Kitchen cabinets are the backbone of every Birmingham, AL kitchen remodel. They define storage capacity, influence workflow, and set the visual tone of the entire living space. When local homeowners decide to refresh or fully renovate, cabinets often account for 25-35 percent of the total kitchen budget—so accuracy in estimating and scheduling is critical. That’s where CountBricks transforms traditional guesswork into data-driven confidence.
The Magic City blends historic Tudors, post-war ranch homes, and new infill construction. Each housing era presents different cabinet requirements—face-frame units for 1920s craftsmen, full-overlay Euro styles for contemporary builds, or custom inserts for tight galley kitchens in Crestwood bungalows. Local demand trends show:
• A steady rise in shaker-style white cabinets paired with brass pulls
• Growing interest in two-tone islands featuring walnut or navy finishes
• Increased calls for smart corner storage to maximize small footprints
• Homeowners expecting precise, line-item quotes before signing a contract
1. Material grade: stock, semi-custom, or fully custom hardwoods dramatically shift price.
2. Finish complexity: factory-baked enamel costs less than site-finished staining.
3. Hardware quality: soft-close, full-extension glides add 10-15 percent.
4. Layout changes: moving plumbing or electrical behind cabinets increases labor hours.
5. Delivery lead times: specialty doors may extend the schedule by 4–6 weeks.
CountBricks replaces multiple site visits and spreadsheet juggling with a single, real-time voice call.

• Linear footage of wall and base runs

• Trim details, crown molding, and toe-kick specs

Architects and builders often supply PDF plans instead of physical spaces. Upload drawings to CountBricks Takeoff; our AI detects cabinet symbols, tallies linear feet, and flags appliance panels automatically. You’ll know instantly whether the planned pantry run fits the wall or if a filler panel is required.
• Order door samples early to verify color in local humidity conditions
• Consider Red Oak or Maple cores—woods that acclimate well to Alabama’s climate
• Allow 1 ½ inches clearance at ceiling for easy crown installation in older homes
• Upgrade to plywood boxes for flood-prone basements converted into garden-level kitchens
• Use finger-pull rails to modernize historic homes without drilling visible hardware holes
Traditional bidding methods rely on manual takeoffs and supplier callbacks that can delay proposals by days. CountBricks synchronizes supplier APIs, so prices for hinges, pulls, and plywood update the second you speak. Contractors typically shave:
• 65 percent off estimating hours
• 12 percent off material over-ordering
• 9 percent off project duration thanks to faster approvals
Jefferson County rarely requires a separate permit solely for cabinet swaps, but electrical relocations for under-cabinet lighting trigger inspection. CountBricks automatically adds the correct permit line item and schedules inspections within the timeline, eliminating mid-project holdups.
A 1955 ranch demanded custom soffit removal and new ceiling-height cabinets. Using CountBricks, the contractor captured dimensions via smartphone, generated a bid in 12 minutes, and received homeowner sign-off the same afternoon. Material waste dropped to one extra filler panel, and the project finished eight days early—all documented in the CountBricks.com/portfolio gallery.
