Ask any West Tennessee homeowner where energy dollars disappear and you will usually hear two culprits: humid summers and unpredictable cold snaps. Quality Memphis insulation is the first defense against both, and CountBricks makes getting it right effortless. Our platform turns a quick voice conversation into a complete material list, labor breakdown and professional-grade quote—often in less time than it takes to brew your coffee.
• Easy fit between standard 16 in. or 24 in. joist spacing
• Familiar installation workflow for local crews
• Competitive price point compared to spray foam
• Straightforward inspection approval when installed correctly
CountBricks keeps batt insulation viable by removing the traditional estimating bottleneck. Our AI pulls current supplier pricing in real time, applies localized waste factors, and even flags code-required R-values inside the city of Memphis and surrounding Shelby County.
Memphis sits in the DOE’s Climate Zone 3. That means sweltering humidity, occasional ice storms, and a year-round battle against moisture migration. Poorly calculated insulation can trap condensation in attic cavities or allow conditioned air to leak through the ceiling plane. Both scenarios lead to mold risk and painful utility bills.
CountBricks Advantage: Every estimate includes a dew-point check that matches insulation R-value with recommended vapor retarder placement. Homeowners get comfort; contractors avoid costly callbacks.
• AI blueprint takeoffs eliminate manual counting, saving hours on every plan set
• Voice-to-estimate lets builders walk the site, note square footage changes, and see totals update instantly
• One-click conversion from estimate to branded proposal, ready to email or e-sign
• Integrated purchase order creation synced with local distributors so material arrives just-in-time
1. Say “New project: 2,400 sq ft single-family, vaulted ceilings.”
2. Upload or photograph the floor plan—our AI finds every insulated cavity.
3. Confirm assembly: R-38 attic, R-21 cathedral, R-13 walls.
4. CountBricks pulls live pricing and proposes Owens Corning or Johns Manville batts in stock today.
5. Approve the scope—your branded quote is generated automatically.
6. Convert to invoice, schedule crews, and track job progress in the same dashboard.
• Story height: Tall attics demand more square footage coverage and staging time.
• Vaulted vs. flat ceilings: Cathedral spaces require R-21+ high-density batts, roughly 18 % cost premium.
• Material lead times: Ordering during seasonal rush can add 5-10 % to material cost—CountBricks alerts you beforehand.
• Waste factors: Our AI calibrates waste by joist spacing, regularly trimming 3-5 % off material allowance compared to generic calculators.
The International Residential Code recommends R-38 attic insulation for Climate Zone 3, yet many Memphis retrofits still carry only R-19. By upgrading to R-38, homeowners typically shave 11-14 % off annual HVAC spend. CountBricks automatically highlights upsell opportunities and displays the simple payback in years, empowering contractors to educate clients and close higher-margin work.
Does CountBricks handle moisture barriers? Yes. Our estimate notes the correct facing—kraft, foil or unfaced—based on cavity location and HVAC load calculations.
Can I mix batt and blown insulation? Absolutely. CountBricks can split the takeoff, specifying batts for knee walls and loose-fill cellulose for flat attics while maintaining a single consolidated quote.
What about rebates? We monitor local utility incentives and tag eligible R-value upgrades so you can pass savings directly to the client.

A 1940s bungalow near Overton Park suffered from summer attic temps topping 140 °F. The homeowner wanted lower bills without gutting interior finishes. Using CountBricks voice notes, the contractor recorded: “1,100 sq ft attic, 2x6 rafters, add baffles, target R-38.” In under three minutes the platform produced a full material list, labor hours, and a customer-ready proposal.
• Pre-retrofit blower door: 12.8 ACH50
• Post-retrofit blower door: 8.9 ACH50
• Average monthly HVAC savings: 24 %
• Payback on insulation upgrade: 3.2 years
• Always pair higher R-value batts with attic air sealing; ignoring leakage can cut realized savings in half.
• Install ruler strips every 80 sq ft for inspectors—CountBricks includes them in the material count so you never fall short.
• Stagger crew tasks: one tech lays baffles ahead of batt installers to maintain airflow from soffit to ridge.
The contractor has since added CountBricks to every roofing and remodeling estimate. Because pricing updates automatically, there’s no need to re-enter SKUs when lumber or insulation suppliers adjust costs. Clients appreciate transparent line items, and the builder closes proposals 22 % faster on average.
