Your front door is more than an entryway; it is the first layer of security, the leading contributor to curb appeal, and a key driver of energy efficiency. In Lansing’s four-season climate, the wrong door choice can mean drafts in January and inflated cooling bills in July. CountBricks pairs on-site know-how with AI precision to make sure every residential project starts with the right Lansing door—installed once, installed right.
Homeowners often search “Lansing door cost” and find wildly different numbers. The spread is real, and understanding the variables helps you budget accurately.
• Door material: fiberglass, steel, wood, or composite
• Rough opening size and necessary framing adjustments
• Hardware and smart lock integrations
• Exterior trim, sidelights, and transoms
• Labor complexity, including demolition and disposal
• Code-required insulation or storm-door pairing for energy credits
Traditional estimating adds each line by hand, but CountBricks voices a better way. Speak measurements and product preferences into our app; our AI pulls Lansing-specific material pricing in seconds and builds a transparent line-item estimate you can accept immediately.
CountBricks combines natural-language capture, blueprint takeoffs, and real-time cost libraries to deliver bids while you finish your morning coffee.
1. Conversation Capture: Discuss style, size, and finish with our estimator through your phone or desktop mic.
2. Instant Takeoff: AI validates measurements against your uploaded photos or PDFs and flags framing adjustments.

CountBricks crews average 300+ residential door replacements per year in the Lansing area. Here is what experience has taught us:
• Always pre-hang doors indoors for a dry-fit before demolition.
• Use expandable foam sparingly; over-expansion can bow jambs.
• Flashing tape on the sill pan is non-negotiable in mid-Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles.
• Invest in adjustable thresholds to compensate for natural settling.
• Finish with low-maintenance PVC brickmould to eliminate future rot.
• Craftsman fiberglass: pairs historic charm with modern insulation.
• Solid-core steel: unbeatable security at a moderate price point.
• Mahogany plank: premium warmth for restored century homes.
• Contemporary glass lite: floods interiors with natural light while meeting ENERGY STAR® ratings.
CountBricks design consultants walk you through color palettes and hardware finishes using augmented reality previews—no imagination required.

Emily and Jordan Walters had a familiar Lansing problem: a 1980s wooden door that leaked air and refused to latch on humid days. They called CountBricks on a Tuesday morning. By Thursday afternoon, a new insulated fiberglass craftsman door was welcoming guests.

3. Digital Approval—9:27 AM: One e-signature locked in the project and auto-ordered materials from a local supplier.
4. Installation Crew On-Site—Next day, 8:00 AM: CountBricks carpenters removed the old door, repaired water-damaged sheathing, flashed the opening, and set the pre-finished unit by noon.
5. Final Walk-Through—1:45 PM: Jordan confirmed smooth operation and airtight seal. Photos synced automatically to the CountBricks.com/portfolio page.
