The charm of a carriage-style garage door can elevate any home’s curb appeal, but a cracked or dented panel instantly undoes that magic. Replacing a single panel, rather than the entire door, is cost-effective—if it is executed with accuracy. CountBricks combines real-time AI estimating, voice-driven job scoping, and a vetted installer network to make carriage door panel replace work painless for homeowners and subcontractors alike.
Carriage doors mimic the look of swing-out barn doors while operating on modern overhead tracks. A typical four-panel residential door includes:
• Stile-and-rail framing that supports decorative overlays
• Insulated or non-insulated core sheathing
• Face overlays in composite, steel, or natural wood
• Hardware kits: strap hinges, pulls, latches, and brackets
When just one panel is compromised, CountBricks technicians measure the rails, stile width, overlay thickness, insulation value, and finish color to guarantee the new section blends seamlessly.
Traditional estimating can take days of back-and-forth emails. With CountBricks, you simply speak the scope into your phone:
1. “Replace lower right panel on 16-foot carriage door.”
2. Our AI cross-checks live material databases for brand-matched overlays, insulation, weatherstripping, and paint codes.
3. Labor units are auto-generated based on regional wage data and task difficulty.
4. A shareable estimate and invoice appear in seconds, ready for client approval.
• Save up to 60 % compared with full door replacement
• Stay compliant with manufacturer warranties—our database holds spec sheets for every major carriage door line
• Zero color-matching stress: AI suggests factory-approved paints and stains
• Timeline transparency: integrated Gantt charts show production, delivery, and install milestones
1. Initial call or voice note triggers a CountBricks estimate.
2. A technician photographs your existing door and measures panel dimensions.
3. CountBricks orders the exact replacement section or fabricates a custom match.
4. On site, our crew releases torsion spring tension, removes hinge pins, and slides out the damaged panel.
5. New panel is installed, balanced, and cycle-tested 15 ×.
6. Decorative hardware is re-mounted; finish touch-ups applied.
7. You receive a digital close-out packet inside your CountBricks client portal.
Manufacturers retire profiles every few years. CountBricks’ material library flags discontinued SKUs and auto-recommends
• Custom CNC milling for wood overlays
• Sheet-metal stamping for steel skins
• 3D-printed composite caps for unique edge details
Sun exposure can fade a door by up to 15 %. Our AI uses spectrophotometer readings to adjust stain formulas, ensuring your new panel never looks “fresh off the shelf.”
Swapping a single panel alters door weight distribution. CountBricks recalculates spring torque and cable drum settings so your opener motor isn’t over-stressed.
General contractors bidding a full façade refinish often overlook garage door details. Upload a PDF of the elevation to CountBricks.com/takeoff, and our AI highlights every garage door, notes panel counts, and assigns line-item costs for possible replacements. You can:
• Export to your existing budgeting software
• Merge takeoff data with live supplier pricing
• Generate side-by-side “repair vs. replace” cost comparisons for homeowner presentations
CountBricks syncs with popular field-report apps, turning site photos into scoped line items. The moment your tech snaps a damaged panel, the platform logs dimensions, suggests SKU matches, and schedules an install crew—all before they leave the driveway.

• CountBricks’ blueprint takeoff module referenced the original builder’s plans from 2008, automatically confirming panel dimensions and rail spacing.
1. A local mill partner reproduced the tongue-and-groove overlay within 48 hours.
2. CountBricks scheduled installation during the family’s workday, removing the damaged panel, balancing torsion springs, and cycling the door 15 times for safety.

• Project duration: under three days from first call to completion
