Smartphones rule daily communication, yet thousands of homeowners still add phone jack connections every year. Landline security systems, fax-over-IP devices, and hybrid VoIP setups all rely on a solid RJ-11 wall plate. CountBricks specializes in weaving these small but essential low-voltage lines into modern residential construction without busting budgets or timelines.
AI-Driven Accuracy
Voice-to-estimate technology inside CountBricks instantly captures your scope. Say “add phone jack in the new office” and our platform pulls current material pricing, NEC code tasks, and local labor rates—then generates an itemized quote in seconds.
Certified Low-Voltage Technicians
Every CountBricks installer is background-checked, fully insured, and trained on the latest Residential Telecommunications Cabling Standard (TIA-570-D). We guarantee clean terminations, tested continuity, and sleek wall-plate finishes.
Integrated Project Workflow
Blueprint takeoffs, change orders, and invoices live in one dashboard. Homeowners and builders see real-time cost impacts whenever they add phone jack lines or adjust their layout.
Understanding cost drivers helps clients budget with confidence. CountBricks’ AI engine considers each factor below before presenting your guaranteed quote.
• Line distance from main distribution frame (MDF)
• Crawl space, attic, or slab-on-grade access complexity
• Wall type—drywall, plaster, brick veneer, or concrete
• Need for conduit or fire-rated sleeves
• Quantity of new jacks and terminations
• Integration with existing VoIP or security systems
Most clients spend $185–$350 per jack when CountBricks handles the full scope: cable pulls, wall cutouts, plates, and certification testing. Multi-jack packages and pre-wire projects during framing can drop per-unit costs by up to 40 %.

“Wireless is always cheaper.” Mobile plans often cost more long-term than a single voice line that bundles with internet.
“Licensed electricians must handle phone lines.” Many regions allow certified low-voltage specialists—exactly who CountBricks deploys—saving you money.
“DIY is easy.” Improper terminations cause hum, static, or failed alarm monitoring. CountBricks testing ensures 100 % reliability.
