# Create estimates with Hover in ServiceTitan and ServiceTitan Mobile

## Overview

Hover helps roofing and exterior trades capture accurate measurements using onsite photos taken in the Hover app unlike GAF and EagleView. After you schedule a job in ServiceTitan, it sends the job to Hover, which captures photos and measurements and attaches them to the job for use with Spec-Based Templates just like you do with EagleView and GAF QuickMeasure.

## Step 1: Setup Hover integration

Setup the *Hover* integration with your ServiceTitan account to order measurements to create customized estimates for customers.

1. Go to the top toolbar and click **Settings** ![A simple icon representing a settings gear. ](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/icon-gnav-settings-inactive.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T19%3A51%3A39Z&se=2026-11-01T20%3A51%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=4S03%2FqRPwGttSbW0qk41f2saDZOrvIB4%2F%2BvOlCLdLG0%3D)**.**
2. In the side panel, click **Integrations > Measurement Integrations.**
3. On the *Hover* integration box, click **Configure.**
4. Click **Sign in to Hover** in the Account *Setup* section. ![Account setup interface showing a toggle switch and sign-in button with instructions.](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/create-estimates-with-hover-in-servicetitan-and-servicetitan-mobile-image-oo4ysnwp.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T19%3A51%3A39Z&se=2026-11-01T20%3A51%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=4S03%2FqRPwGttSbW0qk41f2saDZOrvIB4%2F%2BvOlCLdLG0%3D)A new window opens and brings you to Hover integration. You need to enter your Hover account credentials to connect your account to ServiceTitan.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** If you're already signed in to an Hover account and want to switch to a different one, turn off the **Account Setup** toggle. This signs you out of the current Hover instance.
5. After signing in to Hover, the status updates to *Connected*.
6. On the *Form Source Mapping* box, click **Create** to map form fields to Hover fields to be used in Spec Based Estimate Template.
7. From the *Forms* dropdown, select the form to use for your Spec Based estimates.
8. Click **Next.**
9. The *Form Fields* pre-populate the fields created in the previous selected form.
10. In the **Hover** field, match and map the fields using the following placeholders to tell ServiceTitan which data from Hover correlates to which field on the measurement form. ![Mapping form fields for roof area calculations in a structured format.](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/create-estimates-with-hover-in-servicetitan-and-servicetitan-mobile-image-pidzk6cp.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T19%3A51%3A39Z&se=2026-11-01T20%3A51%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=4S03%2FqRPwGttSbW0qk41f2saDZOrvIB4%2F%2BvOlCLdLG0%3D)

  2. [Facets]
  3. [Predominant Pitch]

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The [Predominant Pitch] placeholder returns a string value (e.g., "3/12") and cannot be used on its own in formulas that require a numeric result. Ensure your formula outputs a decimal value when using string-based placeholders. Valid: IF([Predominant Pitch]="3/12", 10, 20) Invalid: [Predominant Pitch] + 5

To set up an alert:

1. Go to the top toolbar and click **Settings** ![A simple icon representing a settings gear. ](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/icon-gnav-settings-inactive.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T19%3A51%3A39Z&se=2026-11-01T20%3A51%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=4S03%2FqRPwGttSbW0qk41f2saDZOrvIB4%2F%2BvOlCLdLG0%3D)**.**

5. Select a *Delivery Method*.
6. Select your *Recipients*.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Hover alerts are only sent to the assigned technicians on the job and the user who ordered the report. Not all users in the recipient field receive alerts, only those directly related to the measurement.
7. When finished, click **Save**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** You can receive alerts via email, text message, or both, like other standard alerts.

## Step 5: Create estimates

### Create estimate from the Office

After Hover completes the order, the measurements are transferred to the Spec-Based Estimates form, and you can proceed with creating the estimate:

1. On the *Job* screen, click **Job Actions.**
2. Click **Add an Estimate.**
3. Select **Spec Based Templates.**
4. Choose the template from which you want to create an estimate.
5. Click **Next.**

  2. To enter new measurements manually: Click **Manual Input** and fill in the measurement details directly in the form.
7. After you select the measurement option click **Next.**
8. Review or manually input the measurements in the form and click **Save.**

This creates estimates on the job based on the information you input in the measurement form.

### Create estimates from ServiceTitan Mobile

After a measurement order is completed by Hover, the measurements pre-populate in your Spec Based Estimates form. You can then easily create estimates.

1. If you aren't already on the *Job* screen for your current job, tap **Overview** on the dashboard, and then tap your current job.
2. Tap **Forms**.
3. Tap the measurement form you use to create estimates.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** If your business uses a lot of forms, you can filter by business unit to find the one you need.
4. On the *Select measurement option* window select the option:
  1. Existing measurement: To use an existing pre-completed measurement form, open the dropdown menu under **Existing Measurements** and select a pre-completed form.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The Existing measurement will be grayed out if an existing measurement does not exist.
  2. Manual Input: To enter new measurements manually, click **Manual Input** and fill in the measurement details directly in the form. ![Select measurement option between existing measurement and manual input for data entry.](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/create-estimates-with-hover-in-servicetitan-and-servicetitan-mobile-image-gev2g4yf.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T19%3A51%3A39Z&se=2026-11-01T20%3A51%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=4S03%2FqRPwGttSbW0qk41f2saDZOrvIB4%2F%2BvOlCLdLG0%3D)
5. Tap **Select.**
6. Review the measurements populated from Hover and edit or add any additional information if needed. ![Form for roofing measurement including service options and waste factor input.](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/create-estimates-with-hover-in-servicetitan-and-servicetitan-mobile-image-r3tztvtu.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T19%3A51%3A39Z&se=2026-11-01T20%3A51%3A39Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=4S03%2FqRPwGttSbW0qk41f2saDZOrvIB4%2F%2BvOlCLdLG0%3D)
7. When finished, tap **Save**.

This creates estimates on the job based on the information you input in the measurement form. You can view them on the *Estimates* tab.

### Create estimates by editing existing forms

You can make changes to the information entered on the measurement form. After the form is updated, you can apply the changes to the existing estimates or create new ones. For more on how to edit forms, see [Edit submitted form measurements](/roofing/docs/manage-spec-based-estimate-templates-in-servicetitan-and-servicetitan-mobile#edit-submitted-form-measurements).
