When North Florida humidity meets rapidly growing neighborhoods, drywall quality matters more than ever. CountBricks combines AI-driven estimating, seasoned crews, and local sourcing to deliver smooth walls that stand up to Tallahassee’s climate. Our platform captures every stud, screw, and sheet in real time, then generates a detailed material list and labor schedule before our field team arrives. The result is a faster build, fewer surprises, and a finish you can paint the same week.
1. Voice-guided site walk: Speak measurements into the CountBricks mobile app and watch instant square-foot totals appear.
2. Automated waste factor: Our algorithms apply region-specific overage for corners and vaults, so you never run short.
3. Live pricing: CountBricks pulls Tallahassee supplier costs every hour, ensuring homeowners see current numbers—no inflated allowances.
• Standard ½-inch gypsum: Ideal for interior ceilings and non-wet walls.
• ⅝-inch fire-rated: Required for attached garages and code-mandated partitions.
• Mold-resistant board: Perfect for bathrooms and kitchens battling Florida moisture.
• Sound-dampening panels: Popular in student-rental areas near FSU to quiet late-night study sessions.
CountBricks crews arrive with calibrated hygrometers because ambient moisture can wreak havoc on tape joints. We stage materials inside conditioned spaces for 24 hours, preventing board sag before the first screw is set. Every joint receives mold-inhibiting compound, and fast-dry additives let us sand the next morning—even during summer rainstorms.

Material fluctuations – Gypsum pricing follows southeast construction booms. CountBricks bulk contracts cushion spikes, saving homeowners an average 6%.
Labor availability – University calendars create seasonal labor gaps. Our AI scheduler predicts demand and secures crews months ahead.
Home design complexity – Trey ceilings and archways add linear footage for corner bead and joint compound. CountBricks AI flags these early so budgets stay realistic.
• Standard 2,500 sq ft single-story: $4.20 – $4.75 per square foot finished Level 4
• Two-story with vaulted bonus room: $4.60 – $5.25 per square foot
• Historic home renovation in Midtown: $5.00 – $6.00 per square foot due to plaster demo and framing adjustment
CountBricks logs every inspection point inside your digital project folder. Photos, moisture readings, and punch-list items sync to the homeowner dashboard. Because documentation is time-stamped, warranty questions are answered in minutes, not weeks. Our average callback rate for drywall in Tallahassee sits at 1.3%, far below the regional average.
• Rent a drywall lift—saving shoulders and producing tighter ceiling joints.
• Stagger end seams: create a stronger sheetrock plane that resists cracking.
• Feather wider—each knife pass should extend the joint width by 2 inches.
• Prime before spotting touch-ups so blended paint matches perfectly.
• Track humidity; never mud above 70% RH if you want bubble-free tape.

A Southwood homeowner wanted an ultra-modern look with frameless lighting troughs and shadow-gap baseboards. CountBricks began by importing their architect’s PDF directly into our AI takeoff engine. Within minutes, the software identified 6,430 square feet of drywall, 740 linear feet of reveal bead, and 112 buckets of joint compound.
• Zero-bead corners: Our crews used laser-guided corner clamps, eliminating the need for metal bead on interior angles.
• Overnight drying: Rapid-set mud mixed precisely to the ounce using CountBricks batch calculators allowed two sanding passes in one day.
• Live punch list: As areas passed QC, the homeowner received push notifications, approving rooms remotely while traveling for work.
The project finished three days early and 2.7% under budget. Lighting washed flawlessly across walls with no flash lines, proving that high-gloss paint and Tallahassee humidity can coexist when drywall is done right.
1. Clear wall plates and low-voltage wiring ends to avoid accidental damage.
2. Confirm HVAC is operational so interior humidity stays below 55% during mudding.
3. Reserve a waste bin; CountBricks recommends one 20-yard container per 10,000 sq ft of board.
4. Alert neighbors; sanding vacuums are quiet, but material deliveries start early.
