Roof size and complexity
1. Total roof area determines base material quantity
2. Valleys, hips, dormers, and penetrations add labor time and trim pieces
Material selection
• Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential choice in Austin for their balance of durability and cost
• Metal standing seam commands a higher upfront price but offers energy savings and 40+ year life expectancy
• Clay or concrete tile gives classic Hill Country style yet requires reinforced framing and expert installation
Access and tear-off
• One-story ranch homes allow rapid staging of materials
• Steep-slope two-story residences need additional fall protection and lift equipment
• Multiple roof layers increase disposal fees and labor hours
Austin’s rapid growth means roofing crews and materials book up fast. An under-quoted project can stall if prices rise mid-job. CountBricks solves this by locking estimates to real-time supplier feeds from the moment you speak. Homeowners and contractors gain confidence that the price won’t drift between signing and start date.

An Austin remodeler used CountBricks to quote a 2,400-square-foot bungalow with a 6/12 pitch. The AI takeoff identified 72 bundles of Class 4 shingles, 10 squares of synthetic underlayment, and 220 linear feet of ridge vent. Labor hours were calibrated to a three-person crew over two days. The remodeler secured homeowner approval within 24 hours and completed the job on budget, attributing a 15% time savings to CountBricks automated paperwork.
