The average homeowner in San Antonio spends anywhere from $8 to $18 per linear foot on new gutters. That’s a wide spread, and it can leave contractors and homeowners alike guessing. CountBricks eliminates the guesswork by generating voice-driven, real-time estimates that pull the latest materials pricing and local labor rates into a single, shareable document.
San Antonio’s subtropical climate brings heavy rain events and long stretches of heat. Those conditions affect both the materials you select and the speed at which crews can work. CountBricks factors weather buffers, regional wage data, and supply availability into every gutter estimate so you can:
• Avoid mid-project budget overruns
• Order the proper hangers, downspouts, and sealants on the first purchase
• Schedule installs when labor productivity is highest
1. Material type: Aluminum, galvanized steel, copper, and seamless aluminum each carry their own price per foot.
2. House perimeter: The total linear feet of eaves determines how much gutter is required.
3. Story count: Single-story installs are faster; two-story homes require additional safety gear and crew time.
4. Roof complexity: Valleys, dormers, and steep pitches add labor minutes that add up quickly.
5. Disposal fees: Removing and hauling away old gutters can add $1–$2 per foot if not planned for.
Standard 5" aluminum sectional gutters
• $8–$11 per linear foot installed
Seamless 6" aluminum gutters
• $11–$14 per linear foot installed
Copper or premium steel systems
• $20–$30+ per linear foot installed
These figures include typical hardware, downspouts every 35 linear feet, and basic splash blocks. CountBricks updates these numbers daily inside the platform, so your proposals always reflect street-level pricing.
1. Voice capture: Walk the perimeter while speaking dimensions, roof notes, and client preferences into your phone.
2. Instant takeoff: CountBricks AI converts speech to a detailed blueprint overlay with linear footage calculated in real time.
3. Live pricing: The system pings local suppliers for current gutter coil and hanger costs.
4. Labor calibration: Regional wage tables adjust crew hours based on San Antonio averages.
5. Branded proposal: A ready-to-send PDF with itemized scope, options, and payment schedule is produced in under five minutes.
• Leaf guards: Add $4–$7 per linear foot but save future maintenance trips.
• Larger downspouts: Increase cost by roughly $50 per drop but improve drainage on heavy-rain roofs.
• Rainwater collection: Diverter valves and barrels add $200–$500 to most projects.
CountBricks lets you toggle each upgrade on or off while standing with the homeowner, instantly showing the new total on your phone or tablet.
• Offer a color-matched fascia wrap to upsell profits while protecting wood trim.
• Schedule installs between late October and early March when San Antonio temperatures are milder, reducing labor hours.
• Use CountBricks bulk-buy alerts to lock in coil pricing before seasonal spikes.
• Bundle gutter cleaning for the first year at contract signing to secure recurring revenue.
• Document every downspout location in the CountBricks photo log to avoid change-order disputes.
• Ordering sectional gutters for spans longer than 40 feet, leading to leaks and callbacks.
• Skipping pre-painted screws; corrosion can void manufacturer warranties.
• Underestimating ladder setup time on multi-story homes.
CountBricks flags these oversights during estimate creation, saving contractors expensive do-overs.

In spring 2024, a CountBricks certified contractor tackled a 220-linear-foot seamless aluminum install on San Antonio’s North Side. Using traditional methods, the bid prep would have taken half a day. Instead, the crew chief completed the following in under fifteen minutes:
1. Voice-recorded the perimeter walk, capturing linear footage and noting two steep roof planes.
2. Selected 6" K-style seamless aluminum with leaf protection and oversized downspouts.
3. Reviewed AI-generated labor hours automatically adjusted for a two-story façade.
4. Sent the homeowner an e-signature proposal from the driveway.
The AI estimate priced the job at $12.80 per foot, including upgrades—within 3% of final actual cost after completion. The contractor secured the deposit on site and finished installation two weeks later, reporting a 22% increase in gross margin compared to similar jobs quoted the previous year.
• Sync CountBricks with your accounting software so material POs auto-populate when the client signs.
• Set threshold alerts: If aluminum coil jumps more than 5%, the system prompts you to update open bids.
• Use the blueprint overlay to pre-stage downspout drop zones, reducing ladder moves and labor fatigue.
