Portland’s mild summers invite you to keep the front door open, but the city’s famous bugs often have other plans. A high-quality retractable or traditional screen door lets fresh air in while keeping pests out—yet the installation must be absolutely square, secure, and weather-ready to perform. That is where CountBricks sets the bar for excellence.
The average Portland home loses up to 30 % of conditioned air through poorly fitted entryways. A professionally installed screen door reduces drafts, maintains indoor comfort, and extends the lifespan of your primary door assembly. CountBricks pairs field-tested craftsmanship with AI-driven estimating to ensure you receive the right product, at the right price, right now.
Traditional bid processes can take days of back-and-forth emails. With CountBricks voice-enabled software, you simply describe the scope—“single retractable screen door, Craftsman-style frame, 36 × 80 opening”—and our AI builds a complete materials and labor breakdown in seconds. All cost data pulls from live supplier feeds across the Portland metro, so you lock in current market pricing before crews arrive.

Portlanders love vintage architecture—Craftsman bungalows, mid-century ranches, and the occasional Victorian. Each style brings unique jamb depths, trim profiles, and sill slopes. CountBricks’ database adjusts for these subtleties automatically, flagging any custom milling or shimming before the crew orders materials. The result: zero surprise change orders and a doorstep that retains its historic charm.
While screen doors themselves are not part of Portland’s residential energy code, their integration with weather-stripping, thresholds, and storm assemblies absolutely is. CountBricks installers verify clearances to meet Title 24 air leakage standards and City of Portland setback rules, so your permit inspection is a breeze.
• Ask for a pet-grade mesh insert if you own energetic dogs; it is five times stronger than standard fiberglass
• Consider a low-profile pneumatic closer for kids’ safety and quieter operation
• Request color-matched fastener heads—small detail, huge curb-appeal impact
• Schedule installs between November and February for the most flexible crew calendars and potential off-season discounts
A 1926 bungalow near NE 26th Ave required a custom cedar screen door with stained glass cut-out. Using CountBricks AI takeoff tools, we captured the non-standard 33 ⅜ × 79 ⅝ opening, routed the arch top in our shop, and delivered a perfect fit in one visit. The homeowner reports a 4 °F drop in indoor temperature during summer afternoons without raising the AC—proof that smart airflow saves energy.
