The Bronx is a borough full of character, brownstones, and tight urban lots. Remodeling a kitchen here demands more than swapping cabinets—it requires smart space planning, code knowledge, and razor-sharp cost control. CountBricks brings all three together. Our AI-driven estimating engine captures real-time material pricing, local labor rates, and borough-specific permit fees, giving homeowners the accuracy they need before demolition even begins.
• Buildings range from pre-war walk-ups to modern condos, each with unique structural quirks
• Older plumbing and electrical systems must be updated to current NYC codes
• Space constraints call for creative layouts, multifunction islands, and built-in storage
• Permitting and inspections involve the NYC Department of Buildings and often Landmarks Preservation
When you partner with CountBricks, you tap into project managers who remodel Bronx kitchens every week and an AI platform that instantly flags borough-specific compliance issues.
1. Live voice consultation: Using the CountBricks mobile app, speak your vision while walking through the kitchen. Our AI transcribes dimensions and wish-list items in real time.
2. Instant estimate generation: Within minutes, you receive a detailed cost breakdown that includes demolition, framing, MEP upgrades, cabinetry, finishes, permits, and cleanup.
3. Digital blueprint takeoff: Upload an architect’s plan or scan the existing space. CountBricks AI identifies walls, fixtures, and appliance locations, generating material lists down to the last box of screws.
4. Final scope review: A CountBricks project manager walks you through options for countertops, fixtures, and energy-efficient appliances that qualify for NYC incentives.
5. Construction kickoff: Our vetted crews arrive on schedule. Milestone inspections are tracked through the CountBricks dashboard so you always know what’s next.
• Age of building: Pre-1960 structures often need full electrical rewiring and lead-pipe replacement
• Structural modifications: Removing a load-bearing wall to open up a galley kitchen can add engineering fees
• Custom cabinetry: Local millwork supports tight niches but costs more than stock cabinets
• Material selection: Quartzite counters and imported tile boost aesthetics—and budget
• Permit fees and DOB inspections: Timelines and costs vary by community district
With CountBricks AI, every factor is priced against live market data so your budget holds firm even when commodities fluctuate.
The traditional method of waiting days for a hand-typed quote invites costly surprises. CountBricks uses predictive algorithms trained on thousands of New York City renovations. If copper prices spike overnight, the platform notifies you before materials are ordered. If a late design tweak calls for an extra GFI outlet, cost and schedule impact appear instantly in your dashboard.
• Two-tone cabinetry: Matte navy lowers with white uppers maximize light in narrow spaces
• Waterfall peninsula: Adds dining seating without sacrificing circulation
• Large-format porcelain tiles: Deliver a high-end look with fewer grout lines—ideal for busy households
• Low-profile vent hoods: Meet strict CFM rules while maintaining sightlines to adjacent living areas
CountBricks design specialists source these materials locally, shortening lead times and supporting Bronx suppliers.
NYC code requires permits for any plumbing, gas, or electrical relocation. CountBricks files paperwork electronically, schedules DOB inspections, and posts mandatory signage. The result: no work stoppages, no fines, and a certificate of completion you can count on during resale.
Average kitchen remodeling Bronx NY projects span 6-10 weeks. CountBricks achieves the lower end of that range through:
• Pre-ordering long-lead items as soon as contracts are signed
• Sequencing trades with AI-driven scheduling to avoid downtime
• Live-status updates so homeowners approve field changes immediately
In a 1950s brick rowhouse, CountBricks removed a non-load-bearing wall, rerouted gas for a 36" range, and installed floor-to-ceiling pantry pullouts. The AI estimate was within 1.8% of final cost, and the family cooked Thanksgiving dinner in their new kitchen just eight weeks after demolition.

The Vargas family owned their Fordham duplex for twenty years, but their 90 sq ft kitchen cramped family gatherings. CountBricks was tasked with adding prep space, seating, and storage—all without extending the footprint.
• Structural ingenuity: Our engineers specified a compact LVL header, replacing a partial wall while preserving existing joists.
• Creative storage: Custom toe-kick drawers and a pull-out spice rack gained 12 cubic feet of hidden capacity.
• Energy upgrades: Swapping the antiquated gas range for an induction cooktop reduced indoor pollutants and qualified the family for a ConEd rebate.
Initial AI projection: $47,380
Final construction cost: $47,955
Variance: 1.2%—proof that real-time material pricing and automated task sequencing keep surprises at bay.
• Align wish list with ROI: CountBricks analytics showed quartz counters would recoup 83% of cost at resale—an easy yes for the Vargases.
