Windows command more wall space in today’s open-concept floor plans than ever before. The right blinds can elevate a living room, protect flooring from UV fade, and even improve monthly energy bills. At CountBricks, we weave window-covering expertise into our comprehensive residential construction services, giving Salem homeowners a single partner from blueprint takeoff all the way to the final walkthrough.
Salem’s wet winters, bright summers, and temperature swings mean window treatments must juggle insulation, glare control, and moisture resistance. Our AI estimation engine factors local weather data into every blinds specification so your project receives the ideal R-value, slat size, and finish.
• Reduce solar heat gain during dry, 90-degree July afternoons
• Lock in warmth on 35-degree January mornings
• Resist mildew in high-humidity shoulder seasons
• Complement Pacific Northwest design styles—from Craftsman to contemporary farmhouses
1. Voice-Activated Scope Capture: Walk us through room dimensions while on-site. Our software transcribes and assigns square footage to each window opening in real time.
2. AI Cost Engineering: CountBricks instantly pulls current Salem material costs for wood, composite, vinyl, and aluminum blinds, then layers on labor rates based on the exact installation complexity of each window type.
3. Instant Estimate & Visual Mock-up: Receive a downloadable PDF and a 3D overlay showing how your chosen blinds will look on the elevations stored in CountBricks.com/portfolio.
4. Scheduled Install: Once approved, our project dashboard lets you select an installation slot. Every task auto-syncs with local trade calendars, keeping the build on pace with other remodeling work.
5. Final QA & Warranty Registration: After install, CountBricks scans each window with LiDAR to verify plumb, level, and tilt tension. Warranty info is registered before we leave your driveway.

When the Parker family opened their main floor during a CountBricks-led remodel, they needed cohesive window treatments that matched teak furniture yet defended against strong western sun. Our AI engine recommended wide-slat composite blinds in a custom “Nutmeg” stain. The project closed in 28 days, two days ahead of schedule, and post-install energy readings showed a 12% drop in afternoon cooling demand.

Blinds are rarely a standalone upgrade. In most Salem remodels, they intersect with trim carpentry, drywall finishing, and smart-home wiring. CountBricks’ unified workflow keeps every trade aligned, preventing the “scope gaps” that plague traditional contracting models.
• Shared Schedule: The same cloud calendar governs framing, painting, and blinds installation to eliminate site conflicts.
• Unified Change Orders: If a homeowner upgrades from manual to motorized blinds mid-build, our platform automatically updates electrical and millwork scopes.
• Consolidated Invoicing: One invoice covers materials, labor, and tax, so clients never juggle multiple pay apps.
Before ordering materials, CountBricks generates a room-by-room energy simulation. This reveals where high-reflectance vanes or blackout rollers could shave HVAC loads—vital data for homeowners considering heat-pump retrofits.
Every installer completes the CountBricks Blinds Certification, which includes:
1. Moisture-control techniques specific to the Willamette Valley
2. Laser-guided mounting for ±1 mm accuracy
3. Firmware syncing for motorized units to prevent battery drain
• Five-year labor warranty on all blind installations
• One-click service tickets through your CountBricks dashboard
• Annual maintenance reminders timed to Salem’s seasonal humidity cycles
By embedding window-covering expertise into every construction phase, CountBricks delivers cohesive, worry-free renovations. Whether you’re breaking ground on a custom build or refreshing a 1950s rambler, our AI tools and seasoned crews ensure your new blinds perform as beautifully as they look.
