Hover (measurement import)

Overview

Hover (hover.to) turns photos of a property into a verified exterior measurement report — roof area, pitch, ridge and valley lengths, siding area. Connect your Hover account and Setell can pull those measurements straight onto a job: the numbers land as quantities (the price drivers), plus a scoping note the next quote draft reads. Setell never sets prices from a measurement — your own rates price the work; Hover just supplies the verified takeoff.

Before you start

A Hover account you can sign in to (you'll approve access on Hover's site).
At least one Hover job with a completed measurement report — reports are purchased in your Hover account. Setell doesn't resell Hover reports or mark them up; importing them is included.

Steps

Go to Settings → Connections and find the Hover card.
Click Connect to Hover.
Approve access on Hover's screen. You land back in Setell and the card reads Connected — ask Studio to import Hover measurements onto a job.
Open a job in Studio and ask: "import Hover measurements onto this job." Setell lists your recent Hover jobs — pick the right one and the import runs.

What happens next

The report's numbers — roof area, facet count, dominant pitch, ridge/hip, valley, rake and eave lengths, siding area, opening count — are written onto the job as measured quantities.
A scoping note is attached to the job so the next quote draft starts from the verified takeoff instead of a guess.
Quantities only, never prices: your learned rates (your history, your price book) do the pricing. The measurement shows its provenance on every surface, so you always know a number came from Hover.
Not sure which Hover job to use? Ask Studio to "list my recent Hover jobs" — same tool, discovery mode.

Troubleshooting

Card still says "Not connected" after approving. The approval didn't complete. Click Connect to Hover and run through Hover's screen again.
"Hover is not connected. Connect in Settings first." The import was asked for before the connection finished. Connect on the Hover card, then ask again.
Card says "Reconnect required — token expired." Hover access lapsed. Click Reconnect on the card and approve again — nothing already imported is lost.
The measurements look incomplete. Hover sells report tiers (roof-only vs complete). Setell imports whatever sections your report contains; a roof-only report simply has no siding numbers to import.

FAQ

Does Setell change anything in Hover? No. The import is read-only, one direction.
Does this price my quote? No. Measurements propose quantities only — your own rates price them. That split is deliberate.
What does it cost? Hover reports are purchased in your own Hover account, at your Hover pricing. Setell doesn't resell them; the import itself is included.
Can I re-import? Yes — re-importing refreshes the job's measured quantities from the report. It won't duplicate the job.
Can Setell request a capture from my customer? Not yet. Today's integration is pull-based: you (or your homeowner) capture in Hover, then import into Setell. Automatic import when a report finishes (webhooks) and homeowner capture links are planned.
