Homeowners across Birmingham are looking for outdoor spaces that add value, comfort, and curb appeal. CountBricks makes that vision simple. By combining AI voice-driven estimating with local, on-site craftsmanship, we deliver deck installation Birmingham AL residents trust for speed, accuracy, and lasting quality.
• Boost resale value with an attractive outdoor living area
• Expand entertaining space without expensive room additions
• Take advantage of Alabama’s mild evenings and vibrant grilling culture
• Create a safe play zone for kids and pets
With CountBricks, every benefit is amplified by precise material takeoffs, transparent pricing, and a build schedule you can set your watch by.
Our humid summers and occasional winter freezes demand smart material choices. CountBricks engineers each deck to handle:
• High UV exposure that can bleach untreated lumber
• Sudden downpours that require fast-draining substructures
• Termite activity common to central Alabama
We factor these realities into every estimate we generate through CountBricks.com/services, ensuring your deck stays solid and vibrant for decades.
1. Speak your project goals aloud in our mobile app or web portal.
2. Our AI captures measurements in real time or ingests your uploaded blueprints for automatic takeoffs.
3. Immediate line-item estimates appear, reflecting current Birmingham lumber, composite, and hardware costs.
4. Approve with one tap, schedule with another, and our vetted installation team is on the way.
This voice-to-invoice workflow cuts traditional estimating time by up to 80%, keeping your project moving.
Pressure-Treated Pine
• Budget-friendly and readily available locally
• Requires annual sealing for maximum life
Premium Composite Boards
• Fade-resistant colors ideal for Birmingham sun

Cedar or Ipe Hardwoods
• Natural resistance to insects and rot

CountBricks sourcing specialists secure bulk pricing on all three categories, and our AI tool shows the cost delta instantly so you can choose confidently.
Because lumber prices shift weekly, our AI pulls real-time numbers. Typical ranges we see:
• Standard 12’ x 16’ pressure-treated deck: $7,800–$9,200 turnkey
• Same size in composite: $12,500–$14,600
• Premium hardwood: $15,200–$18,400 depending on species
Every estimate includes demolition (if needed), footings, framing, decking, rails, stairs, permits, and cleanup. No surprises, just clarity.

The Smith family loved their 1950s Crestwood bungalow but hated the rotting 10’ x 10’ deck. They needed more space for weekend BBQs without breaking the bank. Here’s how CountBricks delivered:
• Mrs. Smith launched the CountBricks app and described her dream 16’ x 20’ composite deck with built-in seating.
• Our AI parsed the conversation, generated a full material list, and priced it at $13,450—15% below her tentative budget.
1. Permits were approved in four business days using digital submissions managed through CountBricks.com/services.
2. Installation started the following Monday; framing and decking finished in six workdays despite a mid-week thunderstorm.
3. Final inspection passed on the first attempt, thanks to pre-configured checklists inside our project dashboard.
• Usable outdoor area grew by 220 square feet.
• Composite lumber in coastal gray reduced heat absorption by 18% compared to their old pressure-treated boards.
• Zillow estimate of home value increased by $18,000—surpassing project cost within days of completion.
