Anchorage’s dramatic climate is tough on windows. Between icy winters, long summer days, and sudden windstorms, residential glass can chip, crack, or lose its seal faster than in milder regions. When that happens, energy bills climb, comfort drops, and curb appeal suffers. CountBricks is here to solve the problem with AI-driven estimates, real-time material pricing, and local installation crews that know Anchorage neighborhoods inside and out.
Homeowners usually start with one big question: “How much will replacement glass cost me?” Traditional contractors take days to answer. CountBricks gives you numbers in minutes.
• Real-time pricing pulls updated glass, frame, and sealant costs from our supplier database.
• AI voice capture lets you walk through the house with your phone while CountBricks generates measurements and quantities.
• Labor rates are localized to Anchorage, reflecting seasonal demand and certified glazing expertise.
• Broken panes after wind-blown debris
• Failed double-pane seals causing condensation
• Cracked patio doors from temperature swings
• Fogged skylights reducing natural light
Replacing damaged or outdated glass isn’t just about aesthetics. New Low-E and argon-filled units installed by CountBricks crews can slash heating costs up to 30 %. Over five Anchorage winters, the savings easily offset the initial investment.

• Upgrade frames while replacing panes; combining tasks cuts overall labor by 20 %.
