Residential builders and remodel-minded homeowners are gravitating toward metal cladding for one simple reason: value. From hurricane-rated durability to striking curb appeal, metal siding delivers a lifetime of low-maintenance performance. At CountBricks, we combine cutting-edge AI estimating with seasoned field crews to make the decision to install metal siding easier, faster, and more affordable than ever before.
• Superior longevity: 40–70-year life expectancy outperforms vinyl and fiber-cement.
• Energy efficiency: Reflective coatings slash cooling loads by up to 20 % in warm climates.
• Design freedom: From rustic corrugated panels to sleek standing-seam profiles, homeowners can match any architectural style.
• Sustainability: Up to 35 % recycled content and 100 % recyclability at end of life.
Unlike traditional contractors, CountBricks integrates AI at every project touchpoint:
• Voice-driven estimates: Talk through scope on site or via video call. Our platform generates material lists, labor hours, and real-time costs in minutes.
• Instant blueprint takeoffs: Upload PDFs, and our computer-vision engine pinpoints wall square footage, trim lengths, and fastener counts automatically.
• One-click quote documents: Branded proposals with detailed line items and optional upgrades are ready to email before you leave the driveway.
• Live price feeds: Steel coil, furring strips, housewrap, and even lift rentals are costed against current regional supplier data so you never eat price escalation.
Our estimator walks you through a voice session while capturing project details—wall dimensions, window counts, trim style. CountBricks.com/services then renders a 3D elevation and a shareable estimate.
• Corrugated panels for barn-house aesthetics
• Standing-seam for modern lines and hidden fasteners
• Shingle-style steel for traditional neighborhoods
Color-fast Kynar finishes and foam-backed insulation options are priced instantly. We lock quantities with local suppliers, eliminating over-ordering waste.
1. Remove old cladding and check sheathing.
2. Install rain-screen battens for airflow where code requires.
3. Apply self-adhered flashing around penetrations, verified via our CountBricks mobile checklist.
• Starter tracks are laser-leveled to avoid staircase effect.
• Panels are fastened with stainless screws to prevent bi-metal corrosion.
• Hidden clip systems allow for thermal movement, protecting paint finish.
Corner caps, J-channels, and drip flashings are CNC-folded to ¼-inch accuracy in our shop. A CountBricks supervisor inspects fastening patterns, sealant beads, and color consistency before signing off in the app.
Homeowners receive a cloud folder with warranties, maintenance tips, and drone photos for insurance records.
• Panel gauge: 26-gauge steel costs less upfront 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.
On a recent 2,800 sq ft colonial in Birmingham, CountBricks’ digital takeoff reduced material overage from the regional average of 12 % to just 3 %. That translated to $1,740 saved before labor even began. Explore more success stories at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
Q: Will metal siding make my home louder in rain?
A: Installed over sheathing and housewrap, panel resonance is virtually silent—often quieter than vinyl.
Q: Can metal siding rust?
A: Galvalume core and baked-on coatings provide multi-decade corrosion resistance, even in coastal zones.
Q: How long does installation take?
A: A typical 2,500 sq ft single-story home is completed in 5–7 working days using a three-person CountBricks crew.

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.
1. The CountBricks platform generated a 34-page report detailing labor phases, panel counts, trim accessories, and real-time supplier pricing.
2. A 3D rendering allowed the Perrys to visualize charcoal standing-seam versus silver corrugated without added design fees.
• 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 produced in our fabrication shop.
• Final punch-list items were documented in the CountBricks app, complete with timestamped photos and homeowner sign-off.
• 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.
