When a leak stains the living-room ceiling or a basement remodel finally gets the green light, homeowners across Maine open a browser and type “drywall me.” They want two things: accurate pricing and a contractor who can keep the project on schedule. CountBricks supplies both through AI-driven estimates, live material databases, and voice-powered workflows designed specifically for residential construction.
• Drywall sheets cost more to ship to rural counties than to Portland distribution hubs
• Moist, coastal climates demand mold-resistant board and specialty joint compounds
• Seasonal labor swings can move installation rates up to 15 % between January and July
Generic cost calculators ignore these details, leaving homeowners—and contractors—guessing. CountBricks pulls zip-code pricing from regional suppliers every hour, so the figure you see today still makes sense when the truck arrives tomorrow.
Instead of scrolling through drop-downs, you simply talk. Tell CountBricks, “I need to replace 600 square feet of 5/8-inch drywall on a vaulted ceiling,” and our natural-language engine converts that sentence into quantifiable scope. No tapes, no spreadsheets—just conversation.
Behind the scenes, CountBricks checks price feeds from local yards every 60 seconds. That means your estimate reflects the exact cost of mold-resistant board in Augusta, the going rate for type-G screws, and the latest labor benchmarks published for Maine installers.
Upload a PDF plan and watch CountBricks trace walls, calculate surface area, and apply waste factors in seconds. Our AI compares framing layouts against drywall sheet sizes to minimize seams, material waste, and—you guessed it—your final bill.

When an early spring thaw sent water through a 1920s Augusta bungalow, the owners feared weeks of disruption and spiraling costs. Their contractor opened CountBricks during the site walk-through and spoke the scope aloud: “Tear out 250 square feet of soaked 1/2-inch drywall, install new 5/8-inch Type X, tape, mud, prime, and repaint.” Eight seconds later, CountBricks displayed a complete line-item estimate, including:
• Material quantities down to the last corner bead
• Labor hours adjusted for 9-foot ceilings
• Disposal fees for damaged gypsum board
The homeowners approved on the spot. Because CountBricks locks material prices for seven days, the contractor ordered board immediately through his linked supplier account and scheduled a crew for the following Monday. The ceiling was restored, primed, and painted in three days—two weeks faster than the neighborhood average.
• Capture photos and dictate notes into CountBricks during the walk-through to auto-populate your scope of work
• Use the “good-better-best” feature to present fire-rated, mold-resistant, and standard board options side-by-side
• Convert the accepted quote to an invoice on CountBricks.com/portfolio to keep paperwork seamless and professional
Whether you are patching a single hole or boarding an entire new build, CountBricks turns the vague search “drywall me” into measurable action—and measurable profit.
