CountBricks: Install Metal Siding Experts for Homes

Transform Your Home: Install Metal Siding with CountBricks

For construction professionals, metal siding is a top choice due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. Installation costs range from $7 to $14 per square foot, depending on material and complexity. CountBricks combines AI estimating with expert crews to streamline the process, making it efficient and cost-effective.

Why Metal Siding Is Surging in Residential Construction

• Superior longevity: 40–70-year life expectancy outperforms vinyl and fiber-cement.
• Energy efficiency: Reflective coatings reduce cooling loads by up to 20% in warm climates.
• Design freedom: From rustic corrugated panels to sleek standing-seam profiles, professionals can match any architectural style.
• Sustainability: Up to 35% recycled content and 100% recyclability at end of life.

The CountBricks Advantage

CountBricks integrates AI at every project touchpoint:

• Voice-driven estimates: Generate material lists, labor hours, and real-time costs in minutes.
• Instant blueprint takeoffs: Automatically calculate wall square footage, trim lengths, and fastener counts.
• One-click quote documents: Branded proposals with detailed line items and optional upgrades.
• Live price feeds: Cost materials against current regional supplier data to avoid price escalation.

Step-by-Step: How We Install Metal Siding

1. Digital Pre-Construction

Our estimator captures project details—wall dimensions, window counts, trim style—and renders a 3D elevation and a shareable estimate.

2. Material Selection & Procurement

• Corrugated panels for barn-house aesthetics
• Standing-seam for modern lines and hidden fasteners
• Shingle-style steel for traditional neighborhoods

Color-fast finishes and insulation options are priced instantly, locking quantities with local suppliers to eliminate waste.

3. Site Preparation

• Remove old cladding and check sheathing.
• Install rain-screen battens for airflow where code requires.
• Apply self-adhered flashing around penetrations.

4. Panel Installation

• Starter tracks are laser-leveled to avoid staircase effect.
• Panels are fastened with stainless screws to prevent corrosion.
• Hidden clip systems allow for thermal movement, protecting paint finish.

5. Trim, Detail, and Quality Assurance

Corner caps, J-channels, and drip flashings are CNC-folded to accuracy. A supervisor inspects fastening patterns, sealant beads, and color consistency.

6. Final Walk-Through & Digital Closeout

Professionals receive a cloud folder with warranties, maintenance tips, and drone photos for records.

Cost Factors to Watch

• Panel gauge: 26-gauge steel costs less but dents easier than 24-gauge.
• Finish upgrade: PVDF paint adds 10–12% but doubles fade resistance.
• Wall complexity: Multiple gables and bump-outs increase cut waste and labor hours.
• Access: Tight lot lines may require compact lifts or staging, adding rental fees.

Case Study: From Weather-Beaten Wood to Metal Masterpiece

When the Perry family’s 1980s cedar siding began to warp and peel, they contacted CountBricks for options. Within a single on-site voice session, our estimator captured wall dimensions, noted two chimney chases, and flagged a shaded north façade prone to moisture.

AI-Driven Plan

• The CountBricks platform generated a 34-page report detailing labor phases, panel counts, trim accessories, and real-time supplier pricing.
• A 3D rendering allowed the Perrys to visualize charcoal standing-seam versus silver corrugated without added design fees.

Execution Highlights

• Just-in-time delivery sequenced panels by elevation, reducing ground-level handling and jobsite clutter.
• Our crew installed 3,150 sq ft of 24-gauge steel in six days, even with two rain delays, thanks to pre-slotted fastening guides.
• Final punch-list items were documented in the CountBricks app, complete with timestamped photos and homeowner sign-off.

Results

• 18% lower total cost versus the Perrys’ initial fiber-cement quote.
• Annual energy savings projected at $410 due to solar-reflective coating.
• Zero callbacks after one year—confirmed through CountBricks’ automated warranty check-in.
