Brooklyn’s tree-lined streets and historic brownstones create a postcard skyline, but the borough’s weather patterns can be brutal on exterior finishes. Harsh freeze-thaw cycles, salty coastal winds, and surprise summer downpours put gutter systems under nonstop pressure. When gutters fail, water backs up, brick facades crumble, and basements flood—expensive headaches no homeowner wants. That’s where CountBricks steps in.
Brooklyn residents demand reliability, speed, and transparent pricing. CountBricks delivers all three by fusing on-site craftsmanship with industry-leading AI tools.
• Voice-driven estimating means you can describe your gutter project in real time and receive a detailed, line-item quote before our team leaves the curb.
• Realtime materials pricing pulls current costs for aluminum, copper, or galvanized steel—no budget-busting surprises.
• AI blueprint takeoffs let us measure every eave and downspout location digitally, eliminating manual errors on complex rooflines.
• Cloud-synced schedules keep homeowners, project managers, and installers updated to the minute.
• Lake-effect snow from New York Harbor creates heavy ice dams that rip sub-par gutters off fascia boards.
• Sudden nor’easter winds drive rain under shingles, increasing the need for perfectly pitched gutters.
• Salt spray accelerates corrosion, making material selection and protective finishes critical.
Brooklyn’s architectural guidelines often favor discrete profiles that complement brownstone cornices. CountBricks sources gutters in three primary materials:
• Seamless Aluminum: Lightweight, affordable, and installed in one continuous run to minimize leaks.
• Half-Round Copper: A heritage look that patinas beautifully and lasts 50+ years—perfect for landmark districts.
• Galvanized Steel: Superior strength against tree limb impact, ideal for properties with mature street trees.
1. On-site voice consultation captures home dimensions, downspout locations, and homeowner preferences.
2. AI blueprint takeoff calculates linear footage and optimal downspout count.
3. Realtime material pricing feeds into CountBricks Estimate Engine, generating a complete quote in seconds.
4. Homeowner reviews digital proposal—including 3D visual of gutter color on the facade—via CountBricks.com/portfolio.
5. One-click acceptance locks in pricing and auto-schedules the install crew.
Our gutter technicians arrive with roll-forming machines that fabricate seamless lengths right at the curb. This eliminates transport dents and ensures every gutter section is tailored to Brooklyn’s quirky roof lines.
• Old gutters are removed and recycled locally.
• Fascia boards are inspected; rot is replaced before new gutters are attached.
• Hidden hangers are positioned every 24 inches to resist wind uplift.
• Downspouts are routed away from foundations and, when possible, tied into existing rainwater harvesting barrels.
• Install leaf guards to combat plane tree debris that clogs downspouts every fall.
• Ask CountBricks to integrate heat cables if your roof has a northern exposure prone to ice dams.
• Schedule an annual spring flush—CountBricks crews use low-pressure jets to clear winter grit without damaging seals.
CountBricks clients receive a downloadable spreadsheet showing:
• Material cost per linear foot
• Labor hours estimated and actual
• Disposal fees and borough permits
Because pricing updates in real time, you see exactly why copper might cost 3× more than aluminum—and decide whether the 50-year lifespan is worth it.
A 1903 Clinton Hill townhouse suffered chronic cellar leaks. Using our AI takeoff tool, CountBricks mapped 148 feet of obsolete K-style gutters. We recommended seamless 6-inch aluminum with larger downspouts to handle high roof runoff. Installation took 6 hours, and smart sensors now send overflow alerts to the homeowner’s phone. Basement humidity dropped 38% within two weeks.

Brooklyn homeowners who replace gutters often overlook the connected systems that keep moisture away from brickwork. CountBricks provides an integrated approach that elevates gutter installation into a holistic water-management plan.
• Parapet Cap Flashing: Our crews install pre-formed metal caps that stop wind-driven rain from seeping into masonry mortar joints.
• Sub-grade Drainage Tie-ins: New downspouts can connect to French drains, moving water safely beyond the foundation footprint.
• Smart Monitoring: Optional IoT sensors alert you through the CountBricks dashboard if overflow or ice buildup occurs, allowing proactive maintenance.
A Park Slope client hired CountBricks for gutter replacement but mentioned persistent damp spots along the garden-level wall. Our AI inspection suggested inadequate splash blocks. We added perforated pipe drainage and cap flashing during the gutter install. Result: exterior wall moisture levels dropped to safe ranges within one season, saving an estimated $12,000 in potential brick repointing costs.
1. Modular Estimates: Each add-on (flashing, drainage, sensors) is priced individually, so you can mix and match based on budget.
2. Unified Timeline: Because materials are sourced simultaneously, additional tasks seldom extend project duration.
3. Centralized Warranty: One CountBricks warranty covers gutters and any related water-management components, simplifying future claims.
