Detroit’s housing stock is one of the most diverse in the country, ranging from historic brick colonials to sleek riverfront lofts. Bringing those structures to life with fresh color is more than a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a strategic investment that protects surfaces, boosts value, and differentiates your property in a competitive market. CountBricks leverages cutting-edge AI to make every phase of detroit painting straightforward, predictable, and cost-effective.
Instant Scope Clarity
Voice-activated site walkthroughs feed data into the CountBricks engine in real time, so square footage, substrate conditions, and prep work are captured before you finish your coffee.

Our AI cross-references live pricing from regional suppliers. You receive an optimized list that eliminates over-buying while ensuring enough primer, topcoat, and sundries to finish the job without delays.
Labor You Can Trust
CountBricks maintains a vetted network of local craftspeople. We match crews to your project based on skill set, availability, and past performance logged in our platform.

Climate Cycles
Frequent freeze-thaw cycles can cause premature paint failure. CountBricks specifies elastomeric primers and flexible topcoats in vulnerable zones to extend coating life.
Historic Preservation Rules
Many Detroit neighborhoods have heritage overlays. CountBricks navigates local guidelines to secure color approvals and low-VOC product requirements, reducing client admin time.
Lead Abatement
Homes built before 1978 often demand certified lead-safe work practices. Our crews include EPA-certified renovators, and costs are itemized transparently in your AI estimate.
• Surface Prep & Minor Carpentry: 18% of total
• Primer & Two-Coat Finish: 42% of total
• Specialty Coatings for Trim & Porch: 10% of total
• Labor & Project Management: 30% of total
Because CountBricks updates pricing hourly, you never get blindsided by sudden material spikes.
Exterior First Impressions
A professional detroit painting job can yield up to a 152% return on cost at resale, according to CountBricks market analytics. Choosing a complementary shutter or front-door accent color further elevates curb appeal.
Interior Health & Wellness
Zero-VOC paints minimize off-gassing, making them ideal for families and quick turnarounds on rental properties. CountBricks factors these premium products into the estimate so there are no hidden upgrades later.
Maintenance Planning
Our post-project portal schedules reminders for touch-ups and cleaning, extending coating life and protecting your investment.
• Always pressure-wash exteriors at least 48 hours before paint to allow full drying time.
• Use high-build primers on Detroit’s common cedar trim to bridge small cracks.
• Opt for satin finishes in high-traffic hallways—they balance washability with subtle sheen.
• Paint basement ceilings black to hide mechanicals while adding industrial character.
• Record color codes in the CountBricks app for effortless future matching.
Legacy painters rely on manual takeoffs and dated price books, creating bid gaps and schedule overruns. CountBricks’ AI platform closes those gaps:
• 35% faster project starts compared to industry average
• Less than 2% variance between estimate and final invoice
• 4.8/5 average client rating across 500+ Detroit painting projects—browse highlights at CountBricks.com/portfolio
