A new front entry, patio slider, or interior passage door can transform the way your home looks, feels, and even performs on energy bills. Yet door installation in Houston TX presents unique challenges—from humid Gulf Coast weather to rapidly shifting soil. Homeowners and remodelers across the city rely on CountBricks to keep projects on budget and on schedule while solving those challenges with data-driven accuracy. Below, our residential construction team explains how we leverage AI estimating, blueprint takeoffs, and voice-activated workflows to make your next door upgrade seamless.
Houston’s subtropical climate means swelling jambs in summer and contracting frames during winter cold snaps. Add hurricane-season wind loads and you’ve got a recipe for misaligned hardware if installation is not flawless. CountBricks installers specify materials and fasteners proven to withstand:
• 90-plus percent humidity spikes
• Wind gusts exceeding 120 mph
• Expansive clay soils that shift foundations
Our team performs on-site moisture readings and laser measurements before a single hinge is hung, ensuring the installed unit operates smoothly year-round.
1. Speak your scope: Using the CountBricks mobile app, simply talk through the door style, size, and location. Our AI captures every detail in real time.
2. Automated takeoff: The platform pulls dimensions directly from your existing blueprints or creates new digital sketches if needed.
3. Live material pricing: CountBricks syncs with regional suppliers every 60 seconds, so your estimate reflects the current lumber, steel, or fiberglass costs in Houston.
4. Task sequencing: Labor hours, hardware counts, and trim packages are all auto-scheduled, generating a clear Gantt chart you can access anytime.
5. One-click proposal: Within minutes you receive a branded PDF quote and interactive web proposal, ready to e-sign.
Choosing the right slab or prehung unit affects security, efficiency, and curb appeal. CountBricks consultants guide you through:
• Solid mahogany, oak, or knotty alder for traditional charm
• Fiberglass composites that resist warping in extreme humidity
• Steel doors with integrated foam cores for hurricane-zone protection
• Low-E glass inserts to cut cooling loads during Houston’s hot season
Because our platform updates local pricing continuously, you can evaluate each option against your budget while we’re still on the call.
CountBricks crews follow a standardized installation checklist refined across hundreds of Houston projects. Homeowners see exactly when:
• Rough openings are inspected and adjusted
• Weather-resistant flashing tape is applied
• Shims are set for plumb, level, and square alignment
• Expanding foam and backer rod are installed for airtight seals
• Trim and hardware get their final fit and finish
Typical single-door replacements take four to six labor hours, while multi-panel patio systems may require a full day. Our schedule factors Houston traffic patterns to ensure on-time arrival.
Although every project is unique, CountBricks data shows these averages:
• Basic hollow-core interior door: $250-$375 installed
• Solid wood interior door with custom casing: $400-$650 installed
• Fiberglass entry system with sidelights: $1,400-$2,600 installed
• Impact-rated steel door: $2,000-$3,500 installed
Our AI eliminates surprise up-charges by locking in material prices at the time of proposal.
Handy homeowners can swap an interior slab on a free weekend, but exterior units demand professional tools and experience. Risks of DIY mishaps include:
• Misaligned latch that compromises security
• Poor weatherstripping leaving air gaps up to ⅛ inch
• Uneven threshold causing water intrusion during Houston downpours
