In West Texas, kitchen upgrades are the most requested residential renovation after bathroom refreshes. A modern over-the-range microwave frees up counter space, improves ventilation, and raises resale value—especially in El Paso’s competitive housing market. When residents type “microwaves el paso” they are usually looking for three things: accurate pricing, fast scheduling, and a crew that understands local building codes. CountBricks delivers all three in one AI-driven package.
Traditional estimating can take days of back-and-forth emails. CountBricks compresses that timeline into minutes.

• Our AI matches real-time material costs from El Paso suppliers and prevailing labor rates.

Maria and Luis purchased a 1970s ranch that still had its original countertop microwave. During their walkthrough call on the CountBricks app, they asked for a vented over-the-range unit plus under-cabinet lighting.
1. The AI estimate generated a $785 proposal in less than five minutes, breaking down $415 for the appliance, $235 labor, and $135 for electrical materials and disposal.
2. After digital signature, a CountBricks electrician visited the next morning to verify the circuit load and measured cabinet clearances with our blueprint takeoff tool.
3. On install day, the crew arrived at 9 AM, removed the outdated unit, cut a 3-in vent through the upper cabinet, and finished the job by 10:45 AM. Maria was cooking lunch under her new LED-lit microwave by noon.
• Real-time Supplier Sync: The chosen stainless model was confirmed in stock at a nearby warehouse, eliminating delays.
• Precise Labor Forecast: The AI predicted 1.6 hours; actual crew time was 1.5 hours.
• Client Control: Maria monitored progress in the CountBricks dashboard and released the final payment via the app.
