If your coastal Portland home still sports drafty wood sash or aging vinyl, every Nor’easter is a stark reminder of energy slipping straight through the glass. CountBricks is here to change that. By pairing AI-driven takeoffs with real-time material pricing, we make replacing windows in Portland, Maine faster, clearer, and far more predictable for homeowners, remodelers and design-build firms.
Traditional quotes often rely on ballpark allowances and a few supplier phone calls. CountBricks turns guesswork into data. Our platform listens to your conversation, translates scope into line-item tasks, and pulls live pricing from regional distributors within seconds. That means:
• No hidden mark-ups sneaking in later
• Labor hours adjusted to Portland’s prevailing residential rates
• Immediate visibility into upgrade options such as triple-pane glass or composite frames
• You feel a steady draft even when windows are shut tight
• Paint peels or mildew forms on interior sills from condensation
• Heating bills spike each winter despite thermostat setbacks
• Sashes refuse to stay open or won’t lock securely
• Exterior noise from I-295 or busy neighborhoods seems to get louder every year
1. Voice-First Consultation – Hop on a phone or web call. As you describe your goals, CountBricks AI converts speech into a detailed scope and measurement set.
2. Real-Time Takeoff – The software references your blueprints or creates quick sketches, calculating rough openings down to the eighth of an inch.
3. Instant Estimate – Within minutes you receive a complete breakdown of products, quantities, labor, disposal and tax, all optimized for Portland’s building code and weather zone.
4. Digital Approval – Sign electronically and lock pricing for 30 days while products are ordered.
5. Pro Installation – Our certified crews install, insulate and trim out every unit, then submit completion photos back into your CountBricks project hub.
• Vinyl – Cost-effective, low maintenance and energy efficient for most residential builds. Advances in composite reinforcements now handle temperature swings common along Casco Bay.
• Fiberglass – Superior structural stability and slim frames maximize glass area; perfect for modern designs seeking expansive harbor views.
• Wood Clad – Historic districts in the West End or Deering Center may require wood sightlines. Aluminum or fiberglass cladding protects exteriors from salt spray while preserving interior charm.
Portland adopted the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC), which mandates U-Factor ≤ 0.30 for replacement windows in Climate Zone 6. CountBricks estimates automatically filter out products that don’t comply, protecting you from failed inspections. Our platform also flags Efficiency Maine rebates, often worth $40-$60 per qualifying window. We apply those savings directly to your invoice so you see the net price instantly.
A premium triple-pane window can perform worse than builder-grade glass if it’s shimmed or sealed incorrectly. CountBricks crews follow AAMA installation standards and photograph every step for quality control. Our AI checks that rough opening moisture levels are within tolerance before insulation goes in, ensuring long-term durability.
