Sun, salt air, and ever-changing microclimates make exterior house painting Los Angeles one of the most challenging finishes in residential construction. At CountBricks, we combine field-tested craftsmanship with AI-powered estimating to give homeowners and builders rock-solid numbers and enduring curb appeal. Whether you manage multiple properties or are refreshing a single family bungalow, our real-time cost engine and voice-driven estimating workflow put accurate budgets in your hands before the first drop of paint lands on a brush.
Los Angeles neighborhoods can jump several temperature and humidity zones within a ten-mile radius. That climate spread affects:
• Paint formulation and sheen selection
• Surface prep requirements
• Application windows and crew scheduling
Misjudge any of these variables and your budget—and warranty—can peel away as fast as sun-baked paint. CountBricks solves the problem with live material pricing, regional labor rates, and AI analysis of your blueprints or site photos, delivering an on-the-spot scope that contractors and homeowners can trust.
1. Square footage and architectural details
2. Current coating condition and lead-based paint remediation
3. Accessibility—two-story scaffolding vs. single-story walk-ups
4. Premium coastal or smog-resistant coatings
5. HOA or historical commission color guidelines
CountBricks.com/services breaks each driver into clear line items so you never wonder how we arrived at our numbers.
1. Voice Walkthrough: In a five-minute phone call we capture dimensions, substrate types, and target color schemes.
2. Instant AI Estimate: Our cloud engine references live material costs and outputs a detailed proposal you can e-sign.
3. Digital Color Mock-Up: We overlay your selections onto photos or plans so you visualize the result.
4. Precision Prep: Crews pressure-wash, scrape, and repair surfaces per the ASTM D4214 standard.
5. Prime & Paint: We spray-and-back-roll with airless rigs calibrated for local climate, ensuring uniform mil thickness.
6. Final Scan & Warranty: Our inspectors use moisture meters and thermal cameras to sign off before issuing CountBricks’ 7-year finish warranty.
• Schedule work in spring or fall when daytime temps hover between 60-80 °F for optimal curing

How long does a typical exterior project take?
A 2,000 sq ft single-story home averages five working days from prep to cleanup. Multi-story or ornate facades add only one to two days with CountBricks’ optimized crew scheduling.
Can I supply my own paint?
Yes, but our estimates assume premium contractor-grade coatings we purchase in volume. Supplying your own material may reduce cost certainty and warranty coverage.
What about HOA approvals?
We prepare color boards and compliance letters that expedite HOA sign-off—no extra fee.
Because CountBricks integrates blueprint takeoffs, we flag siding repairs, fascia replacements, and gutter upgrades during the estimating phase. Many clients bundle these tasks to avoid multiple mobilizations and save up to 12 % on total project cost.
