San Francisco’s micro-climates, iconic architecture, and strict building codes create a unique challenge for anyone planning a window upgrade. CountBricks brings next-generation estimating technology and decades of residential craftsmanship together to deliver replacement windows San Francisco residents can count on for comfort, efficiency, and style.
When you speak with our AI estimator, CountBricks captures dimensions, wall assemblies, and trim details in real time. The platform instantly references the latest Bay Area material costs and labor rates, outputting a line-item proposal before the call ends.
Upload your PDF plans or snap photos of existing openings. CountBricks AI calculates rough-opening sizes, header requirements, and flashing details, eliminating manual measurement errors and accelerating approvals.

While the City rarely sees extreme heat, temperature swings between sunny afternoons and chilly evenings make insulation critical. Low-E, double-pane glass from CountBricks approved vendors cuts heat transfer by up to 30 %, keeping Victorians warm without overworking the furnace.
Old single-hung wood sashes can shatter during a quake. Our installation teams secure modern vinyl, fiberglass, or composite frames with flexible anchoring systems that absorb racking forces, protecting both glass and structure.
Cable cars and weekend festivals are part of the charm—until bedtime. Acoustic-rated IGUs (insulated glass units) dampen decibels by 26–35 dB. CountBricks specifies STC ratings right in your estimate, so you know the exact performance before purchase.
1. Voice Consultation: Discuss goals, styles, and budget while our AI builds the preliminary estimate.
2. Digital Site Scan: Field tech captures 3D scans for millimeter-level accuracy.
3. Final Proposal: You receive a fixed-price contract through CountBricks.com/portfolio for e-signature.
4. Permit Package: Our permit team prepares SFDBI forms, Title 24 calcs, and historic façade photos.
5. Installation Day: Certified crews remove old sashes, flash openings, set new units, and insulate gaps.
6. Performance Check: Infrared camera verifies seal integrity; data is uploaded to your CountBricks client portal.
7. Warranty & Maintenance Plan: Digital manuals and AI-powered reminders help extend window life.
• Vinyl: Budget-friendly, low maintenance, excellent thermal break
• Fiberglass: Superior strength for large view panes and minimal expansion
• Aluminum-clad wood: Preserves historic curb appeal with modern durability
• Dual-pane Low-E: Standard energy performance for most neighborhoods
• Triple-pane: Ideal for Richmond District fog and wind exposure
• Laminated acoustic glass: Best for homes along Market Street or near SFO flight paths
The San Francisco Planning Department often requires street-side elevations, color samples, and sightline diagrams—especially in landmark districts. CountBricks handles all submittals and attends hearings on your behalf, shortening approval cycles by an average of 17 days.
