Few exterior finishes deliver the rustic warmth of fence board siding. Whether you are refreshing an aging façade or wrapping a new custom build, the overlapping boards protect the structure while adding authentic texture. Because the boards are exposed to sun, wind, and rain, proper material selection, fastening, and finishing are crucial. That is where CountBricks’ residential construction expertise shines.
• Timeless aesthetic that pairs with modern and traditional architecture
• Budget-friendly compared to shingle or fiber-cement options
• Boards are easy to replace individually, reducing long-term maintenance costs
• Natural insulative qualities improve comfort and energy efficiency
• Wide range of stains and paints for custom curb appeal
• Moisture intrusion at seams that leads to rot — CountBricks details flashing and breathable house wrap in every estimate
• Warping caused by unseasoned lumber — our live materials feed flags low-grade stock before it reaches your jobsite
• Inconsistent board spacing — CountBricks crews use laser chalk lines recorded in the project notes generated by our AI voice system
• Schedule delays waiting for specialty fasteners — the software auto-orders hardware the moment you approve your quote
Traditional estimating is a tangle of spreadsheets and guesswork. CountBricks replaces that with a real-time, voice-driven workflow:
1. Speak your scope. During a site walk, open the CountBricks mobile app and describe each elevation in natural language.
2. Instant AI estimate. Our engine parses your words into tasks, quantities, and current lumber prices pulled straight from regional suppliers.
3. Review and adjust. Need thicker battens or upgraded stain? Tweak items on screen; totals update automatically.
4. One-tap proposal. CountBricks generates a branded PDF complete with material list, timeline, and payment schedule.
5. On-site execution. Approved quotes push to the field app so crews see board lengths, nailing patterns, and safety notes in real time.
Cedar: Naturally resistant to decay and insects, cedar is the premium choice for homeowners seeking longevity without heavy chemical treatments.
Redwood: Similar performance to cedar with a deeper hue. Redwood costs slightly more but weathers to an elegant silver-grey.
Pressure-treated pine: The budget leader. When sealed correctly, modern treatments extend service life to 15-20 years. CountBricks calculates the extra labor for sealing so your bid stays accurate.
Labor represents roughly 45 % of a typical fence board siding job. Material accounts for 40 %, and the remaining 15 % covers permits, waste disposal, and overhead. Because lumber prices fluctuate weekly, old-school static pricing can sink profits or blow budgets. CountBricks’ live market feed locks pricing at the moment you generate the proposal, protecting both contractor and homeowner from unpleasant surprises.
• Bundle projects. Combine siding with deck repairs in the same session; CountBricks consolidates delivery fees.
• Use blueprint takeoffs. Upload plans to CountBricks.com/takeoffs and let AI find every linear foot of trim and flashing.
• Track change orders by voice. Say “add gable vent trim” and the system updates totals instantly—no paperwork lag.
• Share the client view. Homeowners appreciate transparent line items, boosting trust and approval speed.
Fence board siding lasts decades when maintained. CountBricks offers scheduled upkeep plans that include annual inspections, spot-replacements, and re-sealing. Our software reminds both you and the homeowner when service is due, ensuring the siding you install today keeps performing tomorrow.
