Helena homeowners face dramatic temperature swings—from sub-zero blizzards to scorching summer highs. Without high-performance insulation, energy bills skyrocket and indoor comfort disappears. CountBricks delivers tailored insulation Helena MT solutions that keep heat where it belongs, cut utility costs, and protect the long-term value of every home we touch.
• Winter lows regularly dip below 0 °F, demanding R-Values far above national averages
• Low humidity accelerates air leakage through older framing cavities
• Intense summer sun drives attic temperatures above 140 °F, stressing HVAC systems
Effective insulation isn’t optional here—it’s the core of whole-house performance.
Traditional contractors still rely on hand measurements and guesswork. CountBricks replaces uncertainty with data.
1. Voice-driven on-site capture streams dimensions directly into our cloud platform
2. AI blueprint takeoffs calculate square footage and depth to the ounce of cellulose or batts required
3. Real-time material pricing pairs with local labor rates to build instant, transparent estimates
4. The final proposal and invoice generate automatically, branded for your project and sent within minutes
Homeowners know exactly what they’re paying for; project managers see profit margins before committing a crew. Explore the workflow at CountBricks.com/services.
Blown-In Cellulose
• Ideal for retrofits and small cavities without disturbing finished surfaces
• Provides superior air sealing due to dense-pack application
• Eco-friendly content (up to 85 % recycled paper)
Fiberglass Batts
• Cost-effective for new framing during additions or full gut remodels
• Quick installation reduces labor hours when access is open
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
• Highest R-Value per inch—perfect for low-profile roof assemblies
• Adds structural rigidity and vapor barrier in one step
CountBricks technicians are certified across all three systems, allowing us to specify a hybrid package tuned for Helena’s climate zone 6B. Schedule a consultation at CountBricks.com/consultation.
Montana’s average residential electricity rate hovers around 11 ¢/kWh, but heating loads account for up to 60 % of annual usage. Upgrading attic insulation from R-19 to R-49 can:
• Cut heating and cooling costs by 15-20 % the first year
• Reduce carbon footprint by roughly 1,400 lbs of CO₂ annually
• Extend HVAC life by lowering runtime cycles
1. Site Assessment – Technician walks the home with a tablet, capturing measurements via voice and LiDAR
2. Instant Estimate – AI engine calculates material volumes, labor hours, and presents options side by side
3. Material Logistics – Real-time link to regional suppliers guarantees cellulose or batts arrive just in time
4. Professional Installation – OSHA-certified crew installs to RESNET standards, documenting progress in the CountBricks app
5. Verification & Warranty – Post-installation blower-door test confirms air tightness; homeowners receive a digital warranty packet stored in their CountBricks portal
CountBricks has insulated more than 220 residences across Lewis and Clark County. From century-old Craftsman bungalows in the South-Central district to modern ranches in the North Valley, our crews understand Helena’s diverse housing stock. View project highlights at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Myth: “More inches always equals better performance.” Reality: Without proper air sealing, extra depth delivers diminishing returns.
• Myth: “Spray foam traps moisture.” Reality: Closed-cell foam actually resists vapor; moisture problems stem from poor ventilation design.
• Myth: “DIY blown-in saves money.” Reality: Rental machines rarely achieve the dense-pack required, leading to settling gaps and higher lifetime costs.
Typical Helena attic upgrade (1,200 ft² to R-49 cellulose) runs $2.60-$3.10 per ft² installed, with a simple payback of 3-4 heating seasons. CountBricks financing partners offer 0 % interest for 12 months to qualifying homeowners—ask our team for details.
• Clear access to attic hatch or crawlspace
• Mark recessed lighting fixtures that need IC-rated covers
• Remove fragile items from walls—dense-pack vibrations can travel
CountBricks provides thermal imaging every second year post-install at no cost. If settling exceeds 3 %, we top up insulation under warranty—no homeowner ever pays twice.

When the Phillips family bought their 1910 Victorian on Last Chance Gulch, they adored the historic woodwork—but not the $480 winter heating bills. CountBricks was called in to design an insulation overhaul without disturbing the home’s plaster walls.
1. Our technician captured all 3,400 ft² of wall cavity dimensions using voice commands synced to the CountBricks platform.
2. The software modeled heat-loss hotspots at each gable and turret, recommending dense-pack cellulose for walls and R-60 blown-in for the walk-up attic.
• Crews drilled discreet 2-inch holes behind baseboards, pumping cellulose at 3.5 lbs/ft³ to eliminate air pockets
• A portable vacuum reclaimed dust in real time, keeping heritage trim spotless
• Smart thermostats, enrolled through CountBricks.com/services, allowed the family to track savings instantly
• 31 % reduction in natural gas usage during the first full winter
• Noise levels from downtown traffic dropped by 7 dB
• Payback achieved in 2.8 years—beating the projected 3.3-year model thanks to a colder-than-average season
• Always verify knob-and-tube wiring has been decommissioned before dense packing
• Use infrared scans after the first fill course to confirm complete wall coverage
• Opt for vapor-permeable cellulose to let old wood framing breathe
Whether you own a heritage treasure downtown or a new build in the valley, CountBricks tailors insulation Helena MT solutions to your footprint and budget. Book a walk-through today at CountBricks.com/consultation and start measuring comfort in degrees—and dollars—saved.
