When you picture a welcoming Tennessee porch, you probably imagine rocking chairs, sweet tea, and a bold front door that frames the entire façade. More and more Nashville homeowners are choosing aluminum front doors because they deliver the modern lines buyers crave without sacrificing Southern durability. At CountBricks, we make the upgrade effortless: speak your project details into our AI app, approve the real-time estimate, and schedule installation in a single conversation.
• Aluminum resists warping and swelling in Nashville’s humid summers
• Powder-coat finishes defy hail, wind-driven rain, and temperature swings
• Reinforced internal frames meet or exceed local building codes for impact resistance
Older bungalows and craftsman cottages often have charming but delicate porch structures. Aluminum’s lighter profile reduces stress on headers and pivots, extending the life of historic trim while still offering the presence of a substantial entry.
• Sleek flush panels for contemporary infill builds
• Simulated divided-lite inserts to blend with 1920s foursquares
• Wood-grain textured skins that match cedar columns without the maintenance headaches
1. Open the CountBricks voice app and say, “Price an aluminum front door for my East Nashville home.”
2. Our engine references up-to-the-minute material costs, Nashville labor rates, and current lead times.
3. Within seconds you receive a detailed line-item quote—door slab, frame, hardware, finish, removal of existing unit, disposal fees, and labor.
4. Approve or revise the scope using simple voice commands, then lock in a calendar slot with our vetted installers.
Because the data feed updates continuously, you never get blindsided by price hikes between quote and installation. Learn more at CountBricks.com/services.
• Aluminum: $950–$1,600 installed for standard 36" x 80" entry, multi-point lock included

Say “Hey CountBricks, start my front door project” or visit CountBricks.com/consultation to schedule a free 15-minute design session.
A 1925 bungalow on Holly Street faced constant sticking and paint peel on its original wood door. The homeowner wanted a low-maintenance upgrade but feared losing historic charm.
The client opened the CountBricks app and simply said, “Show me cottage-style aluminum front doors in sage green.” Within 60 seconds, three profiles with matching color swatches and hardware sets populated the screen, each with live-priced estimates.
Using the homeowner’s smartphone camera, our software captured the rough opening and surrounding trim. The system flagged a slight header sag, automatically adding a carpenter’s sister-joist task to the scope so there were no surprise change orders.
• Old door removed and recycled in 45 minutes
• New aluminum unit set plumb with composite shims and stainless fasteners
• Header reinforced per AI-generated task list, restoring structural integrity
• Entire project completed in six hours, one hour ahead of schedule
Thermal imaging showed a 34 % reduction in air leakage around the entryway. The sage green powder coat perfectly matched existing shutter paint, preserving the bungalow’s period aesthetic. Post-project feedback logged in the CountBricks portal scored a 10/10 for “process clarity.”
• Schedule installs between March and May or September and November to avoid extreme humidity during curing
• Ask CountBricks to pre-wire smart locks before the door ships, saving on electrician visits
• Opt for concealed hinges if you prefer a clean minimalist look; our AI will adjust jamb thickness automatically
Nashville homeowners can initiate their own success story by visiting CountBricks.com/consultation or saying, “Hey CountBricks, price my aluminum door.” In one conversation, you will move from idea to actionable budget backed by the most accurate data in residential construction.
