Every project starts with understanding the home’s structure and the homeowner’s lifestyle. A craftsman bungalow in Crestwood wants a cedar overlay door that accents brick masonry, while a new-build in Hoover may prioritize insulated steel for lower energy bills. Our method adapts to both.
1. Initial Call & AI Estimate – Discuss door type, opener preference, and finishes while CountBricks AI prices the project in real time.
2. Site Verification – A licensed field tech laser-measures the opening, checks jamb plumb, and confirms electrical supply for the opener.
3. Final Spec Selection – Choose panel design, color, window lites, R-value, and smart-home integration.
4. Material Procurement – We order directly from regional distributors to avoid freight delays common to Birmingham’s rail hubs.
5. Installation Day – Old door removal, new track mounting, spring balancing, and opener programming completed in a single visit.
6. Quality Audit – A CountBricks inspector verifies weather-seal compression and safety-reverse calibration before signing off.
• Brick jamb infills can require angle-iron headers, adding 6-10% to framing costs
• Basement garages on Red Mountain slopes often need low-headroom track kits
• High humidity accelerates torsion spring wear; upgrading to oil-tempered coils extends service life
• Local code mandates wind-load ratings near 115 mph—especially important in hurricane season
Traditional Raised Panel
Timeless appeal, budget-friendly, available in pre-finished steel or paint-grade composite. Perfect for Homewood colonials.

Adds historic charm to Forest Park cottages. Choose real wood or low-maintenance faux driftwood.

Modern glass panels flood Mountain Brook studios with daylight and pair well with minimalist façades.

A 1980s split-level needed a facelift. By swapping two faded fiberglass doors with black framed full-view glass, CountBricks boosted property value by $18,700—verified at closing. The AI estimate matched final invoicing within 1.8%, showcasing just how accurate real-time pricing can be.

• Choose the right R-value: Birmingham’s muggy summers and cool winters make an insulated door more than a luxury. Aim for R-12 or higher to keep garage temperatures stable and HVAC bills lower.
• Opt for nylon rollers: Metal rollers clatter on steel tracks, amplifying noise inside brick homes. Sealed nylon rollers cut sound levels by up to 75% and require less lubrication.
• Install a battery backup opener: Summer storms can knock out power. A UPS-enabled opener allows you to get the car out—even when the lights are off—without releasing the emergency cord.
• Upgrade weather seals: Ask CountBricks to install dual-fin bottom seals and side bulb gaskets. The modest upfront cost improves energy efficiency and blocks Birmingham’s notorious red clay dust.
• Enroll in CountBricks Care: Our subscription covers annual inspections, priority repair scheduling, and parts discounts—avoiding unexpected downtime and extending spring life beyond the typical 10,000 cycles.
