Replacing or adding the passage door that connects your garage to the main living space is a small project with big payoffs. Improved security, tighter energy performance, and a polished look all start with one job: install garage entry door. CountBricks brings AI-powered estimating, voice-activated field data, and veteran craftspeople to every residential project, making sure your new door fits perfectly—both in the wall and in your budget.
• Instant voice capture of site dimensions, framing conditions, and material preferences
• Real-time cost database synced to regional pricing to lock in accurate numbers
• Automated quote documents branded with your logo and ready for e-signature in minutes
• Seamless hand-off from estimate to work order so nothing gets lost between sales and production
1. Steel: Highest security rating and excellent fire resistance. A popular choice when durability tops the list.
2. Fiberglass: Mimics wood grain while resisting moisture and dents—a solid middle-weight option.
3. Solid Core Wood: Unmatched warmth and authenticity, though it demands ongoing maintenance.
CountBricks consultants walk you through the pros, cons, and price points inside the CountBricks.com/services portal so you can order with confidence.
• Confirm code compliance for fire separation between garage and living space
• Verify rough opening width, height, and plumb using a laser level
• Evaluate threshold height to maintain barrier-free access where required
• Review weather-stripping condition and decide if upgraded seals are needed
• Choose hardware finish to coordinate with interior and garage décor
1. Remove Old Unit: CountBricks carpenters score paint lines, pull hinge pins, and demo without damaging adjacent drywall.
2. Prepare Rough Opening: We plane or shim framing to achieve true plumb and square—crucial for long-term door operation.
3. Flash and Seal: High-stretch flashing tape and CountBricks-specified foam keep out moisture and exhaust fumes.
4. Set the Door: Using three-way shims, the team secures the jamb with structural screws driven into studs, not just drywall.
5. Insulate Gaps: Closed-cell foam is applied sparingly to prevent jamb bowing, followed by fire-rated caulk at top and sides.
6. Install Hardware: Hinges, knob or lever set, strike plate, and deadbolt are aligned for a smooth latch feel.
7. Test & Adjust: Final checks for swing clearance, weather-strip compression, and self-closing spring tension where codes demand.
Many DIY calculators miss details that matter. CountBricks AI captures them automatically:
• Door slab and jamb type
• Demolition disposal fees
• Trim replacement or re-use
• Painting or factory finish selections
• Permit requirements in your municipality
Because the software refreshes material prices daily, the number you see on your quote mirrors what our suppliers will invoice tomorrow—no surprise change orders.
• 20-minute fire rating is mandatory in most jurisdictions—CountBricks sources labels to prove compliance
• Self-closing hinges prevent exhaust fumes from entering living areas
• Proper threshold height maintains the integrity of the garage slab’s vapor barrier
• Carbon monoxide detectors are recommended in tandem with any garage door project; we can add them to your scope with a voice command inside the CountBricks app
1. Voice consultation & measurement: 20 minutes
2. AI-generated quote: 5 minutes
3. Material procurement: 2–5 business days (depends on door model)
4. On-site installation: 4–6 hours
5. Punch-list & quality audit: same day
Everything is documented in your CountBricks client dashboard, including photos, invoices, and warranty info.
• Low-VOC foams and caulks are standard on every CountBricks project
• Old door units are diverted to metal and wood recycling streams when feasible
• Optional insulated cores improve household energy performance, cutting heating costs
Our technicians follow a 42-point completion checklist that covers alignment, weathering, and security. Every hinge and screw is torqued to spec.

Homeowners get a two-year workmanship warranty backed by our dedicated residential support team.
• Repaint or re-seal the door every three to five years to extend finish life
• Lubricate hinges with a graphite-based product each spring
• Check threshold screws annually; garage humidity cycles can loosen fasteners

When the Thompson family requested a secure, insulated passage door between their attached garage and kitchen, they were worried about drafts and fumes sneaking into the living space. Using the CountBricks voice-capture tool, our estimator documented rough opening dimensions, noted the uneven concrete slab, and logged the homeowner’s desire for a satin-nickel finish—all in under three minutes.
• The AI engine priced a 20-minute fire-rated steel door with an R-10 insulated core and a self-closing hinge set. Total quote time: 4.6 minutes.
• Procurement synced with a local supplier that afternoon, locking in material pricing before a weekly steel surcharge hit the market.
• Installation day revealed a hidden plumbing vent in the adjacent stud bay. Because every CountBricks crew receives the full digital plan set on their tablets, the lead carpenter flagged the obstruction, updated the scope, and re-synced costs through the app while on site—no delays, no paper forms.
1. Air-leak testing after install showed a 28 % reduction in infiltration between the garage and conditioned space.
2. The self-closer met local code requirements and satisfied the Thompsons’ safety concerns for their toddler.
3. Project duration, from first call to final punch-list sign-off, was eight calendar days.
• Precise shimming and quality weather-stripping matter more than the door’s advertised R-value.
• Fire labels must remain visible after painting—our crew photographed and archived the label for future inspectors.
• Voice-activated change orders eliminate miscommunication between field and office.
