Homeowners across Central Florida love the warm look and long life that a freshly stained fence brings to their property. Yet pricing a project can feel like guessing in the dark. How many gallons of stain will you need for that weather-worn pine? How long will two techs really spend prepping and spraying in 92-degree heat? CountBricks removes every uncertainty with AI-driven, real-time Orlando fence staining estimates built specifically for residential construction professionals.
• UV intensity and daily thunderstorms can strip protective coatings within one season
• High humidity accelerates mildew growth and surface discoloration
• A well-sealed fence can add 5–10 years of life to pressure-treated lumber
• Fresh stain boosts curb appeal and overall property value for resale
1. Fence size and style: shadow box and board-on-board designs require more stain than flat pickets
2. Wood condition: rough, gray wood demands additional sanding or power washing time
3. Product selection: transparent, semi-transparent and solid stains are priced differently per gallon
4. Application method: brush, roller or airless sprayer each influence labor hours
5. Site logistics: tight side yards, pool enclosures and vegetation can add setup complexity
Voice-Driven Takeoffs
Simply walk the fence line and describe panel height, length and any gates. CountBricks captures measurements through natural conversation, then converts them into precise square footage.
Smart Material Matching
Our AI engine references live pricing from Central Florida suppliers to recommend best-fit stains, brushes, sprayer tips and cleaning solutions. You receive up-to-the-minute costs—no outdated price books.

• Schedule staining early morning or late afternoon to reduce crew fatigue and wasted stain flash-off
• Buy five-gallon pails instead of single gallons to lower material cost per square foot
• Opt for a semi-transparent stain; it fixes uneven aging better than clear while using less product than solid color
• Use oxalic acid brightener after pressure washing to reduce sanding time on gray lumber
• Include a maintenance re-coat line item in your quote to secure future business and customer satisfaction
Once the job is approved, one click converts the estimate into an invoice. Progress billing, change orders and final pay applications are automated, so you stay focused on production instead of spreadsheets.
A local GC used CountBricks to bid a 220-linear-foot cypress fence behind a historic bungalow. Voice takeoff captured measurements in four minutes. The AI engine recommended a semi-transparent cedar tone priced 3% below competitor quotes. Labor was adjusted to include two weather delay contingency hours. The precise, professional proposal won the homeowner’s trust and the job closed within 24 hours.

Central Florida’s humidity and sun exposure make product choice critical. CountBricks not only lists current supplier pricing but flags technical specs so you can explain value to homeowners with confidence.
• Transparent sealers: Highlight natural wood grain but need re-coats every 12–18 months
• Semi-transparent stains: Balance pigment and penetration, offering 2–3 year protection with moderate color impact
• Solid color stains: Provide paint-like coverage, ideal for mismatched repairs or older fences, lasting up to 5 years
A recent CountBricks analysis on a 150-linear-foot, 6-foot tall pine privacy fence produced these material budgets:
1. Transparent: 14 gallons at $29 each = $406
2. Semi-transparent: 15 gallons at $34 each = $510
3. Solid color: 17 gallons at $39 each = $663
The AI also factors spray tip wear, spill allowance and Orlando sales tax, ensuring your proposal never underbids.
• Afternoon storms: CountBricks weather integration alerts you to 60%+ rain probability and suggests backup dates
• Temperature thresholds: The platform highlights manufacturer minimum and maximum application temps for each stain
• Dry-time tracking: Automatic reminders help crews return for second coats exactly when conditions are optimal
