Few exterior systems are more critical to a home in Montgomery than properly sized and installed gutters. From late-summer thunderstorms to winter cold snaps, Central Alabama’s climate delivers intense rainfall that can saturate soil, erode foundations, and invite mold if runoff is not controlled. CountBricks brings a data-driven approach to gutter projects, allowing local homeowners and contractors to see real-time materials pricing, labor hours, and schedule impacts before the first downspout is hung.
• Heavy red-clay sediment that clogs open troughs
• Pine needles from longleaf and loblolly pines creating dams
• Wind-driven rain that overshoots shallow 4-inch systems
• Sun-bleached vinyl gutters warping after a few seasons
• Improper slope causing standing water and mosquito breeding
AI-Fast Estimating: Our voice-activated platform captures onsite measurements, roofline photos, and homeowner preferences, then instantly builds an itemized proposal. You’ll see aluminum, steel, and copper pricing pulled from local suppliers inside CountBricks.com/services with zero guesswork.
Blueprint Takeoffs: Import a PDF or CAD roof plan into CountBricks and receive linear footage, downspout counts, and fascia board conditions in minutes—perfect for remodelers bidding new subdivisions or historic restorations.
Smart Material Recommendations: For Montgomery’s heavy rainfall, CountBricks flags 6-inch K-style aluminum as the baseline, then compares lifetime cost of seamless steel or half-round copper for high-end builds.
Scheduled Maintenance Reminders: Once a project is closed, homeowners receive automated seasonal reminders to clean or flush gutters. Contractors can upsell maintenance plans directly through their CountBricks dashboard.
