Bostonians love history, but they also love comfort, energy efficiency, and great design. Nowhere is that more obvious than in the demand for well-built, properly installed Boston doors. From triple-locked front entries in Beacon Hill brownstones to sleek shaker-style interiors in new South End condos, doors shape a home’s security, performance, and aesthetics. CountBricks brings AI-powered speed to the process while preserving the craft that New England homeowners expect.
Climate Resilience Boston winters are notoriously harsh and humid summers can warp lesser door slabs. Selecting the right core, finish, and threshold details prevents drafts and swelling.
Historic Preservation Many neighborhoods carry preservation guidelines. Matching stile widths, panel profiles, and period hardware is essential to pass inspection.
Energy Codes Massachusetts requires U-factor and air-infiltration ratings that exceed national standards. A door package must document compliance to obtain permits.
Traditional estimating methods demand hours of blueprint counting, supplier calls, and manual spreadsheets. CountBricks compresses that workflow into minutes.

2. Our AI instantly converts the conversation into a detailed takeoff, categorizing each unit by size, fire rating, swing, and finish.
3. Real-time pricing pulls from local distributors so you see current costs for frames, slabs, hardware, labor, and disposal.
4. A polished proposal, complete with scope notes and payment schedules, is automatically created and ready to email or e-sign.
• Solid core shaker primed interior pre-hung with 3” colonial casing
• Two-panel hollow core slab replacement for quick flips
• 20-minute fire-rated doors with smoke seals for multi-family corridors

• Custom arched double doors for Victorian townhouses
CountBricks itemizes every cost component so you can adjust scope or material before signing a contract.
Door Slab Material, veneers, fire rating, and sound rating determine base price.
Frames & Casing Finger-joint pine is economical; poplar or hardwood ups the finish grade.
Hardware Hinges, knobs, smart locks, closers, and panic devices are priced separately for transparency.
Finish Work Painting or staining adds time and protects against humidity shifts.
Labor Boston’s prevailing wage environment means installation skill commands premium rates.
Disposal & Protection Debris removal and temporary door protection film keep jobsites compliant and clean.
• Order an extra slab to match paint lots and avoid downtime if damage occurs
• Upgrade weatherstripping to acoustic seals when units face busy streets
• Specify adjustable sill systems to handle Boston’s mix of brick and wood subfloors
• Use concealed header bolts on double doors to reduce air infiltration
• Schedule delivery in off-peak traffic windows; downtown access permits can slow crews

Within an hour the project manager received a full estimate, complete with supplier stock confirmation. The crew started three days later, and the punch-list closed with zero door-related callbacks. Speed—without sacrificing finish quality—helped the client list units on schedule.

CountBricks’ default specification includes adjustable thresholds and foam-backed weatherstripping that beat code by 15 %. Homeowners report utility savings that recoup installation costs within three heating seasons.
