Lighting is the quickest way to transform a home—from dated to modern, from dim to dazzling. Yet many Concord homeowners delay upgrades because estimating labor, materials, and timelines feels overwhelming. CountBricks solves that problem with voice-driven AI that delivers accurate numbers in minutes and then mobilizes vetted electricians to finish the job on schedule.
• Rising property values make well-lit interiors a simple path to higher resale prices
• Energy codes in Contra Costa County increasingly incentivize LED retrofits
• Open-concept remodels demand layered lighting plans that combine pendants, can lights, and under-cabinet strips
• Concord’s competitive rental market rewards units that boast modern fixtures and smart-home dimming
1. Speak your scope: Using any smartphone, describe the rooms, ceiling heights, and fixture counts you want updated.
2. Instant AI takeoff: Our software converts your voice into a line-item material list—j-boxes, Romex, dimmers, trims—sourced from local Concord suppliers in real time.
3. Labor mapped to reality: CountBricks references regional wage databases and typical crew productivity to calculate hours, not guesses.
4. Final estimate delivered: Within minutes you receive a professionally formatted PDF and a shareable link hosted at CountBricks.com/portfolio for stakeholder review.
Per-fixture retrofit: $145 – $260 installed (LED can replacement)
Pendant over island: $275 – $425 including new box and switch leg
Full-room new layout: $1,200 – $2,100 for eight cans, one pendant, dimmer module, and patch-paint
Prices above come directly from CountBricks real-time supplier feeds and union/non-union labor averages. Open your estimate file and you will see each assumption clearly labeled—no mystery math.
• Return trips for missing parts—AI cross-checks inventory counts
• Change-order padding—scope freeze happens before the first screwdriver turns
• Permit surprises—CountBricks flags when Concord Building & Fire permit fees apply and inserts them into the estimate automatically
• Every electrician on a CountBricks crew holds a current California C-10 license
• Field teams access the same cloud estimate, eliminating paper confusion
• Daily photo logs sync back to your client dashboard at CountBricks.com/services for transparent progress checks
• A closing walkthrough ensures every trim ring is flush and every dimmer slides without flicker
• LED recessed lights: Lowest operating cost and longest lifespan
• Statement pendants: High visual impact for kitchens and vaulted entries
• Track systems: Flexible beam angles perfect for art walls and home offices
• Smart switches: Add app-based control without replacing existing fixtures
CountBricks estimators load brand-agnostic spec sheets into your proposal, so swapping styles never affects the wiring count underneath.
• Group lights onto shared circuits by room use, not by physical location, to simplify future expansions
• Use IC-rated cans in Concord’s attic-heavy housing stock to maintain insulation continuity and meet Title 24
• Plan a dedicated low-voltage chase if you anticipate adding under-cabinet or toe-kick strips later
• Reserve 2 inches of extra cable at each j-box—AI may calculate perfect lengths, but real ceilings rarely are
• Photograph every open wall before drywall: priceless when troubleshooting a dimmer two years later
1. Accept your proposal via e-signature inside the CountBricks dashboard
2. Schedule install; crews arrive with pre-packed kits matched to your takeoff
3. Mid-job voice check-ins update the cost log automatically
4. Final invoice auto-generates, reflecting any approved changes in real time
This closed loop means homeowners never wait for paperwork, and contractors maintain cash flow without administrative drag.
