Roof replacements and repairs rank among the most urgent projects in residential construction. Homeowners expect fast answers, reliable budgets, and proof that every shingle and flashing detail has been considered. CountBricks brings next-generation estimating to Bronx roofing so contractors can win more bids and protect profit on every install.
The Bronx is home to classic rowhouses, pre-war multifamily walk-ups, and a growing mix of new single-family builds. Each roof profile differs in pitch, layer count, and code requirements. Traditional estimating—scribbling notes on a clipboard, then crunching numbers back at the office—can take days. By the time a number reaches the homeowner, another contractor may have already closed the deal.
CountBricks eliminates that lag. Our AI listens to real-time, on-site conversations and turns them into:
• A full material takeoff for shingles, underlayment, ice-and-water shield, vents, and fasteners
• Labor task lists broken down by tear-off, deck repair, and install
• Costings updated with live Bronx supplier pricing
• Branded proposals and invoices generated before you leave the driveway
1. Start the project call. Our mobile interface captures spoken details such as square footage, layers to remove, and desired shingle grade.
2. AI processes inputs in seconds, referencing CountBricks’ construction ontology and Bronx-specific code libraries.
3. A detailed estimate appears on your device, ready for review with the homeowner.
4. With one tap, create a signature-ready quote, schedule tasks in your calendar, and export a purchase order to suppliers.
• High Tear-Off Waste – Dense housing means tight staging areas. CountBricks accounts for disposal fees and the extra crew time needed to pipe debris to street-level dumpsters.
• Weather Windows – Sudden Atlantic storms can add unplanned tarping. Our scheduling AI cross-checks NOAA forecasts and recommends optimal install dates.
• Building Department Paperwork – Permitting costs and timeline buffers are auto-inserted for Bronx Community Boards 9 through 12, reducing surprise overruns.

A CountBricks contractor recently tackled a 3,100 sq ft reroof on a century-old two-family in Morris Park. The homeowner wanted architectural shingles, ridge ventilation, and ice-and-water shield across all eaves. Traditional estimating methods produced wildly different quotes, so the contractor fired up CountBricks on-site.
• Voice capture identified two skylights, a brick chimney, and 240 ft of leaf-clogged gutters needing replacement.
• AI blueprint takeoff confirmed the complex cross-gabled layout and calculated deck sheets for anticipated rot.
• Live pricing drew on Bronx supplier data, revealing a 6 % discount on bulk shingle bundles that same morning.
1. Homeowner received a polished, itemized quote in under ten minutes—closing the deal before competitors arrived.
2. The contractor locked in material costs immediately, shielding profit when asphalt prices jumped two days later.
3. Built-in change-order workflow captured $1,250 for unexpected soffit repairs with a single tap, keeping cash flow positive.
• Speed equals trust. Instant estimates signal professional competence and drive higher acceptance rates.
• Data drives margins. Real-time pricing eliminates the costly buffer contractors often add “just in case.”
• Automation reduces admin. With invoice, permit paperwork, and supplier POs auto-generated, the crew focused on craftsmanship, not keyboards.
