Portland’s damp winters, quirky architecture, and ever-evolving housing stock make drywall repair a specialized craft. A tiny moisture stain today can morph into a crumbling wall tomorrow if it isn’t handled with speed and accuracy. That’s why homeowners and residential contractors across the metro area rely on CountBricks. Our AI-driven platform produces lightning-fast estimates, automates blueprint takeoffs, and connects you with skilled crews in real time—so every drywall patch blends seamlessly with the character of your home and stays strong for decades.
• High rainfall means hidden vapor pockets behind drywall
• Historic Craftsman and bungalow layouts often feature non-standard stud spacing
• Frequent seismic micro-tremors can create hairline cracks overnight
• Energy-retrofit projects require cutting and resealing drywall around new plumbing and wiring
Ignoring these factors can lead to bubbling paint, warped seams, or structural damage. CountBricks anticipates them from the first conversation.
Traditional quoting can take days of site visits, note-taking, and manual price checks. With CountBricks voice-enabled estimating, you simply walk the space, describe the damage, and our AI pulls live material prices, labor rates, and task durations in seconds. The result: a transparent line-item estimate that helps you plan, budget, and schedule on the spot.
• Water stains from roof or plumbing leaks
• Popped nails caused by seasonal humidity swings
• Settlement cracks along ceiling joints
• Impact holes from moving furniture or active kids
• Texture mismatch after DIY patches
By cataloging thousands of local repair scenarios, our AI recommends the exact mud type, board thickness, and texture blend to make the fix invisible.
1. Voice-guided walk-through: You or your contractor narrate the damage while our software records dimensions and photos.
2. AI estimate generation: CountBricks cross-references live Portland material costs and labor productivity rates, delivering a detailed quote.
3. Smart scheduling: Choose from pre-vetted drywall specialists synced to our platform. Book a time that works for your project timeline.

CountBricks’ pricing engine tracks every SKU and supply chain fluctuation so you never face surprise markups.
It’s tempting to grab a patch kit and YouTube tutorial. Yet hidden costs stack up fast when you factor in tool purchases, re-work, and lost weekends. CountBricks data shows that professional repair saves Portland homeowners an average of 22% in total project time and 18% in long-term maintenance versus DIY attempts. Plus, our workmanship warranty means you pay once, not twice.
A 110-year-old bungalow had a plumbing leak that soaked two ceiling sheets. Using AI blueprint analysis, CountBricks isolated affected joists, generated a same-day quote, and deployed a two-person crew within 24 hours. The ceiling was demoed, re-hung, textured, and painted in three days, restoring the home before an upcoming AirBnB reservation and earning a five-star review on CountBricks.com/portfolio.
Whether you’re a general contractor juggling multiple sites or a homeowner dealing with last winter’s leak, CountBricks turns drywall headaches into streamlined solutions.

• Keep indoor humidity between 30-50% to minimize board movement
• Use flexible caulk at corners in older homes prone to settlement
• Upgrade attic insulation to prevent condensation stains
• Test paint on a small patch to verify texture match before rolling entire walls
• Schedule an annual visual inspection—small cracks fixed early avert large repairs later
Residential contractors often juggle multiple trades, permits, and tight homeowner deadlines. CountBricks was built to compress those timelines without sacrificing quality.
The client needed two new partition walls plus repair of existing drywall after an HVAC reroute. Traditional workflow predicted eight on-site days. Here’s how CountBricks trimmed it to five:
1. Integrated Plans: The architect’s PDF was uploaded to CountBricks. Our AI marked stud layouts and calculated board counts in under three minutes.
2. Voice Clarifications: During a 10-minute call, the GC confirmed texture level and paint spec. The system auto-updated the scope, removing 45 minutes of manual edits.
3. Auto-Procurement: With real-time supplier feeds, sheets, mud, tape, and corner bead were reserved at the closest distributor—no will-call lines.
4. Labor Sync: CountBricks dispatched a three-person crew whose calendars were already matched to the job’s duration, eliminating downtime between tape coats.
5. Digital Punch List: Post-finish, the homeowner checked off items on their phone. Variations were logged instantly, and the final invoice hit their inbox before the team left.
• Predictable Costs: No add-ons unless scope changes, and you approve every change digitally.
• Data-Driven Scheduling: Our platform studies cure times in Portland’s humidity and sequences tasks for fastest turnaround.
• Single Source of Truth: Estimates, photos, revisions, and invoices live in one dashboard, streamlining communication among owner, GC, and subs.
