When Portland homeowners decide it is time to upgrade the heart of their home, granite countertops rise to the top of the wish list. They add timeless beauty, unmatched durability, and resale value. But pricing a stone slab, calculating square footage, and coordinating install crews can quickly turn exciting plans into spreadsheet nightmares. Enter CountBricks, the AI-driven construction platform built to simplify residential projects from the first conversation to the final polish.
CountBricks combines real-time voice capture, instant material databases, and automated blueprint takeoffs to produce precise estimates while you talk. Say goodbye to back-and-forth calls and hello to a same-day proposal that includes:
• Live granite slab pricing from Portland’s top distributors
• Edge-profile options with labor costs baked in
• Sink and faucet cut-out allowances
• Removal and haul-off of existing surfaces
• Clear timelines and milestone payments
Because every line item is generated by CountBricks’ construction-trained AI, you see exactly where your money goes—no hidden mark-ups, no surprises.
Granite pricing shifts with quarry availability, shipping distance, and local demand. In Portland, residential homeowners can expect slab prices ranging from $50 to $85 per square foot for common colors, and $90 to $140 for exotic patterns. Labor, cut-outs, and sealing typically add $35 to $50 per square foot. CountBricks’ live database updates these numbers daily so your quote reflects today’s market, not last quarter’s average.
1. Slab Grade: Standard, premium, and exotic each carry different quarry fees.
2. Layout Waste: L-shaped kitchens and large islands may need additional slabs.
3. Edge Detail: A simple eased edge costs less than an ogee or waterfall return.
1. Voice Consultation: Talk through your vision while CountBricks logs dimensions and preferences in real time.
2. AI Estimate: Minutes after the call, you receive a line-item PDF plus a digital shopping cart of slab choices.
3. Digital Template: Our field tech uses a laser to capture precise cabinetry dimensions, syncing directly to CountBricks servers.
4. Fabrication & QA: Partner shops cut, edge, and seal your stone. Progress photos post automatically to your private CountBricks dashboard.
5. Installation Day: A certified crew removes old tops, sets new granite, attaches sinks, and finishes plumbing—all before cleanup.
6. Final Walk-Through: You verify fit and finish, sign off on the CountBricks mobile app, and receive your warranty certificate instantly.
How long does the process take?
Typical turnaround is two to three weeks. Fast-track options are available through CountBricks.com/services.
Can CountBricks match my existing backsplash?
Yes. Upload a photo during your consultation and our AI color-matches tiles or paint codes.
Is granite still trending?
Absolutely. While quartz has surged, granite remains a top choice for its natural variation and heat resistance—features Portland chefs adore.
• Heat Tolerance: Granite wins—place hot pots directly without fear.
• Color Consistency: Quartz offers uniformity; granite delivers unique veining.
• Maintenance: Both need sealing, but modern sealants make upkeep minimal.
• Resale Perception: Real stone continues to command premium appraisal points.

When the McKinley family purchased a 1920s bungalow in Portland’s Hawthorne district, their kitchen still had tiled countertops and outdated cabinetry. They contacted CountBricks for a full granite refresh.
• AI Estimate Time: 6 minutes from first call to signed quote
• Selected Stone: 2 cm Alaska White granite at $63 per square foot
• Total Surface: 58 square feet including a waterfall island end
• Turnaround: 18 calendar days start to finish
• Cost Savings: 11% lower than the next best manual quote, verified by the homeowner
• Uneven Historic Walls – Our laser template revealed a 3⁄8-inch bow. Fabrication data auto-adjusted the backsplash height, eliminating on-site shimming.
• Tight Alley Access – CountBricks scheduled a narrow-crated delivery, protecting the slab and the homeowner’s garden gate.
The McKinleys gained a luminous, durable workspace that boosted property value by an estimated $14,000. Most importantly, they praised the single-dashboard communication: “Every update popped into our phone. We never wondered what came next.”
• Request digital slab images early to visualize seam locations.
• Opt for a 15-year sealer; the marginal cost beats annual DIY applications.
• Consider overhang support. Portland’s seismic activity makes hidden steel brackets a wise investment.
• Schedule installs Tuesday through Thursday—stone yards restock Monday, ensuring freshest selection.
