When Western New York homeowners picture a refreshed bathroom, a sun-filled patio, or a sleek interior office, glass doors top the wish list.

Extreme Temperature Swings
Buffalo sees frigid lake-effect winters and hot, humid summers. Frames must expand and contract without compromising seals. CountBricks sources thermally broken aluminum and uPVC frames rated for our climate, automatically recommending SKUs inside your AI estimate.
Historic Housing Stock
Many city homes predate 1940. Out-of-square openings and thick plaster walls require custom measurements. CountBricks site technicians capture laser-accurate dimensions, feed them into the platform, and generate precision fabrication specs in minutes.
Permit Nuances

When the Romano family in North Buffalo noticed frost forming on their 1990s patio door, they booked a voice consultation through CountBricks.com. In 27 minutes, our estimator built a detailed scope that compared standard double-pane glass to a triple-pane, low-E upgrade. The AI engine highlighted a projected 19% heating-cost reduction—information automatically pulled from local utility averages.
• Laser scans confirmed the masonry opening was 3/8″ out of square. The platform flagged the discrepancy and recommended a compensating sill adapter, avoiding onsite guesswork.
• Material pricing updated twice before signing, ultimately saving the Romanos $126 when tempered glass hit a short-term supplier discount.
• Installation day averaged 6.3 labor hours, exactly matching the predictive model in the estimate—proof that CountBricks productivity data reflects real Buffalo job sites.
• Indoor surface temperature near the door rose from 54°F to 66°F during a January cold snap.
• Blower-door testing showed a 12% reduction in air infiltration.
• Zillow estimates placed the home’s value increase at nearly double the project cost.
• Accurate forecasting lets you choose performance upgrades with measurable ROI
• Data-driven labor models prevent unpleasant surprise charges
• End-to-end visibility builds trust and keeps timelines honest
