Energy codes are tightening, utility costs are climbing, and homeowners expect quieter, more comfortable living spaces. Cellulose insulation installation answers all three demands by sealing wall and attic cavities with densely packed, fire-retardant fibers that dramatically reduce air infiltration. At CountBricks, we combine experienced field crews with AI-driven estimating to make cellulose a fast, affordable upgrade for any residential project.
Cellulose is primarily recycled newspaper treated with borate for fire, mold, and pest resistance. Blown into attics or dense-packed into wall cavities, it creates a seamless thermal blanket. Unlike batts, cellulose flows around wiring and plumbing, eliminating thermal gaps that compromise performance.
• Outstanding R-value per inch compared to fiberglass batts
• Superior sound dampening—especially valuable for home offices and media rooms
• Green credentials thanks to 80%+ recycled content
• Non-itch fibers for cleaner, safer job sites
• Lower embodied energy than many foam products
Traditional insulation quotes often rely on square-foot averages that hide waste. CountBricks eliminates guesswork. Our voice-enabled mobile app captures on-site dimensions, then our AI engine references regional material pricing to create precise cellulose insulation installation estimates in seconds. That same data flows into project schedules, purchase orders, and invoices—so clients see complete transparency from day one.
1. Scope Capture: Using CountBricks voice commands, our project manager records wall, ceiling, and attic areas while walking the site.
2. Instant Estimate: The app auto-generates a line-item quote showing material volumes, labor hours, and any required prep such as air sealing.
3. Homeowner Approval: Clients review the branded PDF delivered via CountBricks.com/portfolio and e-sign within the portal.
4. Material Procurement: CountBricks syncs quantities to supplier price feeds, ensuring today’s cost—not last quarter’s averages.
5. On-Site Prep: Crews install netting or drill-and-fill access holes, protecting interiors with drop cloths.
6. Blow-In Application: High-output machines deliver dense-pack cellulose to our calibrated PSI, monitored in real time on the CountBricks field dashboard.
7. Verification: Thermal imaging and depth rulers confirm proper coverage before close-up.
8. Closeout & Invoice: Final data flows into an invoice that exactly matches the approved quote—no surprises.
• Cavity Depth: Deeper walls require more material but may qualify for energy-efficiency rebates.
• Accessibility: Finished walls need drill-and-plug methods; new construction can be netted before drywall.
• Air Sealing Extras: CountBricks flags opportunities for gasketed boxes or attic baffles that boost ROI.
• Regional Pricing: Material and labor rates vary; our live database keeps numbers current for every ZIP code.
CountBricks crews are OSHA-trained and follow NAIMA guidelines for cellulose application. All borate treatments meet UL fire standards, and every bag’s lot number is uploaded to the CountBricks.com/services record for future reference.
Does cellulose settle over time? Dense-pack techniques maintain density, so settling is minimal—typically less than 2%.
Can I add cellulose over existing fiberglass? Yes. We level out batts, add air baffles, and blow cellulose on top for a hybrid approach that often hits R-49 in a single pass.
Is cellulose messy? CountBricks uses sealed delivery hoses and negative-pressure vacuums; clean-up time averages under 20 minutes per zone.

When the Ramirez family purchased their 1990s craftsman, utility bills averaged $325 a month. CountBricks completed a whole-house cellulose retrofit in under three days and delivered measurable savings from the very first billing cycle.
• Scope: Dense-pack exterior walls, R-49 attic blow, attic stair air-seal kit
• Data Capture: 37 voice notes and one smartphone scan fed directly into the CountBricks estimator, producing a 14-line quote in under five minutes
• Material Efficiency: AI optimization reduced bag count by 7% compared to manual takeoff, saving the client $420
• Post-Install Infrared Scan: Surface temperature variance dropped from 11 °F to 3 °F
• Result: 28% reduction in monthly HVAC runtime, verified through the homeowner’s smart thermostat report
1. Early Data Wins: Capturing precise cavity volumes before demolition prevents costly over-ordering.
2. Combine Measures: Pairing cellulose with targeted air sealing multiplies energy savings without multiplying labor hours.
3. Document Everything: The CountBricks platform stores photos, warranty data, and sensor readings, creating a digital twin that reassures homeowners and speeds future renovations.
• Keep hoses warm in winter to maintain optimal cellulose flow rates.
• Calibrate blower settings each morning; just 0.5 PSI variance can cause under-packed cavities.
• Offer attic decking as an upsell—homeowners love safe storage space and it simplifies future service calls.
From starter homes to custom builds, CountBricks streamlines cellulose insulation installation with technology that saves time, material, and money. See more success stories at CountBricks.com/portfolio or book your own assessment through CountBricks.com/consultation.
