SAN FRANCISCO, CA – July 12, 2017 – HOVER, the platform that transforms smartphone photos of a home into a fully measured, customizable 3D model, today announced a partnership with LP Building Products for its LP®SmartSide® Trim & Siding line of treated engineered wood products.
The two industry-leading companies are teaming up to make the LP SmartSide product line available within the HOVER platform. Thousands of exterior contractors are already using HOVER to receive an interactive 3D model and detailed exterior measurements of a home, which allows them to save a tremendous amount of time on measuring, creating an estimate and closing new business.
