The pandemic-driven home improvement wave never really slowed down in New York City’s northernmost borough. From classic single-family row houses in Throggs Neck to brand-new condos in Mott Haven, owners are asking for warmer, softer finishes underfoot. That renewed interest points thousands of residents toward carpet stores in the Bronx—yet many arrive unprepared for the real cost, installation timeline, or material choices. CountBricks is here to change that.
Most stores expect homeowners to arrive with exact square footage. Without a recent blueprint, shoppers guess, pad their numbers, and often pay 10-15 % more than they need.
Delivery up fifth-floor walk-ups, existing floor removal, stair wrapping, and Borough-specific disposal fees can add hundreds of dollars. Stores rarely provide a full line-item forecast.
Getting three competitive bids can take weeks when every store uses its own measurement crew. Projects stall while spaces remain unusable.
CountBricks is the Bronx homeowner’s shortcut from showroom to finished floor. Our AI estimate generation software turns a quick voice conversation or a smartphone photo of your floorplan into a detailed bill of materials—right down to the last tack strip.
