When Knoxville homeowners decide it is time to refresh interior style or boost front-door security, the smallest details often deliver the biggest impact. Premium knobs, levers, deadbolts, hinges, and smart locks instantly elevate curb appeal and resale value—yet many residents underestimate the full scope of labor, material choices, and code considerations involved. That is where CountBricks steps in. Our AI-powered construction estimating platform captures every measurement in real time, factors in up-to-the-minute supplier pricing, and generates a crystal-clear budget before a single screw is turned.
Local material pricing, finish selection, and jamb condition can swing total cost by 40 % or more. Through tens of thousands of data points in the CountBricks engine, we see three primary cost drivers:
• Material grade—hollow-core interior knobs may land under $40, while solid brass exterior sets exceed $300 per door
• Code & security—Knox County ordinances require specific back-set lengths and strike-plate depths for exterior doors
• Labor complexity—older Craftsman-era homes around Fourth & Gill often need mortise conversions or shimmed jambs, adding one to two labor hours per opening
1. Standard interior passage knob: $110-$165 installed
2. Premium smart deadbolt: $285-$425 installed
3. Historic mortise restoration: $400-$650 installed
Because CountBricks synchronizes with Knoxville distributors every hour, you always receive the most accurate line-item pricing in your estimate—no hidden add-ons later.
• Visual refresh without full remodel costs
• Improved ADA accessibility with lever handles
• Enhanced security through multi-point or smart locking systems
• Energy efficiency by tightening weatherstripped thresholds
• Increased property value when listing a home in hot neighborhoods like Farragut or West Hills
Using a quick voice conversation on your phone, CountBricks captures door count, swing direction, jamb thickness, and preferred hardware finish. Our algorithm builds a complete materials matrix and labor schedule in seconds.
If you have existing floor plans, just upload them to CountBricks.com/blueprints. Our AI highlights every door symbol, tags quantities, and pushes that data directly into your estimate—eliminating manual plan reviews.
Because we track stock levels and discounts from Knoxville’s leading building-supply houses, CountBricks can recommend in-stock hardware that meets your style and budget. This keeps install schedules on time, even during supply chain crunches.
