In a high-desert climate like Albuquerque, your front door works overtime. It shields your family from intense UV rays, sudden monsoon winds, and winter temperature swings—all while setting the design tone for the entire façade. Choosing, pricing, and installing the right exterior door is easier than ever with CountBricks, the residential construction platform that turns live voice conversations into accurate estimates, schedules, and invoices in minutes.
Sand-carrying winds and 300+ days of sunshine can punish low-quality doors. Expansion, fading, and air leakage drive up energy bills and shorten product life. CountBricks AI taps a constantly updated materials database to recommend doors rated for:
• Solar heat-gain limits that meet or exceed local energy codes
• Insulated cores proven to resist warping in 100°F+ temperatures
• Factory finishes formulated for high-UV regions
• Fiberglass: Looks like wood, won’t crack, excellent R-value, minimal upkeep
• Steel: Highest security rating, cost-effective, dents easier than fiberglass
• Solid Wood: Unmatched craft appeal, requires sealing and periodic refinishing
• Composite: Combines wood fiber and resin for stability and paint adhesion
CountBricks voice-powered estimating breaks down every line item so you see where your budget goes:
• Door slab: 35-50 % of total
• Frame & threshold: 10-15 %
• Hardware & smart locks: 15-25 %
• Labor & disposal: 20-30 %

When the Martinez family in North Valley wanted to modernize their 1980s adobe, they worried a new fiberglass entry would clash with traditional vigas and nichos. During a ten-minute voice call, CountBricks captured their aesthetic goals and measured the irregular 42-inch opening created by thick adobe walls.
• The platform matched a craftsman-style fiberglass door with a custom 6-9/16″ jamb, prefinished in a mesquite stain that complements adobe tones.
• Real-time supplier data showed delivery in five days and locked in a price before seasonal demand spikes.
1. Digital blueprint takeoff pinpointed the need for an extended sill pan to channel water away from the stucco façade.
2. CountBricks auto-generated a materials list that included bronze hardware rated for 110 °F surface temperatures.
3. On installation day, the crew accessed step-by-step instructions and inspection checklists inside the CountBricks mobile app, ensuring alignment within 1⁄16″.
• Energy bills dropped 12 % thanks to a tighter air seal and insulated core.
• Sound transmission from nearby Paseo del Norte traffic fell noticeably, boosting indoor comfort.
• Project timeline shaved by 30 % compared to the homeowners’ previous contractor experience.
