What’s New in Hover: Q2 2024 Edition

Written by HOVER Inc | Jul 11, 2024

Over 250K pros turn to Hover for a single solution to scope and sell, and we keep making it better.

This quarter, we’re proud to introduce over 20 highly requested features designed to help you save time, streamline workflows, and enhance profitability and predictability in your business. More than ever, Hover is the one app pros rely on to design, scope, and sell every project - whether remodel, restoration, or new construction. 

And as an added bonus, many of our new takeoff and design enhancements are FREE—helping you do more, for less.

 

What's new in Takeoff & Estimation

With the all-new 3D visual interface, free from spreadsheets and manual calculations, Hover customers can now save hours per takeoff, especially on complex jobs involving multiple materials and trades. With its improved accuracy and completeness, our Material List solution also helps customers make on average two fewer material orders per job. 

 

Mix and match materials and colors

No more manual adjustments for accent materials, whether single or multiple materials. It’s a simple tap and done.

 

 

Embed notes to your Material List line items

Add the details you need to get the job done, including installation instructions and substitution requests, all in your Material List PDF.

 

 

New Certainteed Takeoff Templates

We added 31 new siding and roofing Certainteed templates. Each template has every component, and it’s designed to meet Certainteed’s specifications and building code so you don’t have to do it yourself.

And you can now also do multiple material lists from the mobile app.

What's new in Design

The top customer request was more control over AI designs, and now you have it. You can now lock the landscape, showing changes only to the structure. Gain full control over select trades for exterior and interior inspiration, including roofing, siding, paint, trim, windows, flooring, and cabinets, with more to come.
