For many local homeowners, a modern security setup is no longer a luxury—it is a building essential. From southwest communities near Seven Oaks to vintage bungalows in Old Town Kern, CountBricks designs and installs home security systems Bakersfield residents can trust. Leveraging our AI-driven estimating platform, we deliver price certainty, seamless scheduling, and jobsite efficiency for every residential construction project.
A camera or alarm is only as reliable as the structure supporting it. When you work with CountBricks, our residential construction team evaluates framing, electrical capacity, and network routing before we recommend any hardware. By integrating security scopes early, we avoid costly drywall repairs, change orders, and décor disruptions.
Key construction considerations:
• Stud spacing for concealed conduit
• Attic or crawl-space access for low-voltage cable pulls
• Dedicated circuits and outlet locations for NVRs and Wi-Fi boosters
• Exterior weatherproofing for Bakersfield’s 100°+ summers
• Seismic anchoring to meet California residential codes

The Kern County sun can fry cheap plastic housings within a single summer. CountBricks specifies UV-stabilized, IP66-rated enclosures and installs soffit shades to extend lifespan. Local wind storms also kick up dust; we therefore seal cable entries with silicone grommets that comply with California Residential Code R302.5 for airtightness.
Traditional security quotes swing wildly—often ±25% by the time the final invoice lands. CountBricks’ neural pricing engine uses real-time material feeds from regional suppliers and up-to-the-minute prevailing wage data. Homeowners typically see variances below 3%, protecting your budget and allowing you to allocate savings toward landscaping or solar upgrades.

Many Bakersfield clients pair security installations with kitchen or patio remodels. Because CountBricks is a full-service residential construction partner, we coordinate trades so painters and drywall crews follow our cabling rough-in, eliminating rework.

Our job does not end at installation. CountBricks offers annual maintenance plans featuring remote firmware updates, lens cleaning, and battery swaps. Bakersfield dust can blur lenses quickly, so these checkups keep footage clear when you need it most.

A recent CountBricks client purchased a 3,400-sq-ft two-story in Bakersfield’s Seven Oaks neighborhood. They were midway through a kitchen renovation when package thefts spiked in the area. The homeowner feared opening walls twice, so they turned to CountBricks for an integrated solution.
• Existing drywall removed only in the kitchen, limiting access to other areas
• Tight timeline—cabinets were set to arrive within three weeks
• Need for 24/7 monitoring of side yard and detached garage
1. Our estimator joined a voice call, capturing exact camera viewpoints while the client walked the property.
2. Using CountBricks.com/takeoffs, we overlaid cable runs onto existing blueprints and exported material quantities in under ten minutes.
3. Low-profile conduit was routed through the open kitchen walls, then fished to upper floors via closet chases—saving drywall in finished areas.
4. We installed six 4K cameras, a smart doorbell, and a cellular-backed alarm panel, completing rough-in before cabinet delivery.
• Project delivered two days ahead of schedule
• Final invoice came in 2.7% under the locked estimate
• Client added a patio build-out, leveraging the same CountBricks crew already on site
• Schedule security cabling during any remodel demolition phase to minimize patching costs.
• Opt for metal camera housings; plastic yellows quickly in Kern County’s UV index.
• Invest in PoE switches—running power and data on one line reduces attic heat buildup.
• Add surge protection to exterior camera circuits; the valley’s summer lightning can fry unprotected boards.
• Enroll in a maintenance plan so dust and grit don’t compromise image clarity.
