The moment a toilet leaks, tile cracks, or outdated fixtures drag down a property’s value, homeowners jump online and type “replace bathroom cost.” They want dollars-and-cents answers—fast. At CountBricks, we translate that urgency into clear, data-driven estimates. By combining real-time materials pricing, AI blueprint takeoffs, and voice-to-quote technology, our residential construction clients can deliver accurate numbers while still standing in the client’s bathroom.
Each bathroom is a unique ecosystem of plumbing, finishes, and space constraints. CountBricks software tracks the variables that matter most:
• Scope: Full gut remodel versus fixture swap dramatically shifts labor hours and disposal fees
• Size: Powder rooms average 25–35 sq. ft.; primary baths often double that—twice the tile, twice the underlayment
• Grade of finishes: Builder-grade acrylic tubs versus cast-iron soaking tubs can swing materials totals by 300 %
• Plumbing complexity: Moving a toilet 3 feet may require jack-hammering concrete, rerouting vent stacks, and city inspection fees
• Geographic labor index: CountBricks pulls labor rates by ZIP code, so Baton Rouge homeowners aren’t paying New York City mark-ups
• Cosmetic refresh (fixtures + paint): $4,500–$9,000
• Mid-range replacement (new tub, tile surround, vanity): $11,000–$18,000
• High-end overhaul (layout change, luxury finishes): $22,000–$40,000+
1. Voice Capture: Speak scope details into your phone while you’re on site. Our AI converts speech to structured tasks.
2. Smart Assemblies: CountBricks libraries pair each task with default material and labor allowances you can tweak on the fly.
3. Real-Time Pricing: We pull local supplier pricing feeds every hour, ensuring your tile and faucet numbers stay current.
4. Blueprint Takeoffs: Upload PDFs or smartphone scans and let the AI measure floor area, wall tile square footage, and linear feet of trim.
5. Instant Proposal: Generate a branded PDF or interactive link that breaks down labor, material, overhead, and profit—ready for e-signature.
Homeowners love options. CountBricks pros present budget tiers, making it easy to upsell finishes or scale back scope without losing the job:
• Value engineering: Swap imported stone for large-format porcelain that mimics marble at half the cost
• Reuse plumbing locations: Moving supply and waste lines usually adds $2,000–$4,000 to small baths
• Prefab shower bases: Shave off two framing days and one waterproofing inspection
• Off-peak scheduling: Weekday work can cut labor premiums compared to weekend rush requests
A Baton Rouge homeowner wanted to upgrade a 1990s primary bath. Using CountBricks.com/services, the contractor recorded the walkthrough and uploaded the existing blueprint. Within 12 minutes the AI produced:

• Asbestos or lead abatement in pre-1978 homes
• Permit fees and required inspections
• Temporary facilities if the residence has only one bath
