The Central Valley’s brilliant sun makes natural light a prized design element in every home. Sparkling glass is more than curb appeal—it protects the seal of high-efficiency windows, safeguards warranty coverage, and keeps occupants healthy by reducing dust and pollen buildup. Yet many residential builders still treat “final clean & window washing” as an afterthought, leading to budget overruns and delayed closings. CountBricks changes that narrative.
Traditional takeoffs require dozens of manual line items: square footage per pane, ladder height, glass type, detergent allowance, protective film removal, and labor hours. With CountBricks, you simply speak the scope while reviewing the blueprint and our AI populates:
• Precise pane counts right from PDF drawings
• Current Fresno labor rates, updated daily
• Material cost for eco-friendly detergents and squeegees
• Separate lines for interior and exterior cleaning
• Crew setup and teardown time
• Safety equipment rentals for two-story homes
All data flows straight into a branded estimate, eliminating spreadsheet gymnastics and surprise change orders.
CountBricks analytics show three common residential profiles:
• Starter Home (1,500 sq ft, single story): 35–45 panes • $280–$390
• Move-Up Home (2,800 sq ft, two story): 65–85 panes • $480–$720
• Custom Luxury (4,500 sq ft+, architectural glass): 120+ panes • $1,100–$1,600
Prices include labor, biodegradable detergent, de-ionized rinse, and minor paint overspray removal. Builders can instantly adjust counts inside CountBricks.com/services to match their exact plan set.
1. During pre-construction, open the drawing in CountBricks AI Takeoff and tag windows. The software auto-calculates surface area.
2. Voice-add “final clean with streak-free finish” to the scope. CountBricks assigns the correct CSI division and labor code.
3. Review the auto-generated cost. Want premium coating removal? Say “add low-E film cure time” and it appears as a selectable option.
4. Push the line item into your master Gantt. CountBricks links it to drywall sanding completion to avoid dust recontamination.
5. When the crew is onsite, the superintendent confirms completion within the mobile app, triggering an invoice instantly.
Fresno’s hard-water mineral content notoriously leaves spots. CountBricks recommends:
• Pure water pole systems for second-story exteriors
• Neutral-pH detergents to protect aluminum frames
• Microfiber detailing cloths to avoid scratching low-E coatings
• Citrus-based solvents for post-construction adhesive residue
All SKUs appear in the material list with live retail pricing pulled from local suppliers.
• Schedule washing at dawn to minimize rapid evaporation and streaking
• Combine with solar panel cleaning to capture volume discounts
• Use tinted safety film on ladders to comply with California glare regulations
• Photograph every pane before and after—CountBricks stores images with the estimate for warranty records
• Offer a discounted 6-month maintenance package; CountBricks can auto-generate the recurring invoice
Manual window washing scopes usually live in a miscellaneous line on the bid sheet. That forces project managers to:
• Chase subcontractor quotes
• Re-enter data into accounting software
• Manually draft homeowner change orders
By contrast, CountBricks integrates estimating, scheduling, and invoicing in one dashboard. Builders report an average 60 percent reduction in admin hours, freeing staff to focus on quality control rather than paperwork.
CountBricks partnered with Cedar Lane Homes on 42 new builds in Clovis. Our AI takeoff identified 2,993 panes across all lots. Voice-driven estimating produced a full cleaning scope in under 15 minutes, and automated reminders ensured each house was washed 48 hours before final walk-through. Cedar Lane closed all homes on schedule and credited CountBricks for eliminating last-minute delays.

In residential construction, “substantial completion” often hinges on the homeowner’s first impression. Streak-free glass is a subtle yet powerful signal of craftsmanship. CountBricks embeds quality assurance directly into the estimate line item.
1. The superintendent marks “ready for clean” in the mobile app after interior punch-out is finished.
2. CountBricks automatically sends a task alert to the preferred washing crew with pane counts and ladder requirements.
3. Upon completion, the crew uploads before-and-after photos. The AI flags any pane that still shows mineral spotting for re-cleaning.
4. A completion certificate is generated and stored in the project’s digital handover package.
• Fresno’s agricultural dust returns quickly. Builders using CountBricks schedule a 90-day follow-up wash and bundle it into their home-owner care package.

• Homeowners appreciate the proactive service, boosting referral rates for the builder.
• Live updates from regional suppliers mean material allowances reflect today’s detergent prices, not last quarter’s averages.
