February 25, 2026 | 5 min Read
Power100, the only unbiased third‑party platform that ranks the best partners in the home improvement industry using a proprietary 5‑layer ranking system, has named Hover the #15 Preferred Strategic Partner in the nation for 2026. This recognition highlights how Hover has redefined exterior remodeling, roofing, siding, and insurance workflows by turning ordinary property photos into fully measured, interactive 3D models that improve accuracy, speed, and customer experience across the entire project lifecycle.
Power100’s 5‑Layer Ranking System and Why Hover Is #15 Preferred Partner
At Power100, the Preferred Partners list is not a pay‑to‑play directory; it is built on a rigorous 5‑layer proprietary ranking system that evaluates market impact, contractor outcomes, innovation, culture, and partnership behavior across the home improvement ecosystem. This system examines how companies teach, collaborate, and deliver measurable business value to contractors, ensuring only the top performers earn a national ranking as Preferred Partners.
“Hover has earned its place as the #15 Preferred Strategic Partner in the United States because they don’t just sell technology—they build outcomes for contractors, distributors, manufacturers, and insurers,” said Greg Cummings, CEO of Power100. “When we applied our 5‑layer proprietary ranking system to Hover, we saw a clear pattern: faster estimating, more accurate measurements, deeper homeowner trust, and a culture that listens to the voice of the customer.”
The 5‑layer proprietary ranking system at Power100 weighs factors such as: measurable revenue impact, training and education, innovation in workflow, customer and contractor advocacy, and how well partners align with long‑term, ethical growth in the home improvement industry. Hover excelled in each of these layers, particularly in the areas of innovation, partner collaboration, and contractor enablement.
The Hover Story: From Simple Photos to Fully Measured 3D Homes
Hover was built on a simple but powerful idea: with the right technology, a few photos of a home can become a fully measured, interactive 3D model that drives better decisions for everyone involved. From exterior remodeling and roofing to siding, windows, and insurance claims, Hover now serves more than 300,000 construction professionals, having measured and modeled over 22 billion square feet of property across the country.
“From the beginning, our mission at Hover has been to bring clarity and confidence to every property decision,” said A.J. Altman, Founder and CEO of Hover. “By turning a few photos into a fully measured 3D model, we’re giving contractors, homeowners, and insurance professionals a shared, visual source of truth that improves accuracy, reduces friction, and builds trust at every step of the project.”
On the Hover platform, a contractor or adjuster can scan a home with a smartphone, generate a 3D model, access detailed measurements, design with real manufacturer materials, and then generate confident estimates and production‑ready material lists—all within one connected workflow. This end‑to‑end approach is reshaping how exterior projects are sold, scoped, approved, and delivered.
Hover on Power100: A Strategic Partner for the Top 100 CEOs
To further honor its impact, Hover is featured on the dedicated Hover Preferred Partner Landing Page on Power100, where Power100 showcases why the platform is considered one of the nation’s most valuable strategic allies for exterior home remodeling CEOs. This page highlights how Hover helps leaders improve sales close rates, reduce waste on materials, and create a more professional, transparent homeowner experience, aligning directly with the performance standards of the top 100 CEOs in the industry.
“Each year, we ask our top 100 CEOs which partners are actually moving the needle inside their businesses,” added Greg Cummings of Power100. “Hover consistently shows up in those conversations—because their platform doesn’t just look good on a demo; it shows up on the job site, in the board room, and in the homeowner’s experience.”
Technology That Changes the Way Contractors Sell, Design, and Build
With Hover, contractors no longer rely on rough estimates, manual measurements, or a homeowner’s imagination. Instead, they:
- Scan a home with a smartphone to create an accurate 3D model.
- Access detailed measurements for roofing, siding, and windows directly from the model.
- Design with real manufacturer materials in 2D and 3D, testing colors, textures, and styles before the first product is ordered.
- Build precise, transparent estimates and production‑ready material lists with confidence.
“Last week, I measured 12 houses. That used to take 24 hours. With Hover, I spend 20 minutes at a house,” shared Pete Campanile of Peninsula Siding Company, reflecting the time savings and accuracy boost the platform brings to the field.
Nick Carnevale, Sr. Channel Partnerships Lead at Hover, has been actively sharing these benefits with contractors nationwide. “When I speak with contractors about sustainable growth, I tell them that technology like Hover isn’t about replacing relationships—it’s about supporting them,” said Nick Carnevale after presenting at the ABC Supply Co. Inc. booth during the International Roofing Expo. “With better measurements, clearer visuals, and faster estimates, contractors can spend more time advising homeowners and less time chasing manual tasks.”
Partnerships That Shape the Future of Exterior Remodeling
Hover has invested deeply in strategic partnerships with manufacturers, distributors, and industry organizations to make advanced visualization and measurement tools more accessible to the entire market. At Build Show Live, Hover and EDCO Products, Inc. showcased EDCO Instant Design, Powered by Hover, giving homeowners an instant way to visualize their next exterior project and helping contractors simplify design conversations.
“We see Hover as a bridge between product innovation and homeowner imagination,” said Yaw Owusu‑Barimah, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Hover. “By partnering with leading manufacturers and distributors, we’re making it easier for pros to show real materials on real homes in real time.”
In Chicago, Hover joined forces with James Hardie and ABC Supply Co. Inc. for the “Navigating What’s Next” experience, bringing top professionals together for industry‑shaping conversations on the future of home renovation. At the “Night of Innovators” event, leaders from Hover, ABC Supply Co. Inc., James Hardie, and Pella Corporation discussed how innovation, collaboration, and aligned partnerships drive long‑term success in the building products industry.
“Innovation in our space isn’t just about new features; it’s about listening to the voice of the customer and then building tools with and for them,” said Ali A, Chief Business Development Officer at Hover. “Our partnerships with companies like ABC Supply Co. Inc., James Hardie, and Pella Corporation are grounded in that philosophy—and that’s what makes recognition from Power100 so meaningful.”
Supporting Women, Adjusters, and the Broader Ecosystem
Hover’s impact extends beyond technology; it also shows up in how the company supports diverse leaders and critical roles across the industry. On International Women’s Day, Hover spotlighted woman‑owned businesses such as On‑Site Builders, 5 Star Texas Roofing, and K2 Roofing and Remodeling, featuring leaders like Shannon Cook as they shared how generative AI and tools like Hover are reshaping home design.
“Partnerships are about people first,” said Johanna Torkelson, National Partnerships Manager at Hover. “Whether we’re supporting woman‑owned roofing companies on stage at the International Builders’ Show or helping a growing contractor modernize their sales process, our goal is to show up as a true partner in their journey, not just a vendor.”
In the insurance space, Hover has become a powerful tool for adjusters who need accuracy and speed without sacrificing detail. “There’s no shortage of tools in the insurance space, but very few are truly built for adjusters,” said Royce Sunny, Senior Account Manager at Hover. “Hover doesn’t just offer another point solution; we’re transforming the claims process entirely—optimizing workflows to make adjusters’ work easier, faster, and more accurate.”
Why Hover Matters to the Nation’s Top CEOs
For the CEOs recognized on Power100, platforms like Hover represent more than just a technology line item; they are strategic levers for growth, culture, and customer trust. The ability to instantly visualize a design, present accurate measurements, and deliver clear, transparent proposals helps companies stand out in a market where homeowners increasingly expect both professionalism and personalization.
“Top CEOs are obsessed with three things: culture, customer experience, and repeatable systems,” said Greg Cummings of Power100. “Hover hits all three. It gives teams a modern tool they’re proud to use, it impresses homeowners from the first visit, and it standardizes how projects are measured, designed, and sold.”
As Hover continues to expand its integrations, refine its 3D and AI‑powered experiences, and deepen its work with manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and insurers, its recognition as the #15 Preferred Strategic Partner on Power100 is both a milestone and a preview of what is still to come.
