When the Ramirez family needed extra storage for seasonal gear, their century-old bungalow posed three obstacles: knob-and-tube wiring, irregular joist spacing, and fragile plaster ceilings. A traditional contractor quoted a full ceiling demo. Instead, they called CountBricks.
Our team uploaded the original floor plan into CountBricks.com/blueprints. Within minutes, the AI flagged the exact joist locations and identified safe zones for cutting. The estimator then added an attic installing ladder scope line and generated a cost in real time—22 % lower than the competitor’s paper quote.
1. Electricians arrived first to reroute one feed according to the flagged conflict.
2. Carpenters cut the opening precisely between joists, preserving the lath and plaster.
3. A fire-rated aluminum ladder with R-10 insulated hatch was installed and sealed.
4. A plaster specialist patched edges, leaving no visible seams.
• New 50 sq ft of safe storage accessed in 6 hours total field time
• Zero change orders thanks to live pricing lock-in
• Post-install blower door test showed only 0.3 ACH increase—well below code thresholds
