App empowers home improvement pros and homeowners alike to transform ordinary photos into professional quality, photo-realistic home designs instantly, no design skills needed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26, 2025 -- Hover, a leader in 3D property data, today announced the launch of Instant Design, an AI-powered design product that construction pros and homeowners can use to instantly visualize any home remodeling or new construction project.
Leveraging years of development in machine learning, and proprietary advances for generative AI built with Hover's 3D spatial database of millions of residential properties, Hover Instant Design is at the forefront of a new era in home design – bridging the gap between construction pros frustrated with complicated design software and today's homeowner, who increasingly expects to see what a project will look like before moving forward.
Bringing the Visual Economy to Home Renovation
While previously, homeowners might approve a construction project based on sketches or sample boards, today we live in a visual economy where seeing is believing. According to Hover's 2025 Design Sentiment Survey, two thirds of construction professionals say that homeowners have higher design expectations than just five years ago.1 Yet despite these expectations, less than one third of projects ever receive a visualization2.
Even for pros who are visualizing projects, current options are lacking. To date, design software has generally been challenging to learn and time consuming to use, which may be why nearly half of pros (46%) still rely on outdated methods such as product samples and photos of past projects, instead of more advanced solutions.3 Speed is also a painpoint, with 1 in 3 pros saying it currently takes too long to show a design to a homeowner.4
"Home renovations are expensive and emotional, and homeowners today expect to see what they're buying before they commit," said A.J. Altman, founder and CEO at Hover. "While industries like e-commerce, automotive, and real estate have embraced the visual economy, much of home improvement has lagged behind. For pros, their time is money. They can be reluctant to learn how to use complicated design software to visualize projects, but that leaves homeowners stuck in a 'buy and hope' scenario. Hover changes that, making it easy for pros and homeowners to see exactly what their project will look like before paying for it – in real time."
When homeowners can see their renovation before they buy, everyone wins.
