When a Nor’easter rolls through Boston, residential roofs take the first hit. Shingles lift, flashing loosens, and leaks appear in the attic. Homeowners want answers fast, but traditional estimating can take days. CountBricks changes the game. Our AI-driven platform listens to a real-time conversation between you and your client, converts every spoken detail into structured line-items, and produces a live, fully costed estimate before you leave the driveway.
The city’s unique mix of triple-deckers, brownstones, and modern infills means every roof project is different. If you underbid, profit disappears. If you overbid, the homeowner calls the next contractor on the list. Precise estimating is your competitive edge—and that’s exactly what CountBricks delivers.
AI Voice Capture
Speak naturally on site. As you describe existing conditions—ice dams, ridge vent damage, dated skylights—CountBricks listens and tags each scope item.
Realtime Material Pricing
Local pricing for architectural shingles, copper flashing, and moisture barriers pulls directly into the estimate, reflecting Greater Boston supply costs in seconds.
Labor & Task Automation
Crew hours for tear-off, sheathing repair, and permit pickups are auto-calculated using regional productivity rates.
Instant Quote Documents
A polished PDF with your logo and terms is emailed to the homeowner before you pack up the ladder. No more late-night spreadsheet sessions.

Integrated Safety Checklists
Residential roof work demands OSHA compliance. Before each shift, field teams complete an app-based safety checklist—guardrail setups, harness inspections, and ladder angle verification. Completion logs attach to the project record, protecting your firm against liability.
Material Delivery Tracking
CountBricks links directly to local suppliers. When a pallet of shingles leaves the yard, the delivery ETA appears on your dashboard, and homeowners receive an automated courtesy alert. Transparent logistics keep driveways clear and neighbors happy.
A January ice dam split open a dormer seam, sending water into a child’s bedroom. The contractor opened a CountBricks “rapid response” template, generated an estimate on the first call, and secured approval within 30 minutes. Work began the same afternoon. Using the safety checklist, the crew documented heat-cable installation and snow-rake procedures. The homeowner received a final invoice under budget, and the contractor earned a five-star review on CountBricks.com/portfolio.
