Queens homeowners love their borough’s character, but the original kitchens in many post-war houses and co-ops were never designed for today’s cooking, gathering, and smart-home technology. CountBricks brings a modern, AI-powered approach to kitchen remodeling Queens residents can trust. Our voice-driven estimating engine captures your vision in real time, matches it with live material pricing, and generates a detailed construction plan before the coffee is done brewing.
• Property values in Queens have climbed steadily, and an updated kitchen delivers the highest ROI of any interior improvement
• Energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting reduce Con Edison bills and increase sustainability
• Open-concept layouts create flow between tight urban rooms, perfect for entertaining
• Local buyers list “move-in ready kitchen” as a top search filter, shortening time on market when you decide to sell
Speed: Our AI listens to your requirements and produces an itemized estimate in minutes, not weeks.
Accuracy: Real-time links to regional suppliers ensure that cabinet, tile, and appliance pricing reflect today’s market—crucial when lumber and freight fluctuate.
Transparency: You see labor, material, and permit costs line by line in clear language. No more “allowances” that hide price spikes.
Collaboration: Share the interactive estimate with family or your board. Approvals happen faster because every stakeholder understands scope and cost.

• Pre-war masonry walls make venting new range hoods tricky. CountBricks’ blueprint takeoffs map structural paths and identify code-compliant solutions.
• Co-op boards require detailed descriptions of plumbing shutdowns. Our estimates auto-generate water-line schedules for easy approvals.
• Space is limited. CountBricks’ 3D cabinet optimizer finds every extra inch without crowding door swings.
1. Voice Consultation: Speak with our AI or a human project lead. Describe styles, appliances, and must-haves.

When the Ramirez family bought their pre-war co-op in Astoria, the original galley kitchen measured just 7' x 9'. Using CountBricks’ AI takeoff tool, we discovered that by relocating the range to the opposite wall and opening a non-load-bearing section, we could create a peninsula that added 12 square feet of counter space.
• Timeline: 21 working days from demolition to final DOB sign-off
• Budget: $27,800—locked on day one and delivered within 1.5% variance
