Few upgrades brighten a room like a well-proportioned bay window. Extra glass invites the Texas sun, the angled walls add square footage, and the exterior façade gains character that standard flat windows simply cannot match. Yet homeowners often postpone the project, unsure of cost, timeline, and structural requirements. That is where CountBricks steps in.
When you say, “I want to install a bay window in my living room,” CountBricks listens—literally. Our AI captures your conversation, converts it to a scoped task list, and generates:
• Real-time material pricing pulled from local Dallas suppliers
• Labor hours based on historical residential installs
• A detailed line-item estimate ready for immediate approval

1. Load-bearing walls: The existing opening must accommodate added weight. CountBricks engineers calculate header sizes to meet IRC requirements.
2. Foundation tie-in: Bay windows often need a small footing or knee wall. Our blueprint takeoff tool pinpoints exact dimensions before the first shovel hits soil.
3. Weatherproofing: Dallas experiences wind-driven rain. CountBricks specifies flashing tape, pan membranes, and silicone types proven for Gulf-region storms.
• Vinyl: Affordable, energy-efficient, low maintenance
• Fiberglass: High R-value, resists thermal expansion—ideal for Texas heat
• Wood-clad: Classic curb appeal, customizable stains, interior warmth
CountBricks quoting software shows side-by-side price, U-factor, and color selections so homeowners see value beyond sticker cost.
1. Digital Blueprint Takeoff: Upload plans or snap smartphone photos. AI outlines framing and siding removal areas.

5. Exterior Finish: Matching brick, fiber-cement, or stucco completes the façade.
6. Interior Trim & Paint: Seat boards, casing, and caulk deliver a furniture-quality look.
