In every residential build, properly mounted insulation is the line between a drafty, expensive home and a comfortable, energy-efficient sanctuary. At CountBricks, we combine field-tested know-how with real-time AI estimating to help contractors and DIY homeowners mount insulation quickly, accurately, and within budget.
When insulation is mounted correctly, heating and cooling equipment work less, moisture stays outside, and homeowners enjoy lower utility bills. Improper installation, however, can trap moisture, invite mold, and create costly callbacks. CountBricks tackles these risks head-on by giving you laser-accurate material counts, labor timelines, and cost breakdowns the moment you finish a voice conversation with our AI engine.
• Up to 25 % reduction in annual energy costs when insulation is mounted to manufacturer specs
• Healthier indoor air quality thanks to sealed thermal envelopes
• Increased resale value—buyers pay a premium for documented efficiency upgrades
• Fiberglass batts—ideal for stud bays in walls, floors, and cathedral ceilings
• Blown-in cellulose—excellent for retrofits in existing wall cavities
• Rigid foam boards—great for exterior wall sheathing and basement walls
• Spray foam—perfect for irregular cavities and rim joists
CountBricks AI takeoffs specify the correct R-value zones for each climate region, so you never overspend on materials that fail local code checks.

When fiberglass spikes, the platform suggests alternative products with equivalent R-values and lists the savings next to your margin—no more spreadsheet guesswork.
