From Mid-Century ranch houses in the Valley to contemporary townhomes in Santa Monica, moulding details frame the character of Los Angeles residences. Yet inconsistent pricing, traffic-induced delivery delays, and ever-shifting lumber costs make bidding and installing trim work a notorious headache. CountBricks changes that narrative by bringing real-time material pricing, voice-driven scope capture, and AI blueprint takeoffs into one streamlined platform.

Because CountBricks updates local material databases hourly, our estimates satisfy that intent at the first conversation. Voice-capture a room dimension, confirm the profile style, and receive an itemized moulding proposal in under five minutes—without lifting a tape measure.

The builder uploaded blueprints to CountBricks.com/portfolio. Our AI quantified 1,420 LF of 1×6 pine base, 880 LF of 4¼″ crown, and 62 casing sets in 11 minutes. Material and labor totals landed at $18,260—within 1.7 % of the final invoice. The homeowner received digital sign-off documents the same evening, keeping the renovation schedule intact.
Los Angeles waste regulations penalize over-ordering. CountBricks’ muffled overage rate is under 3 %, compared with the 10 % industry average. Less scrap equals fewer landfill fees and a greener project footprint.
