The term “DOVER DOOR” has become a local shorthand for high-quality exterior and screen door upgrades in Dover’s thriving residential neighborhoods. Homeowners want curb appeal, airtight energy performance, and a smooth installation experience. Contractors want a fast, accurate way to price those requests. CountBricks delivers both. By combining real-time voice conversation, AI blueprint takeoffs, and current materials databases, CountBricks transforms a Dover door inquiry into a fully costed estimate and ready-to-issue invoice in minutes.
• Dover’s older housing stock needs modern, energy-efficient door systems

2. Screen or Storm Options – Multi-track screens, retractable panels, and impact glass add materials and labor hours.
3. Framing & Trim – Historic homes may require custom jambs, rot replacement, or milled trim to meet HOA guidelines.
4. Hardware & Security – Smart locks, multi-point latching, and hurricane hinges can add 15-20 % to the total.
