Boston’s breathtaking architecture comes with a catch: high heating and cooling bills. Drafty attics, ice dams, and uneven room temperatures plague many historic and newer homes alike. Proper insulation is the fastest, most affordable way to create comfort year-round while slashing energy costs. CountBricks pairs decades of residential construction know-how with real-time AI estimating to deliver insulation Boston families trust.
• Up to 40 % of a home’s heat loss escapes through an under-insulated attic
• Ice dams form when warm air melts roof snow, then refreezes at the eaves
• Drafts force HVAC systems to work harder, shortening equipment life
CountBricks technicians start every project with thermal imaging to pinpoint where heat is leaking before recommending the ideal R-value for your neighborhood’s climate zone.
• Cellulose offers higher recycled content and excellent sound dampening
• Fiberglass is light, reliable, and resists settling over decades
• Hybrid solutions combine spray foam air-sealing with loose-fill coverage
Our estimating engine instantly models each material inside CountBricks.com/services, comparing cost, performance, and payback so you can decide with confidence.
1. A quick voice conversation captures square footage, roof pitch, and access points
2. AI cross-checks local code and climate data for Boston’s Zone 5 requirements
3. The system outputs multiple R-value paths—good, better, best—and live pricing in minutes
1. On-site confirmation: A certified crew verifies dimensions captured during the AI call
2. Prep and protection: We seal can lights, duct chases, and knee walls to stop airflow
3. Blow-in placement: High-output machines achieve uniform density without gaps
4. Smart tags: Every project receives a digital blueprint stored in your CountBricks portal
5. Final QA: Post-install thermal imaging proves performance before we leave
• Home age: Older framing often means irregular cavities requiring more time
• Access: Narrow hatch or third-story walk-ups increase labor
• Existing material: Removing old vermiculite or damaged batts adds disposal fees
• Desired R-value: Each additional inch delivers returns but affects upfront price
Because CountBricks automates takeoffs, you receive a fixed-price proposal that won’t change mid-project.
• Routine attic checks ensure vents stay clear and insulation remains fluffy
• Local utility rebates may cover up to 75 % of project costs—our team pre-files paperwork for you
• Annual energy reports inside your CountBricks dashboard track savings versus baseline
Most Boston projects wrap up in a single day thanks to our streamlined logistics scheduling.
Crews use sealed hoses through gable windows whenever possible, minimizing indoor traffic and dust.

Historic row homes present unique insulation challenges—tight spaces, delicate plaster ceilings, and strict neighborhood guidelines. CountBricks recently completed a full attic retrofit on a 1890 South End brownstone while the family of four continued daily life undisturbed.
• Home size: 2,400 sq ft across four levels
• Pre-project attic temperature: 38 °F on a 15 °F winter day
• Target R-value: R-49 per Boston residential code
1. Voice walk-through captured measurements in 12 minutes
2. CountBricks AI flagged three structural beams requiring hand-placed batts
3. Instant material comparison saved the owner 14 % versus traditional quoting
• Post-install attic temperature rose to 57 °F under identical outdoor conditions
• Gas consumption dropped 24 % during the first billing cycle
• Payback period forecast: 2.8 years, confirmed in the CountBricks.com dashboard
“The team arrived at 8 a.m., finished by 3 p.m., and left our place spotless. Watching the live cost calculator adjust as we asked questions felt empowering. CountBricks made an intimidating upgrade simple.” — Jenna L., Boston MA
• Schedule work between heating spikes to maximize immediate savings
• Combine attic insulation with air-sealing for the biggest comfort leap
