Few upgrades deliver as much impact for as little cost as new lighting. In a city that blends modern design with Hill Country character, Austin homeowners are demanding fixtures that are stylish, energy-smart, and installed without disruption. CountBricks meets that demand every day, combining on-site craftsmanship with real-time AI estimation to keep projects predictable and affordable.
From mid-century remodels in Travis Heights to new builds in Cedar Park, lighting trends emphasize warmth, dimmable versatility, and low-profile forms that highlight natural materials. CountBricks designers work hand-in-hand with clients to specify fixtures that align with:
• Energy codes unique to the Austin area
• High-efficiency LED requirements for rebates
• Smart-home integrations preferred by tech-savvy residents
• The region’s abundance of daylight, reducing daytime loads
1. Voice-Activated Scope Call: Using the CountBricks app, homeowners describe their space. Our AI converts the conversation into a live scope and material list.
2. Instant Estimate: The system pulls current Austin labor rates and fixture prices, sending a line-item quote within minutes.
3. Blueprint Takeoff (When Needed): Upload floor plans and CountBricks AI auto-detects junction boxes, circuit runs, and switch locations to refine pricing.
4. On-Site Verification: A CountBricks project lead confirms measurements and final fixture selections.
5. Permitting & Scheduling: We file any required city permits, coordinate utility shut-offs if necessary, and lock in an installation date.
6. Professional Installation: Licensed electricians install, level, and program every fixture, followed by a full QC walkthrough.
• Match Color Temperature: Austin’s abundant natural light pairs best with 2700K-3000K LEDs for evening warmth.
• Consider Ceiling Height: In bungalows with 8-foot ceilings, select flush mounts or low-profile pendants to maintain head clearance.
• Dimmer Compatibility: Not all LED drivers work with every dimmer. CountBricks specifies matched components to avoid flicker.
• Outdoor Durability: For patios, choose fixtures rated for humidity swings and sudden storms common in Central Texas.
• Future Proofing: Ask CountBricks to install extra junction boxes in remodels so you can add sconces or pendants later without new drywall work.
Because CountBricks leverages live vendor feeds, numbers stay accurate even when supply chains fluctuate. Typical ranges:
• Flush-mount LED fixture (labor + material): $185–$275 each
• Decorative dining pendant: $325–$550 each
• Recessed can retrofit kit: $95–$145 each
• Smart switch upgrade: $140–$210 per gang
• Whole-house lighting package (2,500 sq ft remodel): $5,800–$8,600
Every estimate details fixture SKU, delivery timeline, and warranty so there are zero surprises. Homeowners approve online, triggering automatic work orders in the CountBricks scheduling dashboard.
