Rochester’s four-season climate can be brutal on unprotected crawl spaces. Moisture, cold drafts, and energy loss quickly add up to higher utility bills and hidden structural damage. CountBricks combines decades of residential construction know-how with real-time voice-driven estimating to deliver fast, accurate crawl space insulation solutions for every Rochester home.
• Prevents frozen pipes and reduces winter heat loss
• Blocks summer humidity that encourages mold and wood rot
• Lowers energy consumption by sealing building envelope leaks
• Boosts indoor air quality by isolating soil gases and allergens
• Protects floor framing and hardwoods from seasonal movement
Voice-Powered Estimates
Our field technicians open the CountBricks app, dictate measurements, and receive material quantities and labor hours instantly. No clipboards, no math errors.
Live Material Pricing
The CountBricks database syncs with Rochester suppliers every hour. Your estimate reflects today’s fiberglass, spray foam, vapor barrier, and vent seal pricing—never last month’s list.
AI Blueprint Takeoffs
Have existing plans? Upload PDFs to CountBricks.com/blueprint and let our AI trace joist bays, rim boards, and foundation walls. You’ll see a color-coded insulation layout in minutes.
Turnkey Installation
After approval, our residential crews arrive with a pre-staged kit generated from your estimate. Fewer trips to the hardware store mean faster job completion and lower labor cost.
1. Fiberglass Batts with Vapor Barrier
Affordable and code compliant, ideal for easily accessible crawl spaces. CountBricks secures R-19 batts between joists, then lines walls with a 10-mil poly vapor barrier sealed at seams.
2. Closed-Cell Spray Foam
High R-value per inch and superior air sealing. Perfect for stone foundation walls common in Rochester’s older housing stock. Our crews use low-GWP foam that meets NYS green-building standards.
3. Rigid Foam Board with Sealed Seams
EPS or polyiso panels glued to wall surfaces, followed by taped joints. Provides a clean, durable thermal break and pairs well with conditioned crawl space designs.
4. Hybrid Flash-and-Batt
A 1-inch spray foam “flash” stops air leakage; unfaced fiberglass then fills the cavity. CountBricks recommends this for clients seeking balance between performance and budget.
1. Site Assessment and Moisture Check
CountBricks technicians inspect drainage, ventilation, and existing insulation. A digital hygrometer logs humidity data directly into your project dashboard.
2. Real-Time Estimate Creation
Voice inputs convert to a detailed line-item proposal—including tasks, materials, and timeline—while we’re still on site.
3. Client Review and Digital Approval
You review the scope on any device, request edits, and approve electronically. Deposits and signatures are stored at CountBricks.com/portal.
4. Material Procurement
Our software generates a purchase order synced with local distributors. You see order status inside your dashboard.
5. Installation and Quality Assurance
Certified crews complete insulation, vapor barrier, and air sealing. A CountBricks supervisor runs a final thermal camera scan to confirm even coverage.
6. Post-Project Reporting
You receive before-and-after photos, energy-savings projections, and a transferable warranty PDF.
• Foundation Type – Stone and rubble walls require additional foam depth for uniform coverage
• Access Constraints – Older homes with low clearance may need excavation or modular insulation panels
• Radon Zones – Certain Rochester ZIP codes need integrated radon mitigation membranes
• Seasonal Scheduling – Winter installs demand heated enclosures and anti-freeze additives for spray foam
• Voice data entry reduces estimate preparation from 2 hours to 15 minutes
• AI takeoffs eliminate manual counting mistakes and costly change orders
• Automated purchasing avoids stock shortages and delivery delays
• Predictive crew scheduling aligns installation days with material arrivals

A 1910 Craftsman in Rochester’s Park Avenue district suffered from cold floors and $400 winter heating bills. CountBricks performed an AI takeoff of the 950-sq-ft crawl space, specified a closed-cell spray foam and vapor barrier system, and completed installation in two days. Post-insulation blower-door tests showed a 27% reduction in air leakage, trimming annual energy costs by an estimated $610. View photos at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

All upgrades flow through the same CountBricks voice-to-estimate pipeline. Homeowners track tasks, materials, and inspection dates inside a single dashboard—no juggling multiple contractors or spreadsheets.
A recent Brighton ranch combined insulation, dehumidification, and sump replacement in one CountBricks contract. Utility bills dropped 22%, insurance premiums lowered after flood-risk mitigation, and resale value climbed by $9,400 per an independent appraisal.
• Replace dehumidifier filters every six months to maintain airflow
• Pour a gallon of water into your sump pit quarterly to test pump activation
• Log crawl space humidity readings in the CountBricks homeowner app for trend analysis
• Schedule an annual CountBricks infrared scan to catch insulation voids early
