Houston’s rapid residential growth has made security a top priority for homeowners. From new townhomes in Midtown to classic ranch houses in the suburbs, families need reliable ways to manage who enters their property. That’s why more Houstonians are searching for access control Houston TX solutions that deliver both convenience and peace of mind.
Residential access control goes far beyond a standard deadbolt. CountBricks specifies and installs integrated systems that may combine:
• Keypad or card readers at main entry points
• Smart locks with Wi-Fi or Z-Wave connectivity
• Mobile app credentials for family and guests
• Video doorbells and intercoms
• Gate operators for drive-in security
• Cloud dashboards that track entry events in real time
Because every home layout is unique, CountBricks designs a custom mix of devices and software to match the client’s lifestyle.
1. Climate resilience: Gulf Coast humidity can corrode mechanical locks. Commercial-grade readers withstand Houston’s weather extremes.
2. Growing short-term rentals: Owners in the Heights or Montrose can issue time-limited codes instead of hiding keys under planters.
3. Rising insurance incentives: Many carriers now reduce premiums when smart security devices are professionally installed.
Most homeowners first ask: “How much will it cost?” CountBricks uses AI-driven estimating to provide accurate numbers within minutes. Typical factors include:
• Number of controlled doors and gates
• Hardware grade—residential, prosumer, or commercial
• Power requirements—battery, low-voltage, or line-voltage
• Distance from main Wi-Fi or PoE network
• Level of mobile integration and cloud subscriptions
Thanks to live pricing feeds, CountBricks’ quotes adjust automatically when manufacturers issue new material costs or promotions.
Traditional contractors take days or even weeks to price an access control package. CountBricks compresses that timeline to minutes:
1. Speak naturally with our AI Estimator via phone or web.
2. Describe the home layout and the doors you want secured.
3. Watch as tasks, materials, and labor units populate in real time.
4. Receive a detailed PDF proposal—complete with images, scope notes, and a transparent cost breakdown.
Need to tweak hardware or add another gate reader? Edit by voice, and the estimate refreshes instantly. Homeowners can approve electronically and lock pricing the same day.

1. Pre-site assessment: Our project manager confirms measurements and wiring paths.
2. Device staging: Hardware arrives at our Houston warehouse, where it’s flashed with the latest firmware.
3. Rough-in: Low-voltage technicians pull cable and set up power supplies while drywall is still open when possible.
4. Device installation: Smart locks, readers, controllers, and cameras are mounted and labeled.
5. System commissioning: We enroll users, configure schedules, and test backup batteries during a client walk-through.
6. Handoff and training: Homeowners receive step-by-step videos stored at CountBricks.com/academy plus a 24/7 support line.
