About Hover

Hover is a computer vision and 3D modeling platform that transforms smartphone photos into accurate, interactive 3D models for construction, renovation, and insurance industries. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Hover uses advanced computer vision and deep learning technology to automatically stitch property photos into detailed 3D images with correct measurements and dimensions. Users simply capture 8-10 smartphone images of a property, upload them to Hover's platform, and receive a fully-rendered 3D model with precise measurements for roofing, siding, windows, doors, and other exterior elements. Hover's visualization capabilities allow contractors, homeowners, and insurance professionals to see photo-realistic design options by applying different materials, colors, and styles to the 3D model before work begins. The platform generates automated material takeoffs and order-ready material lists with just two clicks, eliminating hours of manual measurement and calculation work. Hover is trusted by top 10 insurance carriers including Travelers, State Farm, and Nationwide for claims automation and property inspection, helping adjusters assess damage remotely and expedite claim settlements. For contractors and builders, Hover optimizes workflow and increases profitability by providing accurate measurements, professional design presentations for upselling, and the ability to document project progress with unlimited photos. The platform has achieved explosive growth from $1 million in revenue in 2016 to over $70 million annual run rate. Hover serves exterior contractors, home builders, restoration companies, independent adjusters, architects, and homeowners, fundamentally transforming how property assessment and home improvement projects are planned and executed.
