Salem’s varied climate creates dramatic swings in moisture and temperature. That means the paint system protecting your siding, trim, and interiors takes a beating every season. Hiring any painter won’t cut it—Salem homeowners need painting contractors who understand local building codes, substrate movement, and the latest low-VOC coatings. CountBricks delivers all of that expertise while wrapping every brushstroke in the power of AI-driven estimating and scheduling.
CountBricks is more than a painting crew—we are a full-service residential construction technology partner. Our cloud platform converts a quick voice conversation into a comprehensive, line-item estimate. Every gallon of paint, linear foot of trim, and hour of prep labor is costed against real-time supplier pricing in Salem.
• Instant AI takeoffs from blueprints or smartphone photos
• Automated scope sheets that separate surface prep, priming, and finish coats
• Transparent material and labor costs pulled from live Salem OR supplier feeds
• Digital change-order approvals so you never lose track of budget shifts
1. Voice Consultation: Describe rooms, square footage, and finish goals. Our AI creates a live sketch and material list while you talk.
2. Site Scan: A CountBricks field tech verifies measurements with LiDAR and uploads photos to CountBricks.com/portfolio. Any substrate damage is flagged for repair.
3. AI Estimate: Within minutes, you receive a detailed proposal showing prep tasks, primer type, finish coats, and warranty options. Adjust colors or sheens in a click.
4. Project Scheduling: Our platform syncs available crews, weather forecasts, and lead times on specialty coatings. You choose the start date that works.
5. Zero-Surprise Delivery: Crews follow the CountBricks digital checklist. Daily progress photos appear in your client portal.
6. Final Walk-Through & Invoice: Sign off on each room. An auto-generated invoice reflects only approved work, payable online.
CountBricks has processed thousands of bids across Marion and Polk counties. Four drivers consistently affect price:
• Substrate Condition: Bare cedar siding needs 30-40 % more labor than previously painted HardiePlank.
• Product Selection: A premium elastomeric exterior paint can cost double a basic acrylic but extends repaint cycles by up to 10 years.
• Access Complexity: Two-story gables demand scaffold rental; ranch homes often avoid that surcharge.
• Seasonal Timing: Booking between November and February can cut material surcharges when supplier demand drops.
Traditional painting contractors in Salem Oregon often base bids on square-foot averages or gut feel. CountBricks ties every estimate to:
• Live SKU pricing from local distributors
• Historical crew productivity data for similar homes
• Dynamic risk buffers for weather delays
• Automated compliance with Oregon OSHA ladder and scaffold rules
The result is a bid you can trust today—and still trust six weeks later when the first coat goes on.
• Request a line-item breakout so you can see prep versus finish labor costs.
• Verify that primer and finish coats come from the same manufacturer—they bond better.
• Ask about moisture readings on exterior wood; paint over 15 % moisture can void warranties.
• Insist on low-VOC or zero-VOC products for occupied interiors.
• Choose contractors who provide digital daily logs—CountBricks publishes them automatically.
How long will my project take?
Most three-bedroom interiors finish in three to five days. Exterior timelines depend on power washing dry-downs and temperature windows; CountBricks projects average six to eight days.
Can I supply my own paint?
Yes, but CountBricks passes through manufacturer discounts that homeowners rarely access. Supplied-by-owner materials void our labor warranty.
What if I change colors mid-project?
Our AI change-order module recalculates material and labor instantly and updates your budget in real time.
