Hot, humid summers followed by damp, chilly winters make window performance a year-round priority for Birmingham homeowners. Drafty sashes raise energy bills, but poorly installed replacements can be just as costly. CountBricks combines local construction expertise with real-time AI estimating to deliver windows that stand up to central Alabama’s climate while protecting your budget.
AI-Driven Accuracy
Our voice-activated estimating engine captures on-site measurements in seconds and taps live material databases to price each component. No more waiting days for a manual quote—homeowners receive an itemized estimate before we leave the driveway.
Local Climate Insight
CountBricks crews have installed thousands of energy-efficient units across Jefferson and Shelby Counties. We understand solar heat-gain coefficients, SHGC ratings, and how Birmingham’s pollen can shorten the lifespan of low-grade weatherstripping.
One-Stop Service
From blueprint takeoffs to final inspection, CountBricks manages every stage. Our in-house crews are certified by leading U-factor testing bodies, so clients never juggle multiple subcontractors.
• Lower annual utility costs by up to 28 % with ENERGY STAR-rated glazing
• Boost curb appeal and resale value in competitive neighborhoods like Crestwood and Lakeview
• Reduce outside noise on busy routes such as Highway 280
• Minimize condensation and mold growth in humid months
• Secure industry-leading warranties backed by CountBricks’ service team
Double-Hung Vinyl
Affordable and easy to clean, these windows suit most post-war bungalows. Choose Low-E glass to reflect UV rays without darkening interiors.
Composite Clad
A fiber overlay resists Alabama’s extreme moisture swings, preventing the swelling common in wood frames.
Aluminum Impact
Ideal for storm-prone areas. CountBricks secures strongpoints to existing studs, meeting local wind-borne debris codes.

Pricing varies, but CountBricks AI data reveals three dominant variables:
• Frame material: Vinyl averages $380 per opening; composite averages $540
• Glass options: Standard double-pane vs. Low-E argon adds roughly 12 %
• Installation complexity: Brick façades add 1-2 labor hours, while wood siding requires additional flashing
Because our software adjusts to live material markets, clients lock in the most current pricing and avoid surprise overages.
Alabama Power often offers short-term rebates for energy upgrades, and federal tax credits cover 30 % of qualifying costs up to $600 per window. CountBricks automatically flags eligible line items in your quote and supplies documentation at tax time.
Myth 1: All Low-E coatings perform the same
Reality: SHGC ratings should match Birmingham’s mixed climate—too low and winter heating bills rise. CountBricks specifies regionally optimized coatings.
Myth 2: Bigger air gaps mean better insulation
Reality: After 13 mm the insulating gain levels off. Oversized gaps can warp spacers—our AI tool flags such mismatches before purchase.
• Schedule installations between March and May for mild temperatures and faster caulk curing
• Opt for full-frame replacement when sashes show rot—pocket installs hide structural issues
• Use bronze tint on west-facing windows to reduce afternoon glare
• Add trickle vents instead of opening sashes for humidity control
• Photograph each room pre-project; CountBricks matches trim paint at close-out

The Problem: A 1940s two-bedroom on 7th Avenue South was hemorrhaging conditioned air through original single-pane glass. Monthly utility bills peaked at $420 in August.
The CountBricks Solution:
1. AI site capture mapped 18 openings, generating a quote of $11,960 for composite double-hung Low-E argon units.
2. Homeowner approved instantly via e-signature on the CountBricks client dashboard.
3. Our crew completed full-frame replacement in four days, including trim repaint.
4. Post-install blower-door test showed a 34 % reduction in air infiltration.
Outcome: The first winter’s gas bill dropped by $78 per month, and the property appraiser added $19,000 in resale value.
