Queens is one of the most dynamic boroughs in New York City, with residential properties ranging from pre-war co-ops to brand-new condos. No matter the building type, one renovation consistently delivers high return on investment: new kitchen cabinets. Homeowners crave storage and style, while contractors need reliable numbers before they bid. That’s where CountBricks changes the game. Our AI-driven voice estimating platform delivers real-time material costs, labor hours, and production rates so you can price “Queens cabinets” projects with confidence—often in minutes, not days.
• Space efficiency is critical; many kitchens are under 120 sq ft
• Premium finishes add resale value in competitive co-op boards
• Moisture-resistant boxes combat coastal humidity
• Updated cabinetry often triggers electrical and plumbing upgrades—planning ahead avoids change orders
• Cabinet construction grade: framed, frameless, or inset
• Door style and finish: shaker, slab, or high-gloss acrylic
• Custom sizing for pre-war alcoves and uneven walls
• Delivery logistics: walk-ups vs elevator buildings
• Permit and DOB filing fees for full-gut renovations
Old Way: Manual takeoffs, endless supplier calls, spreadsheets that never match site conditions.

Brownstone party walls, irregular joist layouts, and decades-old plumbing stacks can turn a simple cabinet refacing into a partial gut. CountBricks’ AI reads plan notes—right down to “existing soffit to remain”—so no linear inch is missed. The result: fewer RFIs, tighter budgets, and happier project managers.
CountBricks recently supported a contractor renovating a 1960s condo on 34th Avenue. The scope included 14 linear feet of frameless maple cabinets, custom filler panels, and crown molding. Our platform generated a $14,250 materials and labor estimate in 3.7 minutes. The bid was accepted the same day, and the project closed under budget—proving again that rapid, transparent estimating wins work in Queens.
• Order filler strips early—wall variance in pre-war buildings can hit ¾″
• Factor in after-hours elevator use fees for high-rises
• Choose moisture-resistant MDF cores near coastal zones like Rockaway
• Always inspect sprinkler head clearance when adding ceiling-height uppers
• Use CountBricks change-order tracking to protect margins during unexpected DOB inspections

Queens’ micro-climates—salt air near Rockaway, steam heat in Sunnyside—make material selection critical. CountBricks’ database tracks performance histories, so you never over-spec or under-engineer.
• Plywood box with maple veneer: balances weight and warp resistance in elevator buildings
• Marine-grade MDF with thermofoil wrap: ideal for peninsula units exposed to humidity from dishwashers
• Solid birch face frames: accept paint evenly, perfect for color-matching historic trims in Jackson Heights
1. Entry Level: RTA particleboard boxes—30 % lower cost, 45 % shorter lifespan in humid kitchens
2. Mid-Tier: Plywood core with hardwood doors—balanced budget, 20-year service life
3. Premium: Inset, custom-painted hardwood—highest investment, adds instant appraisal value
Our AI flags when premium paint finishes may require a separate acclimation day, automatically inserting labor for climate-controlled storage. That foresight prevents the all-too-common Queens complaint: hairline cracks by the first winter.
A contractor uploaded a hand-drawn sketch of a 1920s galley kitchen to CountBricks. The system identified plaster demolition, uneven subfloors, and recommended shimming labor. The result was a 12-page, line-item estimate that impressed the homeowner association and secured a $42k contract. No surprises, just streamlined success.
