First impressions begin at the front door. In Louisville’s vibrant residential neighborhoods—from the Highlands to Prospect—architectural character meets Southern hospitality. Well-chosen front door hardware adds curb appeal, strengthens security, and signals the craftsmanship inside. CountBricks, Louisville KY’s leading AI-powered estimating platform and construction partner, streamlines every step—from voice-driven takeoff to final installation—to make your hardware upgrade fast, precise, and budget friendly.
