When the time comes to replace a sink, Austin homeowners face two pressing questions: How much will it cost and who can they trust? CountBricks answers both in minutes. Our AI-powered voice platform captures your exact needs, pulls live material pricing, and generates a full labor and materials estimate while you speak. What once took days of phone calls now happens before your coffee gets cold.
Local experience – Our residential crews know every nuance of Austin’s plumbing codes and water-saving ordinances.
Realtime pricing – CountBricks software connects to supplier inventories across Travis County, ensuring you lock in the best rate on fixtures, valves, and finish trim.
One-click documents – Estimates, invoices, change orders, and warranty packets are generated automatically and branded for your project.
• Fixture quality – From builder-grade stainless to artisan fireclay, fixture cost can swing 40% of the total budget.
• Countertop modifications – Cutting or patching solid-surface tops adds labor and potentially requires a re-seal.
• Plumbing access – Austin’s pier-and-beam homes often hide corroded galv lines that need upgrading.
• Disposal or accessory installs – Adding an instant hot, RO filter, or disposal changes both plumbing and electrical scope.
• Permit needs – Although most sink swaps are “like-for-like,” moving supply lines more than 6” could trigger a City of Austin plumbing permit.
Because every home is unique, CountBricks produces dynamic pricing instead of ballpark ranges. That said, typical projects fall into three tiers:
1. Basic upgrade: $550 – $900 (drop-in stainless, minimal countertop work)
2. Midrange refresh: $900 – $1,750 (undermount composite, new faucet, minor lumber backing)
3. Premium overhaul: $1,750 – $3,500+ (fireclay apron front, disposer, supply line relocation)
These numbers reflect labor, demo, disposal, rough-in, finish connections, and full clean-up. Tax and permit fees vary by neighborhood.
1. Voice Scope: Using our mobile app, describe your sink goals. Snap a photo, speak your wish list, and our AI logs every spec.
2. Instant Takeoff: CountBricks algorithms measure the opening and required clearances directly from your image.
3. Live Pricing: The platform surfaces real-time costs from approved Austin suppliers and bundles plumbing parts, sealants, and trim.
4. Same-Day Quote: Within minutes you receive a PDF proposal, Gantt timeline, and payment schedule. Approve with a tap.
5. White-Glove Install: Our licensed plumbers arrive on schedule, complete the work, haul away debris, and issue a digital warranty record.
• Stainless steel: Durable and budget-friendly, ideal for rental properties.
• Granite composite: Heat- and scratch-resistant, available in matte colors that match modern Austin décor.
• Fireclay: Classic farmhouse appeal with a lifetime glaze warranty.
• Cast iron enamel: Heavy yet timeless, perfect for vintage Clarksville bungalows.
Our built-in risk engine flags line items that historically trigger change orders. If your countertop is 1-¼” quartz, the software adds specialized clamps automatically. If the voice transcript mentions a garbage disposal, the estimate inserts a 20-amp dedicated outlet check. By anticipating hiccups up front, CountBricks keeps your final invoice aligned with the first quote.

When the Ramirez family purchased a 1990s home near Onion Creek, their first priority was to trade a tired drop-in sink for a sleek apron-front fireclay model. They opened the CountBricks app, snapped photos, and answered a two-minute voice questionnaire. Within eight minutes the AI generated a 14-line estimate, complete with:
• Fireclay farmhouse sink at live supplier price
• Custom quartz cut-out allowance
• 1½” schedule-40 PVC reconfiguration
• Garbage disposal reconnection kit
The project totaled $1,965 and included a same-day plumbing permit. CountBricks scheduled install for the following Friday.
1. Demo & Countertop Cut: Our crew removed the old sink, shimmed the cabinet, and templated the quartz opening.
2. Plumbing Upgrade: Galvanized stub-outs were swapped for PEX with quarter-turn valves, boosting water pressure by 12%.
3. Precision Installation: The 36” fireclay basin was seated with low-VOC silicone and tested for level across all planes.
4. Final Inspection: City inspector signed off in 10 minutes; photos auto-uploaded to CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Plan for weight: Fireclay and cast iron can weigh 120+ lbs. CountBricks reinforces cabinets as part of the base price.
• Think ahead: Upgrading faucets later may require larger supply lines. Specify future fixtures during the voice intake.
• Go green: Choose WaterSense faucets and let CountBricks file the rebate paperwork.
