Homeowners across the Willamette Valley are upgrading kitchens, laundry rooms, and outdoor living spaces faster than ever. Yet many discover too late that appliance installation is more than plugging in a unit—electrical loads, venting, plumbing, cabinetry, permitting, and finish carpentry all play a role. CountBricks brings an integrated, technology-driven approach that eliminates surprise costs and delivers flawless results.
Traditional estimates often rely on outdated price books or guesswork. CountBricks leverages real-time voice capture on site to generate itemized estimates in minutes. Labor rates, current material pricing, and task durations are pulled from our dynamic Oregon cost database, giving Salem homeowners and remodelers immediate clarity.
• Voice-guided walkthroughs ensure nothing is missed, from breaker panel upgrades to countertop cutbacks
• Automatic code compliance checks align with City of Salem building regulations
• Instant change-order recalculations keep budgets controlled even when scope evolves
1. Electric cooktop swaps that require new 240-V circuits
2. Downdraft range installations needing dedicated duct runs and roof cap flashing
3. Smart refrigerator upgrades demanding GFCI receptacles and Wi-Fi boosters
4. Laundry relocations with plumbing stub-ins and dryer vent rerouting
5. Outdoor kitchen additions integrating weatherproof outlets and gas conversion kits
Each scenario presents unique challenges. CountBricks field teams receive task-specific checklists generated from your custom estimate, ensuring every detail is delivered to spec.
Blueprint Takeoffs: Upload PDFs or snap photos of your floor plan. CountBricks AI measures cabinet openings, electrical runs, and vent paths, so our installers arrive with the right materials and anchors.
Scheduling Automation: Once the estimate is approved, our platform scans installer availability, lead-times for specialty parts, and local inspection calendars to lock in the fastest path to completion.
On-Site Execution: • Licensed electricians handle circuitry and panel balancing
• Journeyman plumbers set box heights and trap primers
• Carpenters scribe fillers, end panels, and mouldings for a factory finish
Real-Time Reporting: Homeowners receive photo updates and milestone alerts through the CountBricks client portal, so you always know what’s happening behind the drywall.
• Historic homes in neighborhoods like Fairmount often need panel upgrades to 200 amps
• High water tables can complicate venting on slab-on-grade builds
• Energy Trust of Oregon rebates may offset induction cooktop costs but require specific documentation—generated automatically by CountBricks estimates
The City of Salem requires electrical, mechanical, or plumbing permits depending on the appliance class. CountBricks submits digital permit packets directly through the ePermitting portal, schedules inspections, and incorporates inspector notes back into the project timeline without delaying your move-in date.
• Confirm appliance dimensions against rough openings before cabinets are ordered
• Reserve countertop cutouts until appliances arrive to avoid costly recuts
• Upgrade breakers to AFCI/GFCI dual-function devices for added protection
• Plan a dedicated shutoff valve for gas ranges to simplify future maintenance
• Photograph serial numbers and upload them to CountBricks.com/portfolio for warranty tracking
A 1970s rambler in South Salem required removal of an aging coil cooktop and installation of a 36-inch induction unit. CountBricks AI identified that the existing 30-amp circuit would overload. Within minutes, the homeowner received an updated estimate adding a 50-amp breaker, 8-gauge NM cable, and attic fishing labor—avoiding a mid-project surprise. The entire retrofit, including drywall patch and tile backsplash repair, wrapped in two days with zero cost overruns.
