Window molding is more than a decorative frame. It seals out moisture, stops air leakage, and completes the architectural style of your home. When it’s cracked, rotten, or loose, you risk energy loss, water damage, and curb-appeal issues. CountBricks specializes in fast, accurate, and cost-effective solutions to repair window molding in residential projects—backed by our AI estimating engine, real-time material pricing, and blueprint takeoffs.
• AI-generated estimates delivered during a live conversation, not days later
• Real-time pricing on lumber, PVC, and composite trims to lock in budgets
• Digital blueprint takeoffs that calculate exact linear feet of molding
• Access to vetted carpenters who follow CountBricks quality standards
• Clear, itemized invoices that sync directly with your accounting software
1. Moisture Infiltration: Rainwater trapped behind aging caulk swells wooden trim and invites rot.
2. UV Exposure: Harsh sunlight breaks down paint films, leaving molding brittle and cracked.
3. Pest Activity: Termites and carpenter ants tunnel through untreated wood.
4. Foundation Shift: Even slight settlement can twist frames and pull trim joints apart.
5. Improper Installation: Nails too close to edges or missing flashing accelerates failure.
• Flaking or blistering paint around the sash
• Soft spots when you press a screwdriver into the trim
• Gaps wider than a credit card between molding and siding
• Higher energy bills from air drafts around windows
• Visible staining or mildew on interior drywall beneath windows
Step 1: Voice-Driven Site Walk-Through
Our field app records a real-time conversation with homeowners. As you describe concerns, CountBricks AI tags each window, captures dimensions, and suggests repair scope.
Step 2: Instant AI Estimate
Within seconds, CountBricks.com/services generates a line-item estimate that includes removal of damaged molding, material replacement, labor hours, disposal, and finish painting—using live local pricing from partnered suppliers.
Step 3: Blueprint & Photo Takeoffs
Upload existing plans or snap photos; the platform detects window openings, measures perimeter lengths, and auto-populates material lists. No more manual counting.
Step 4: Scheduling & Procurement
Choose available slots from CountBricks-certified carpenters. Materials are ordered in-app, eliminating over-buying and delays.
Step 5: On-Site Execution
Our crews arrive with QR-coded work orders. Each task—demo, prep, install, caulk, prime, paint—updates live, so you track progress from your phone.
Step 6: Close-Out & Warranty
After final inspection, CountBricks uploads photos to your project portal. Digital warranties cover workmanship and paint finish for up to five years.
Wood
• Classic aesthetics match historic homes
• Must be properly sealed to prevent rot
PVC
• Impervious to moisture and insects
• Holds paint color longer under UV exposure
Composite
• Recycled fibers bonded with polymers for strength
• Costs slightly more but offers unbeatable stability
• Material type and local availability
• Height and accessibility of each window
• Extent of underlying frame damage uncovered during demo
• Specialty profiles or custom millwork for historical accuracy
• Regional labor rates
Homeowners tempted to DIY often underestimate hidden issues behind the trim. CountBricks technicians carry moisture meters, flashing tapes, and back-primer sealants that extend the life of new molding. When you factor in tool rentals, wasted material, and potential callbacks, our turnkey service often costs less overall.
• Pre-prime all cut ends of wood molding to block moisture wicking
• Use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners to prevent rust stains
• Back-caulk the top edge before nailing to create a continuous water shed
• Shim behind warped framing rather than forcing the trim flat—this avoids paint cracks later
• Coat finished work with high-build, elastomeric exterior paint for maximum flexibility
If your project includes siding replacement, energy-efficient window upgrades, or a full facade makeover, CountBricks consolidates scopes into one AI-driven estimate. Visit CountBricks.com/portfolio to see how our teams synchronized multiple exterior upgrades without overruns.

When the Hawkins family noticed peeling paint and spongy wood around their Fresno bungalow’s windows, they turned to CountBricks for a solution that would preserve the home’s Craftsman charm without constant maintenance. Here’s how our process unfolded:
1. Live Assessment: During a ten-minute video call, our estimator tagged all eight windows. The AI engine flagged 64 linear feet of rotted trim and suggested PVC molding with a Craftsman profile to match the original look.
2. Real-Time Budget: The couple saw an on-screen quote instantly—42 % lower than a traditional contractor bid—thanks to transparent material pricing and optimized labor allocation.
3. Seamless Execution: Two CountBricks carpenters completed removal, flashing repair, and new PVC installation in one day. Because the digital takeoff was precise, only one extra stick of molding remained, cutting waste to under $20.
4. Final Finish: A high-build acrylic paint matched the existing color perfectly. Moisture readings dropped from 18 % to 8 %, confirming a tight envelope.
• Accurate AI measurements slash material waste and guesswork
• Pre-primed PVC gives heritage homes modern durability without visual compromise
• Same-day estimates and scheduling keep renovation momentum high
• CountBricks photo documentation simplifies insurance and resale disclosures
If you’re considering larger exterior upgrades—smart siding, energy-efficient windows, or fresh fascia—CountBricks can bundle scopes into a unified, real-time budget.
