A sleek electric or gas cooktop is now a cornerstone of New York residential kitchen design. From tight Manhattan condos to spacious Rochester colonials, homeowners expect flawless integration, energy efficiency, and rapid turnaround. Yet labor rates, permitting rules, and material availability change block by block—not to mention day by day. That volatility is exactly why contractors and remodelers across the state turn to CountBricks for real-time, AI-driven estimates that keep projects profitable and clients happy.
