A 1912 two-story on Rochester’s Park Avenue needed a front door that honored its Arts & Crafts façade yet met modern energy codes. The homeowner voiced three goals: preserve the stained-glass transom, stop winter drafts, and stay under a $4,000 budget.
1. After a 90-second phone conversation, CountBricks VoiceCapture identified a wood-grain fiberglass unit with an insulated oak sill.
2. The platform recognized the existing transom dimension from an uploaded photo and excluded it from demolition labor, saving $200.
3. Live pricing pulled a seasonal discount on polyurethane foam, dropping material cost by 6 %.
