI is Transforming Remodeling Sales.” Patrick was joined by Paul Trautmann and Justin Magrini, General Manager, Window World of Raleigh.
• Hover’s Levi Schoenfeld, Staff Product Manager, shared the stage with Hover customer and custom builder, Shannon Cook of On-Site Builders, and interior designer/influencer Courtney Ungaro, to discuss “How Generative AI is Reshaping Home Design and Homeowner Expectations.”

Key takeaways from these sessions? Advances in AI are transforming home design and changing consumer expectations. Design visualization plays a pivotal role in consumer decision making, and contractors who don’t offer design visualization risk losing jobs to competitors who do. 

Stay tuned for recaps of these informative speaking sessions.

“This tool opens up more opportunities with the client, because when they see their home designed in different styles or materials, they get excited to invest in more. With Hover, we’re building wow moments.” - Paul Trautmann, Timberland Exteriors
