No two bathrooms are alike, and no city balances historic charm with modern lifestyles quite like Columbus. When it is time to replace shower Columbus homeowners face a maze of design choices, code requirements, and budget questions. CountBricks brings clarity by combining decades of residential craft with real-time AI estimating, blueprint takeoffs, and voice-driven project management. The result is a faster, more predictable renovation from demo day to the first warm rinse.
• Leaks behind outdated tile threatening structural framing
• A need for universal design or aging-in-place features
• Desire for spa-level finishes that boost resale value
• Converting a tub to a walk-in to free up square footage
• Mold and grout failure from hard-water buildup
Traditional contractors still walk the site, jot numbers on a legal pad, then disappear for days before sending a ballpark figure. That delay compounds when material prices swing weekly and municipal permit fees vary by neighborhood. Homeowners lose confidence, and projects stall.
