The shift from vinyl or wood cladding to metal panels is one of the fastest-growing trends in residential construction—and for good reason. When you install metal siding you gain a façade that resists fire, wind, pests, and moisture while delivering ultra-low maintenance for decades. Homeowners love the contemporary curb appeal; builders appreciate fewer callbacks; and remodelers enjoy the streamlined installation workflow. At every stage, CountBricks brings clarity, accuracy, and AI-powered efficiency to the process.
Traditional estimating can take hours of spreadsheet shuffling and supplier phone calls. CountBricks compresses that workflow into minutes. Our cloud platform captures real-time voice notes while you walk the job site, translates them into detailed line items, and automatically applies up-to-date material and labor rates for your region. The result is a reliable, shareable estimate you can present to the homeowner before leaving the driveway.

1. Assessment & Prep
Our project manager verifies wall plumb, flashing integrity, and sheathing condition. Any substrate repairs are documented in the updated CountBricks job file.
2. Moisture Barrier & Strapping
A high-perm weather-resistive barrier is installed, followed by vertical furring strips to create a ventilated rain screen—critical for residential energy code compliance.
3. Panel Layout & Ordering
The CountBricks app arranges panel runs, minimizing waste. It then transmits the cut list directly to partnered fabricators so panels arrive numbered and ready to hang.
4. Fastening & Flashing
Hidden-fastener systems are used wherever possible to avoid thermal bridging. Edge, window, and door flashings are pre-bent off-site for a cleaner look and faster install.
5. Final QA & Cleanup
A CountBricks superintendent performs a 50-point inspection, uploads photos to the client portal, and issues the completion certificate that triggers automated invoicing.
• 26-Gauge Galvanized Steel: Most popular choice for strength and cost balance
• Aluminum: Lightweight, salt-spray resistant, ideal for coastal builds
• Zinc or Core-Tin Alloys: Premium patina effect for high-end custom homes
Our AI estimator provides real-time cost deltas so owners can decide with confidence.
• Oil-Canning: We specify panel widths and stiffening ribs that reduce visual waviness on larger wall expanses.
• Thermal Movement: Floating clip systems accommodate seasonal expansion without deforming seams.
• Mixed-Material Transitions: Integrated flashing profiles allow clean tie-ins with stone, wood, or stucco accents.
• Plan panel orientation around prevailing wind to limit water intrusion at seams
• Pre-drill starter strips to maintain perfectly level first courses
• Use butyl-based sealants that remain flexible in extreme cold
