In central Alabama we enjoy mild winters and famously hot, humid summers. That climate mix places enormous stress on the space directly overhead—your attic. Poorly insulated attics invite heat gain in July, heat loss in January, and year-round humidity swings that shorten roof life and inflate energy bills. CountBricks specializes in designing and installing attic insulation Birmingham AL homeowners can trust for consistent comfort and lower operating costs.
Traditional estimating still relies on clipboard notes, paper takeoffs, and phone-tag with suppliers. CountBricks replaces all of that with live voice conversation and AI-driven dashboards:
• Speak your project details once and our platform captures dimensions, roof pitch, and existing R-values in seconds
• Real-time material pricing pulls from regional distributors so you see today’s cost, not last quarter’s average
• Labor calculations adjust automatically for Birmingham attic access types—standard, pull-down stair, or low-slope crawl
• The result: a shareable PDF estimate inside five minutes, branded with your logo, ready to send or convert to an invoice
Cost-effective, non-combustible, and quick to install, blown-in fiberglass remains the most popular option. CountBricks crews routinely reach R-38 to R-49—ideal for our USDA climate zone 3.
Recycled newsprint treated with borates delivers excellent air sealing and sound dampening. It is heavier than fiberglass, so joist spans are verified in the AI takeoff to guarantee structural safety.
Spray foam doubles as an air barrier, making it perfect for knee-wall attics or homes with numerous can lights. CountBricks AI calculations adjust yield rates for summer humidity to prevent off-ratio cures.
1. Voice Consultation: Use our mobile app to describe home age, attic height, and comfort concerns.
2. AI Blueprint Takeoff: Upload a PDF plan or snap photos of the attic; our system extracts square footage and obstruction areas.
3. Same-Day Proposal: Receive a detailed scope showing material type, R-value, prep work, and timeline.
4. Pro Crew Scheduling: Choose your preferred date; crews are pre-assigned via CountBricks.com/scheduling.
5. Clean Install: Floors covered, soffit vents protected, and insulation blown or sprayed to spec.
6. QA & Thermal Imaging: Post-install infrared scan verifies coverage and pinpoints any missed voids.
7. Instant Invoice: Voice-confirm completion, and an invoice auto-generates with online payment links.
The average 1,500 sq ft attic in Birmingham demands 18-20 inches of fiberglass to reach R-49. CountBricks’ live pricing (June 2025) breaks down as follows:

• Labor: $0.90 – $1.20 per sq ft, influenced by access and prep needs
• Disposal & Prep: Usually $150 – $250 for baffle install and light can covers
• Typical Total: $3,450 – $4,800 for a turnkey upgrade, all backed by a transferable lifetime workmanship warranty
Alabama Power studies show up to 25 % HVAC energy reduction after boosting attic R-values from 13 to 49. CountBricks customers report average payback in 3–4 cooling seasons, with comfort gains felt immediately.
• Cooler bedrooms on the second floor during summer heatwaves
• More even furnace runtimes in January cold snaps
• Lower attic humidity—goodbye, mold risk and deck rot
• Quieter indoor environment thanks to thicker overhead sound blanket
Speed: Estimates in minutes, not days.
Precision: AI takeoffs eliminate human error, preventing material shortages and costly overbuys.
Transparency: Every cost line item is visible inside your customer portal—no surprise up-charges.
Expertise: Our crews install over 500,000 sq ft of attic insulation annually across Jefferson and Shelby counties.
Warranty: Lifetime workmanship plus manufacturer-supported material guarantees.
• Keep soffit vents clear—blockage reduces attic airflow and defeats insulation performance
• Inspect recessed lighting annually; upgrade to IC-rated cans if you haven’t already
• Schedule a CountBricks.com/services attic checkup every three years; our techs verify depth and spot settling
• Seal new penetrations—TV cables or security wires—using fire-rated foam to maintain the air barrier

The owners of a 1930s bungalow in Birmingham’s Crestwood neighborhood contacted CountBricks after experiencing 92 °F attic temperatures that seeped into their bedrooms. Within a single voice call, our AI platform captured the attic’s 1,120 sq ft footprint, six can lights, and a tight 22-inch average clearance. The system recommended R-49 cellulose for superior air sealing.
1. Estimate Generation: Time from first hello to signed proposal—12 minutes.
2. Installation: Two installers completed air sealing, baffle placement, and a 14-inch cellulose blow in under four hours.
3. Verification: Post-install thermal scan showed less than 2 °F variance across the deck.
4. Results: Summer HVAC runtime dropped 28 %, and indoor humidity stabilized at 50 % even during August peaks.
• Always cap recessed lights with fire-rated covers before blowing insulation to avoid overheating
• Use an insulation ruler every 8 ft to guarantee uniform depth and faster QA scans
• Pair new insulation with an attic hatch weather-strip kit for an extra R-5 at the access point
Attic insulation rarely stands alone. Our AI estimator can bundle roof replacement, solar prep blocking, or HVAC duct sealing into a single scope. Homeowners view the cost impacts instantly and approve phased schedules inside their portal.
• Insulation + Duct Sealing: Up to 15 % additional energy reduction for only 8 % added cost
• Insulation + Radiant Barrier: 7 °F average attic temperature drop during peak summer
• Insulation + Roof Deck Foaming: Extends shingle life by reducing deck temperature cycling
Whether you own a historic cottage in Avondale or a new build in Hoover, CountBricks brings clarity, speed, and confidence to attic insulation Birmingham AL projects. Launch your voice consultation today at CountBricks.com/consultation and watch AI turn home comfort into a science.
