Whether you’re a contractor pricing out a roofing job or a homeowner planning to revamp your siding, accurate measurements and a clear visual plan are essential. That’s where the Hover tool—available through Metro Building Products—comes in. With just a few photos and a smartphone, you can turn any home into a fully measured, customizable 3D model.
What Is Hover?
Hover is a powerful digital measurement and visualization tool that transforms smartphone photos into detailed, interactive 3D models. By capturing just eight photos from different angles, Hover creates accurate measurements for siding, roofing, windows, trim and more. These measurements are professional-grade and trusted by contractors and homeowners alike to streamline planning, quoting and material ordering.
Hover eliminates the need for ladders, tape measures and clipboards. Instead, users simply photograph the project and upload the images through the app. Within hours, a full 3D model—complete with detailed measurements—is ready to review and share.
Why Contractors Use Hover
Time and precision matter on every job site. Hover saves time and boosts accuracy, which leads to faster estimates, fewer ordering errors and happier customers. Metro Building Products contractor customers rely on Hover to:
- Generate Instant Measurements: Get reliable square footage, linear footage, and other detailed measurements without ever setting foot on a ladder.
- Streamline Estimates: With built-in integration for cost estimation tools, contractors can quote jobs faster and with greater confidence.
- Minimize Material Waste: Accurate measurements mean you’ll order exactly what’s needed—nothing more, nothing less.
- Increase Close Rates: The 3D model is a powerful sales tool. It helps homeowners clearly visualize proposed work and builds trust in your process and professionalism.
By reducing the margin of error and offering a high-tech presentation, Hover puts contractors a step ahead of the competition.
Homeowners Can Visualize the Possibilities
Planning a home exterior project can feel overwhelming. Hover helps homeowners feel confident by showing them exactly what different siding, roofing, and color combinations will look like on their own home—not a generic template.
Once a home has been scanned, the Hover Visualizer lets users:
- Experiment with Design: Apply different materials, textures and colors to your home’s 3D model. Try out siding styles, change roof colors, or see what new windows would look like—all before spending a dime.
- Avoid Regret: By previewing how each choice looks in real time, homeowners avoid costly design mistakes or mismatched materials.
- Collaborate Easily: Share your 3D model with your contractor or Metro Building Products expert to get input, make updates, and refine your vision.
Hover is particularly useful when planning projects involving Diamond Kote siding, GAF roofing, or other high-quality building materials offered by Metro Building Products.
