A new exterior or interior door seems simple, yet dozens of tiny variables decide whether it closes with a satisfying click or scrapes the jamb for years. From humid Alabama summers that swell wood to regional code updates, the margin for error is razor–thin. That is why homeowners searching for “door installation Montgomery AL” are turning to CountBricks. Our voice-driven AI platform converts a conversation into an itemized estimate in minutes, then our licensed residential crews turn the estimate into a flawless install.
Montgomery’s colonial-style homes, post-war ranches, and modern infills each demand different framing techniques and threshold profiles. CountBricks technicians live and work in the River Region, so they understand:
• Typical 2 × 4 versus 2 × 6 wall depth variations
• Brick-mold requirements for older masonry facades
• Storm-door add-ons that satisfy Alabama’s wind zone regulations
• High humidity causing frame expansion
• Settled foundations leading to out-of-square openings
• Termite damage hidden behind existing casing
• Mismatched hardware finishes with historic trim
Each issue can tack on hundreds of dollars if discovered after demolition. CountBricks eliminates the guesswork by capturing every variable during the initial on-site voice session and flagging risk items inside the AI estimate.
1. Speak with our estimator on your smartphone or through the CountBricks web app.
2. AI transcribes and auto-tags materials, labor tasks, and local pricing pulled from our real-time Montgomery dataset.
3. Within five minutes you receive a detailed PDF and interactive dashboard showing door unit cost, trim options, hardware allowances, and permit fees.
4. Approve with a tap, and our scheduling bot finds a certified installer who has passed CountBricks’ 20-point vetting process.
Whether you want a fiberglass entry door that stands up to Gulf moisture or a solid-core poplar interior slab, CountBricks filters choices by:

When the Pruitt family purchased a 1920s bungalow in Cloverdale, every exterior door had sagged so badly that daylight spilled through the headers. They used CountBricks to tackle the replacement of three Craftsman-style doors without compromising the home’s historic charm.
1. A five-minute voice session captured rough measurements, wood species preferences, and the need for custom stain-grade trim.
2. CountBricks AI cross-referenced local code, sourcing Douglas-fir doors that met energy standards while matching the original grain pattern.
3. The system flagged possible framing irregularities common in pier-and-beam homes. The estimate included a provisional line item for shim packs and jack-stud adjustment so there were no surprise charges.
4. Installation took two days. Real-time progress photos showed precise sill pan flashing and foam insulation to combat Montgomery humidity.
5. Final inspection passed on the first try, and the homeowners received their digital warranty packet through the CountBricks client portal.
• Book installations between late fall and early spring to minimize wood expansion during fitting.

• Transparent line-item pricing updated daily, not hand-written allowances.
• Digital permitting speeds and automatic inspector scheduling save up to two business days.
