James Hardie-Hover Partnership To Provide An Innovative Digital Experience For Visualizing and Scoping Home Exteriors

James Hardie Building Products Inc., a global leader in exterior building products, and Hover, a technology company that converts smartphone photos and blueprint designs of any property into a digital 3D model, have partnered to make Hover Design Studio available to homeowners via JamesHardie.com.

This first-of-its-kind exterior home design mobile app revolutionizes the home repair process by allowing homeowners to easily design their external renovation project and communicate their ideas to a trade specialist.

“Choosing the right style and color has always been one of the most difficult steps in the exterior home improvement process. We know that homeowners who have been given the opportunity to visualize designs on their home’s actual exterior are better positioned to move forward with this purchase when they speak to a contractor. We are thrilled to be able to make this unique and powerful tool available to help simplify this experience,” Sean Gadd, President of James Hardie North America, stated.

The debut of Hover Design Studio on JamesHardie.com adds to the trade pro version of the application, Hover Design Pro, which saves construction professionals time and money by offering complete measurements, collaborative design tools, and detailed material takeoffs.

“At Hover, our mission is to make the homeowner journey easy, transparent, and fun. We are dedicated to crafting a product that ensures all home improvement decisions are made with confidence,” A.J. Altman, Founder and CEO of Hover commented.

“We’re excited to work with James Hardie, an iconic brand in home improvement, to further that commitment with a quick and simple experience, and ultimately, help bring homeowners’ design visions to life.”
