Are you planning an exterior siding project for your home or a client's property? Before you dive into the world of siding choices, it's important to have a clear vision of what your new siding will look like. That's where HOVER can help, offering an exciting solution for homeowners and contractors alike.

In this blog, we'll explore how HOVER can revolutionize your siding projects, thanks to its customizable features that allow you to visualize new siding in a way that was never possible before.

 

The Power of Visualization

When it comes to exterior siding, choosing the right color, material, and manufacturer is crucial. After all, your siding isn't just about protection, it's about boosting the curb appeal of your home and increasing the resale value. HOVER understands this, and that's why the software is designed to help you make informed decisions by providing a clear visual representation of your choices.

Color Selection

Picking the right siding color is a big decision. HOVER allows you to experiment with various colors to see how they would look on your home's exterior. Simply upload a photo of your property, and the platform will render your home with different siding colors in real time. This feature eliminates the guesswork and ensures you'll be happy with your color choice once it's installed—say goodbye to buyer's remorse.

Material Options

HOVER offers a wide range of siding material options for you to explore. Whether you're interested in vinyl, fiber cement, stone, or stucco, HOVER can show you exactly how each one will transform your home's appearance. This allows you to visualize different aesthetics and make a choice that aligns with your vision. However, when choosing a siding material, it’s also important to keep in mind the climate and weather patterns of your region. 

Manufacturers

HOVER partners with leading siding manufacturers, like Hardie®, giving you access to their product library, so you can select siding materials from different brands and visualize how they will look on your home. Having this extensive library of options at your fingertips ensures that you can choose siding that fits both your aesthetic preferences and budget.

 

Realistic 3D Models 

In order to make the aforementioned possible, HOVER's technology creates accurate 3D models of your property based on your smartphone photos, allowing you to view your potential siding choices from various angles. This level of detail helps you make informed decisions and avoid unpleasant surprises after installation.

 

Saving Time & Money

Making changes to your siding after installation can be expensive and time-consuming. By using HOVER to visualize your project before you start, you reduce the risk of making costly mistakes. You can experiment with different options and make adjustments until you're completely satisfied with the design.

Not having enough material or ordering too much material is another variable that could cause a project to become expensive. With HOVER, the homeowner and/or the contractor will have accurate measurements pulled directly from the 3D model that’s produced from the home’s images. Accurate measurements mean accurate estimates and purchase orders—which, at the end of the day, means a happy customer.
