For many New York homeowners, the kitchen is more than a place to cook—it's a focal point for family, entertaining, and resale value. When those dated doors, squeaky hinges, or mismatched finishes finally push you to renovate, CountBricks is ready. Our AI-driven estimating engine and real-time materials database make replacing or refacing kitchen cabinets in New York faster, clearer, and more affordable than ever.
• Historic brownstones and modern condos alike gain instant equity from fresh cabinetry
• Post-pandemic buyers prioritize turnkey kitchens, driving up market value
• Supply chains have stabilized, so material lead times are shorter in 2024
• CountBricks AI compares hundreds of local supplier prices in seconds, locking in competitive rates before they shift
Solid maple, MDF, thermofoil, or sustainably harvested bamboo each carry very different price tags. CountBricks.com/services lists current per-linear-foot pricing pulled directly from New York distributors, so you see an apples-to-apples comparison in real time.
Frameless European boxes offer maximized storage but can demand tighter tolerances during install. Framed American boxes cost less but limit full-width pullouts. CountBricks AI weighs labor hours against storage gain so you can decide with confidence.
• Shaker: timeless, mid-range price
• Slab: sleek, budget-friendly veneer options
• Inset: premium custom look, higher install precision required
Our platform calculates not only the door cost but also the extra onsite carpentry time for each style.
Soft-close hinges, pocket pullouts, and under-cab lighting boost functionality but add to the bottom line. The CountBricks estimate breaks out each upgrade so you can toggle options live during your design meeting.
Tight elevators, walk-ups, and co-op scheduling windows introduce logistical costs unique to the city. CountBricks installer partners upload photos and building requirements via our mobile app so the AI can factor those hurdles into the initial number—no last-minute surprises.
Old-school remodel quotes take days of back-and-forth emails. With CountBricks voice estimation, you simply walk through your kitchen on a video call while our system captures dimensions, recognizes cabinet styles, and pulls SKUs from partnered suppliers. Within minutes you receive:
• A line-item material list with live New York pricing
• Labor hours mapped to specific tasks—demo, rough carpentry, finish install, paint touch-ups
• A Gantt-style schedule adjusted to your building’s quiet hours
• A digital contract ready for e-signature and deposit
Switching cabinets rarely needs a DOB permit unless plumbing, gas, or electrical lines move. Still, CountBricks reviews building bylaws, historic district rules, and condo alteration agreements to protect your project. If licensed electrical or plumbing work becomes necessary, our AI instantly assigns the appropriate subcontractor tier and updates your estimate in seconds.
A family of four wanted to replace builder-grade particleboard boxes with full-height, eco-certified plywood Shaker cabinets. CountBricks voice takeoff captured 26 linear feet of uppers and lowers plus a 7-foot pantry. The AI estimate balanced cost-effective RTA boxes with premium doors and revealed that upgrading to soft-close drawers would add only 2% to the total budget. The project finished in 12 calendar days, under the co-op’s 15-day limit, and the app tracked every task checkpoint. View photos at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

Cabinets may anchor the project cost, but a successful New York kitchen upgrade requires tight orchestration of related trades. CountBricks’ platform expands far beyond boxes and doors to keep every moving part in sync.
Our AI cross-references the cabinet install finish date with local stone fabricator lead times. If quartz templates can’t be measured within 24 hours of cabinet leveling, the system flags the conflict and offers alternate fabricators from our vetted network. That proactive step alone can shave a week off your overall timeline.
• Real-time dimension matching prevents costly returns at the building loading dock
• Cut-sheet uploads ensure cabinet end panels align with fridge hinge clearances
• Electrical and gas rough-ins are auto-scheduled two days before delivery
CountBricks assigns a licensed electrician who receives your cabinet layout and ceiling plan directly in the app. They pre-wire for under-cab LED strips and island pendants while the walls are still open, avoiding double visits and saving labor hours.
New York sanitation rules require special permits for construction dumpsters on public streets. CountBricks automatically files the permit, schedules drop-off, and includes all fees in the original estimate—no midnight parking tickets or fines.
Once your kitchen is complete, the CountBricks dashboard shows the exact variance between estimated and actual material usage, labor hours, and change orders. Homeowners use this data to negotiate lower insurance premiums, while contractors use it to sharpen future bids.
Whether you’re tackling a Harlem rowhouse or a Long Island split-level, CountBricks unifies every stakeholder under one digital roof. Explore the difference at CountBricks.com/services and see why more New Yorkers trust us to transform their kitchens without the chaos.
