A 1920s bungalow in South Tampa needed a roof that preserved historic charm while meeting modern wind codes. Using CountBricks AI blueprint takeoff, the contractor captured eyebrow dormers and clipped gables in minutes. Live pricing showed 0.032 aluminum panels were only 6% higher than steel that week, persuading the homeowner to choose a lightweight, corrosion-proof option. The final proposal—generated and signed on the porch—came in at $37,950 with a 48-hour acceptance window. Installation finished three days ahead of schedule, triggering an automated invoice and saving the crew one full day of labor.
With modern underlayment and attic insulation, rain noise is only 6 dB higher than an architectural shingle roof—barely noticeable indoors.
No. Standing-seam panels allow clamp-on racking that avoids roof penetrations, preserving both the roof and solar warranties. CountBricks can integrate solar mounting clips in your material list automatically.
Light colors with high reflectivity—like Sandstone or Cool White—maintain gloss longest. CountBricks’ color library displays Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) values next to each finish for easy homeowner education.
