Few home upgrades freshen a kitchen or bath faster than new cabinet hardware. Handles, pulls, and hinges may look minor, yet they drive both style and function. For San Diego homeowners, the challenge has always been juggling design choices, local material costs, and reliable installation crews. CountBricks closes that gap by merging voice-enabled AI estimating with a vetted network of residential craftspeople. The result is accurate pricing, faster timelines, and finishes that elevate any coastal living space.
Visual impact • Modern hardware reshapes dated cabinetry without a full tear-out
Functionality • Soft-close hinges and ergonomic pulls improve daily use and extend cabinet life
Resale value • Small aesthetic upgrades boost perceived quality for prospective buyers
1. Brushed brass against white shaker doors for a warm beach-modern vibe
2. Matte black bar pulls paired with rift-sawn oak cabinetry in contemporary builds
3. Seamless edge pulls on high-gloss Euro cabinets favored in coastal condos

Marine air considerations • Coastal humidity demands corrosion-resistant coatings like PVD or stainless steel.
Permit thresholds • While hardware swaps rarely require permits, concurrent electrical or plumbing upgrades may trigger city review.
Home age • Mid-century bungalows often have non-standard cabinet thickness, requiring specialty screws and drilling templates.
• Always measure center-to-center spacing twice; vintage cabinets can drift by millimeters.
• Use a cabinet hardware jig to maintain perfect alignment on multi-unit installs.
• Pre-drill hardwood doors at 3/32" to prevent splitting, especially in reclaimed lumber.
• Choose 8-32 machine screws at least 1/8" longer than door thickness for secure threading.
• Apply thread-locking compound on seaside properties to combat vibration from coastal winds.

Can I supply my own pulls? Yes. Upload the SKU during estimating so labor and fastener adjustments are accurate.
