Few roofing systems have stood the test of time like built up roofing (BUR). Composed of alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabric finished with gravel or a cool-roof coating, BUR provides the durability North Texas homeowners demand. At CountBricks, we blend this proven system with next-generation AI estimating, voice-driven workflows, and blueprint takeoffs to deliver faster, more predictable results for every residential project in Fort Worth.
Fort Worth summers routinely break 100 °F, while spring hailstorms batter shingles and membranes. BUR’s multi-ply structure cushions impacts and resists UV degradation better than single-layer systems. CountBricks field teams pair that resilience with reflective surfacing options that drop attic temperatures by up to 30 °F—cutting cooling costs for homeowners.
Real-time Voice Estimates
Our cloud platform captures live job-site conversations. As your project manager discusses square footage or fascia repairs, CountBricks’ AI converts speech into itemized materials and labor line items. Within minutes, you receive a shareable estimate—no clipboards, no delays.
AI Blueprint Takeoffs
Upload PDFs or photos of your plans to CountBricks.com/blueprint-takeoffs. The system detects roof dimensions, penetrations, and slope, then applies BUR layer counts and Fort Worth code requirements. You approve quantities in a few clicks, slashing pre-construction time by 70 %.
Dynamic Material Pricing
• Live feeds from local suppliers keep asphalt, ply sheet, and aggregate costs current
• Automatic freight allowances account for regional fuel surcharges
• Homeowners receive price-locked proposals that stay valid even when markets shift
CountBricks crews follow a data-driven playbook refined through hundreds of BUR installations:
1. Surface prep with infrared moisture scanning to spot hidden deck rot
2. Self-adhering base sheets to speed dry-in and safeguard interiors
3. Hot-mopped or cold-applied asphalt chosen by project temperature window
4. Mineral cap sheet or white acrylic coating for energy savings
All steps are time-stamped in the CountBricks mobile app, creating a transparent record for warranties and insurance claims.
Using current CountBricks.com/services pricing feeds, a typical 2,000 ft² residence with a 3-ply BUR system and reflective surfacing runs $5.25–$5.85 per square foot installed. That figure includes tear-off, deck repairs under 10 %, and a 20-year workmanship warranty. Optional upgrades—such as tapered insulation for ponding elimination—are quoted instantly inside the AI platform so owners can make informed decisions on the spot.
• 0 % six-month financing through CountBricks partner lenders
• Potential energy rebates for cool-roof coatings in select Fort Worth utility districts
• Storm-damage insurance supplementation handled by CountBricks documentation specialists
Some homeowners ask if modified bitumen or TPO might be “newer and better.” The answer depends on priorities. BUR shines in impact resistance and long-term maintenance costs. Single-ply membranes excel in lighter structural loads. CountBricks consultants walk clients through life-cycle analyses generated by our AI engine so the final choice aligns with budget, curb appeal, and resale goals.
• Schedule semi-annual inspections; small blister repairs prevent full-section replacement
• Refresh reflective coatings every five to seven years to maintain energy savings
• Keep gutters clear to reduce standing water on low-slope sections
• Trim overhanging branches that deposit organic debris onto the gravel layer
• Log all maintenance in your CountBricks homeowner portal to protect the warranty
