RoofGenius vs Hover — satellite measurements without the on-site photo capture

Short answer

Choose RoofGenius for fast door-knock measurements and insurance supplement recovery. Choose Hover when you need a full 3D exterior model for siding, paint, and window estimating beyond just the roof.

Hover builds 3D property models from 8–10 smartphone photos that the homeowner or sales rep captures on-site. RoofGenius Instant Measurements use satellite imagery — no photo capture, 10-second delivery, and bundles AI Supplements that Hover doesn't offer.
