Billings is booming. From new subdivisions on the West Bench to revitalized bungalows downtown, residential construction has accelerated—and so has the demand for flawless drywall finishes. Whether you are a GC coordinating multiple trades or a homeowner updating a single room, a reliable drywall estimate is the backbone of every successful project. CountBricks makes that precision painless.
• Cold winters and dry summers demand tight building envelopes and robust vapor control.
• Diverse housing stock—from 1940s ranchers to modern custom builds—creates wide-ranging wall assemblies.
• Local labor availability fluctuates with oil, agriculture and tourist seasons, affecting install timelines.
Picture walking a jobsite on Rimrock Road. Instead of juggling a clipboard, simply speak: “Living room, 5/8-inch mold resistant, 720 square feet.” CountBricks’ AI captures each measurement, applies local labor rates and instantly builds an estimate. No transcribing later—just verify and send.
Material sheets fluctuate weekly. CountBricks syncs with regional suppliers every day, so the price you quote at 9 a.m. still makes sense when you check out at 3 p.m. That keeps your margin protected and your homeowner confident.
