Nothing transforms the feel of a room faster than a fresh, perfectly level drywall ceiling. Yet for many homeowners and small builders, hanging ceiling sheetrock can be the most time-consuming and error-prone step in a remodel. At CountBricks, we combine AI-powered estimating with on-site expertise to deliver flawless finishes while protecting your schedule and budget.
The ceiling takes up the largest uninterrupted surface in most rooms. A small ripple or exposed joint line is visible from every angle—especially once paint and lighting reveal imperfections. Poorly installed ceiling board can lead to:
• Sagging panels that telegraph joist locations
• Cracks along seams from seasonal movement
• Visible screw pops that ruin a finished paint job
• Extra skim coats that add cost and delay turnover
Investing in precise hanging up-front eliminates costly rework later. That’s where CountBricks shines.
Before the first sheet goes up, CountBricks.com/services estimates the exact board count, fastener schedule, and joint compound volumes from your blueprints—or even from photos taken in the field. Our AI tools factor in drop beams, tray ceilings, and offsets so you purchase only what you need.
Typical Savings: 8-12 % less material waste compared to manual takeoffs.
1. Site scan and joist mapping with CountBricks laser layout tools

4. Board orientation perpendicular to framing for maximum strength
5. Fastening pattern verified by our mobile QA app before crews move on
6. Thermal camera sweep to confirm full adhesive contact
7. Cloud-synced progress photos for homeowner transparency via CountBricks.com/portfolio
• Snap chalk lines 16 in. apart for reference—never rely solely on joist sight lines
• Use back-blocking on any seam that doesn’t land on framing for a paint-ready surface
• Start in the room’s center and work outwards to keep edges square
• Install 5/8-in. Type X on ceilings under attic spaces to fight future sag and meet code
• Pre-fill tapered edges with setting compound to cut final finish coats in half
Missed Blocking: Our AI takeoff flags framing gaps so carpenters can add blocks before drywall delivery.
Uneven Joist Planes: Digital levelling identifies crowns; crews then shim low joists to create a flat plane.
Crew Coordination: Voice-activated time tracking inside the CountBricks app keeps board hangers, finishers, and painters informed in real time.

A 1940s bungalow near Orlando required 1,200 sq ft of new lid drywall after a full electrical rewire. CountBricks uploaded the architect’s hand sketch, generated an estimate in under five minutes, and delivered a crew the next morning. Using the adhesive-and-screw method above, we completed hanging in one day, saving the homeowner two full calendar days versus traditional schedules. Final inspection: zero visible seams under raking light.

Once the boards are up, the real artistry begins. CountBricks finishers follow a three-coat method verified by our AI scheduling engine to ensure optimal drying times and crew efficiency.
1. Setting Compound Bed: Fills tapered edges and embeds tape. Our crews use fast-setting compound that reaches 45-minute hardness, allowing a same-day second coat.
2. Fill Coat: Lightweight all-purpose mud spreads six inches past the initial bed, feathered to near zero for minimal sanding.
3. Skim Coat: Ultra-light topping compound covers the entire board face in high-gloss spaces like kitchens, delivering Level 5 perfection.
• Moisture Sensors: Embedded in the ceiling space to confirm safe drywall moisture content before coating
• Light Rake Test: Crews shine portable LEDs at 15° to reveal surface deviations earlier than traditional inspection
• Digital Punch Lists: Homeowners sign off on each finish stage via the CountBricks mobile portal, ensuring transparency
Because every fastener, bucket of mud, and labor minute is tracked in real time, CountBricks invoices reflect only what was actually used. Our residential clients report average overruns under 1.5 %, far below the industry norm.
