Central Ohio experiences humid summers, lake-effect winters, and dramatic shoulder-season swings. Without the right insulation, your HVAC system works overtime and energy dollars drift straight through the attic. CountBricks brings a data-driven, voice-enabled process to residential insulation so Columbus homeowners secure comfort, efficiency, and long-term savings—without surprise costs.
• January lows routinely dip below 20°F, demanding high R-values in attics and walls
• Wind chills accelerate heat loss through unsealed bypasses
• Dew points above 65°F encourage moisture migration that can saturate fiberglass batts
• Air-conditioners fight both temperature and latent load, doubling energy spend when insulation is inadequate
• Recycled content and tight air pockets deliver robust thermal resistance
• Excellent noise reduction for bustling neighborhoods like Short North
• Budget-friendly and readily available in pre-cut batts
• Requires meticulous installation to prevent convection gaps
• Highest R-value per inch—ideal for finished attics with limited cavity depth
• Acts as an air and vapor barrier in one application
CountBricks Pro Insight: Hybrid assemblies—closed-cell spray foam against the roof deck topped with blown-in cellulose—often produce the best cost-to-performance ratio for Columbus residences.
Traditional estimating relies on clipboards and callbacks. CountBricks replaces them with live conversation, AI blueprint takeoffs, and real-time supplier feeds.
1. Speak with our AI estimator from your phone or jobsite laptop—describe square footage, existing conditions, and project goals.
2. Upload or snap a photo of the attic or wall blueprint. CountBricks instantly generates material quantities down to the last bag of cellulose.
3. Our platform pings Columbus suppliers for current pricing on insulation, vapor retarders, and air-sealing accessories.
4. Labor hours auto-populate based on task complexity, crew size, and local wage data.
5. Within minutes you receive a shareable PDF quote, branded with your logo and ready for homeowner signatures.
• Material choice: blown-in cellulose averages $1.25–$1.60 per square foot; closed-cell spray foam ranges $2.75–$4.25
• Access constraints: steep roof pitches or cramped knee walls can add 10–15% labor time
• Air-sealing scope: dense-pack cellulose paired with spray foam plugs may increase upfront cost but often halves heating bills
A 1,800-square-foot Clintonville Cape Cod upgraded from R-19 fiberglass to R-49 cellulose reduced natural-gas use by 28% the first winter. At current utility rates, the payback landed under four years. CountBricks analytics track predicted versus actual savings so homeowners see hard proof instead of marketing promises.
Franklin County enforces the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, requiring R-60 in attics for new builds. CountBricks embeds code tables in every estimate, flagging any shortfalls. We also surface active AEP Ohio and federal 25C tax incentives inside the quote so clients know exactly how much they’ll recoup.
• Dense-pack slopes at 3.5 lb/ft³ to eliminate settling risk
• Seal top plates with low-expansion foam before any insulation touches the cavity
• Maintain a minimum 1 inch air gap around recessed lighting rated IC because airflow still matters
CountBricks delivers insulation Columbus Ohio homeowners can trust—supported by precise AI estimating, transparent pricing, and certified crews. Visit CountBricks.com/services to schedule a 15-minute discovery call today.
An 1890s brick cottage in German Village had uneven R-11 fiberglass and soaring winter gas bills. The homeowner contacted CountBricks through our voice portal at CountBricks.com/consultation.
• Square footage scanned: 850 ft² pitched attic
• Material selected: 2 inches closed-cell spray foam plus 12 inches blown-in cellulose
• Total project time: 1.5 days crew labor
Within ten minutes of the initial call, our AI engine parsed the uploaded blueprint, calculated 37 bags of cellulose, 82 board-feet of spray foam, and 12 cans of sealant. Real-time supplier feeds confirmed stock, and the signed quote hit the client’s inbox before our truck left the yard.
• Post-install blower-door test showed a 31% reduction in air changes per hour
• Heating costs dropped $58 per month during the first winter
• Indoor humidity stabilized, protecting the home’s original heart-pine flooring
• Address mechanical ventilation early—tighter homes need fresh-air strategies
• Use baffles to preserve roof ventilation when increasing attic insulation depth
• Combine air-sealing and insulation in one contract to avoid trade overlap
• Leverage CountBricks’ instant rebate calculator to apply incentives before you sign
Smart insulation isn’t just about R-value; it’s about pairing data with craftsmanship. CountBricks delivers both—so your Columbus home feels right all year round. Visit CountBricks.com/portfolio for more real-world success stories.
