When temperatures swing in Texas and utility bills spike, upgrading to double pane windows is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve comfort and cut energy costs. CountBricks combines AI-powered estimating, real-time material pricing, and seasoned residential crews to make the process faster, clearer, and more affordable than ever.
Double pane units sandwich an insulating gas layer—usually argon—between two sheets of low-E coated glass. That sealed pocket reduces heat transfer, muffles street noise, and prevents condensation that can damage trim. According to field data collected by CountBricks projects, homeowners typically see utility savings of 15-25 % within the first year after installation.

4. Review the live materials/labor quote and project schedule generated in under two minutes.
5. Approve digitally; the job is auto-assigned to the next available certified crew.
• Vinyl frames: Cost-effective, low maintenance, excellent thermal performance.
• Fiberglass frames: Superior strength for large openings, paintable to match any façade.
• Composite frames: Blend of wood fiber and polymers for classic aesthetics with modern durability.
• Low-E 366 glass: Triple silver coating for maximum heat rejection in hot climates.
Earlier communication means smoother installs. CountBricks sends a digital prep guide the moment you sign. Key homeowner tasks include:
• Clear 3 ft around each window—move furniture, plants, window treatments.
• Disable alarm sensors on opening windows the morning of install.
• Keep pets secured and children clear of work areas.
• Reserve driveway space for our disposal trailer so old units can be removed quickly.
• Protective floor coverings and dust barriers
• Removal of existing sashes and frames
• Inspection and repair of rough openings
• Flashing tape and low-expansion foam insulation
• Interior/exterior trim reinstallation or replacement
• Thorough site clean-up and debris hauling
CountBricks AI considers dozens of variables while generating your estimate:
• Window size and shape: Custom arches or bays require additional fabrication and labor.
• Frame material: Vinyl is least expensive; composite or clad wood sit at the premium tier.
• Installation method: Full-frame replacement versus pocket fit can alter labor hours by up to 30 %.
• Accessibility: Second-story or ladder work adds time and safety equipment costs.
• Finish carpentry: New interior casing or exterior trim upgrades affect the final total.
• Standard vinyl double pane, pocket fit: $550 – $700 per opening installed
• Premium composite, full-frame replacement: $900 – $1,250 per opening installed
• Whole-house packages (15-20 windows): Typical project total $10k – $18k, depending on selections
Remember, CountBricks locks in material pricing at the moment you approve the quote—no mid-project surprises.

• Replace all south- and west-facing windows first for greatest heat-gain reduction.

• Combine window upgrade with attic insulation for a double-digit efficiency bump.
• Keep original screens stored; swap seasonally to extend product life.
• Schedule installs during off-peak months (January-February) for faster crew availability.

A recent CountBricks project in Plano showcases how our platform streamlines large-scale residential retrofits. The homeowner, tired of unpredictable utility bills, used the CountBricks voice estimator to scope 24 aging aluminum single-pane units. Within three minutes, the system produced a detailed quote—$14,680 for premium vinyl double pane, full-frame replacement, including disposal and trim upgrades.
• Crew scheduling: AI matched the project to a three-person team with immediate availability, reducing lead time to four days.
• Material logistics: Windows, flashing, and foam arrived on a timed delivery using CountBricks supply chain integrations, eliminating on-site storage clutter.
• Two-day install: Day one covered ground-floor openings and interior trim paint. Day two focused on second-story units, punch-list review, and debris haul-away.
• 22 % drop in the client’s first post-install electric bill
• Interior noise reduction measured at 6 dB, verified by a CountBricks technician
• Project came in $430 under the original estimate due to material discounts automatically applied at purchase
