Your front door does more than welcome guests—it anchors security, energy efficiency and curb appeal. When the door is warped, drafty or outdated, a simple door replace project can instantly boost property value and homeowner comfort. CountBricks specializes in translating that need into a crystal-clear scope of work, complete with real-time material pricing pulled straight into our estimating engine.
Every residential door replace job varies, but four core factors drive price:
• Door type: solid wood, fiberglass, steel, or smart security models
• Rough opening condition: minor shimming vs. full frame rebuild
• Hardware upgrades: smart locks, sidelights, thresholds, weatherstripping
• Labor intensity: one-person install or a two-tech team for oversized units
CountBricks captures each of these elements via voice while you walk the site. Our AI instantly builds itemized tasks—demo, disposal, flashing, finish carpentry—so your numbers are never missing a line item.

When the Martin family bought a 1920s bungalow in Providence, their first priority was security and energy savings. The existing wooden door had a half-inch gap under the threshold and visible rot along the lower jamb. Using the CountBricks mobile app, our project manager captured measurements and narrated site conditions in under five minutes. The AI generated:
• A materials list featuring a fiberglass insulated door slab, composite frame, adjustable sill, smart deadbolt and satin nickel hardware
• Labor tasks for demo, rough opening repair, flashing, install, foam insulation and finish carpentry
• A 12-hour schedule integrating a painter on day two for seamless color matching
Because pricing pulled live from the local supplier network, the Martins signed the digital quote on the spot. The crew arrived three days later, guided by CountBricks’ task checklist. Mid-install, unexpected shiplap thickness required wider casing—our foreman spoke the change, and the platform instantly adjusted materials, cost and invoice totals.
• 18% reduction in total project time versus the Martins’ previous contractor experience
• Zero cost overruns thanks to real-time material re-pricing
• Blower-door test confirmed a 25% improvement in air-seal performance
• Early voice documentation captures hidden complexities before they derail the budget
• Integrated scheduling ensures trim painters, alarm techs and inspectors never clash
• Dynamic invoices keep homeowner trust intact, even when on-site surprises occur
