Knoxville’s hot, humid summers and crisp mountain winters test a home’s thermal envelope every day. If insulation is thin, poorly installed, or missing in key spots, conditioned air slips away, moisture intrudes, and energy bills soar. CountBricks tackles insulation installation Knoxville projects with the same precision we bring to full remodels and new builds, because we know comfort starts in the walls, attic, and crawl-space.
AI-Driven Accuracy
CountBricks voice-enabled software captures on-site conversations, converts them to detailed takeoffs, and matches real-time material pricing. What once took hours with a clipboard now takes minutes.
Local Material Intelligence
Our platform tracks Knoxville suppliers, seasonal stock levels, and freight surcharges, ensuring budgets reflect what is actually on the shelf today.
Certified Install Crews
Every CountBricks installer is trained on current International Residential Code requirements, proper vapor barrier placement, and blower-door verification.
• Fiberglass batts – cost-effective for open walls and attics
• Blown-in cellulose – excellent for retrofits and irregular cavities
• Closed-cell spray foam – high R-value plus air and moisture sealing
• Hybrid systems – spray foam at the roof deck, fiberglass in the rafters for balanced performance
1. Attic floor: Heat rises, so an under-insulated attic drives winter losses.
2. Rim joist: The band around the foundation is a notorious leak path.
3. Knee walls: Many older Knoxville homes have bonus-room knee walls open to scorching attics.
4. HVAC chases: Unsealed ducts surrounded by cold air undercut system efficiency.
1. Voice Walkthrough – Our project lead records a real-time site discussion, capturing square footage, joist spacing, and obstructions.
2. AI Takeoff – Measurements feed directly into CountBricks.com/services for instant board-foot and bag counts.
3. Cost Calibration – The platform pings Knoxville distributors for up-to-the-minute pricing and availability.
4. Client-Ready Quote – A branded PDF arrives in the homeowner’s inbox before we leave the driveway.
5. Installation & QA – Certified crews install, then run blower-door and infrared scans to verify target R-values.
6. Final Invoice – Labor hours and materials sync automatically, so final billing matches the agreed estimate.
• 15-30 % lower heating and cooling bills within the first year
• Quieter interiors by dampening traffic and rain noise
• Better indoor air quality when moisture is managed at the envelope
• Increased resale value—energy-efficient homes sell faster in Knoxville’s competitive market
Historic Craftsman in Old North Knoxville
3,000 sq ft attic retrofit with blown-in cellulose and spray-foamed rim joists. Total cost: $6,850. Blower-door test showed a 37 % air-leak reduction.
New-Build in Hardin Valley
Entire envelope insulated with a hybrid system—2 in of closed-cell foam plus R-19 fiberglass batts. Total cost: $14,200. HERS rating improved to 56.
• Record site notes in one continuous voice session to avoid fragmented line items
• Tag each room name aloud—“Master bedroom exterior wall”—so AI mapping is crystal clear
• Use the in-app photo capture for tricky transitions; the AI links images to material call-outs automatically
How long does a typical attic job take? Most 1,200 sq ft attics are completed in one day, including cleanup and blower-door testing.
Will spray foam void my roof shingle warranty? No. We install foam to the roof deck using manufacturer-approved temperatures and venting protocols.
Can CountBricks help me qualify for TVA incentives? Yes. Our detailed invoices and test reports satisfy local energy-rebate documentation.

A Fountain City homeowner contacted CountBricks after winter heating bills topped $400. During the voice-guided walkthrough, our project lead noted 1,400 sq ft of attic space, minimal existing batts, and several recessed light fixtures acting as thermal chimneys.
1. AI Takeoff predicted 55 bags of cellulose plus six air-tight can-light covers.
2. Real-time pricing locked in a materials budget of $1,720—10 % lower than the client’s previous quote.
3. Installation took six hours. Our crew air-sealed top plates, installed the covers, and blew cellulose to R-49.
4. Post-work blower-door showed ACH 50 dropped from 9.4 to 5.6, translating to an estimated $730 annual energy saving.
• Cathedral ceilings where vented cavities are impractical
• Rim joists vulnerable to bulk water intrusion
• Mixed-use spaces requiring both insulation and structural racking strength
CountBricks partners with local lenders to offer 12-month zero-interest plans on projects over $5,000. We also supply TVA rebate forms pre-filled with your project data, eliminating paperwork headaches.
