A cracked foundation, moldy attic, or ruined landscaping can often be traced back to failing gutters. In residential construction, few line items carry as much hidden liability as water management. Yet many homeowners still accept ballpark figures scribbled on a pad of paper. CountBricks changes that. By pairing an AI-driven seamless gutter cost estimator with real-time voice capture, CountBricks turns uncertain allowances into accurate, defensible numbers—before a single downspout is ordered.
• $3,000–$10,000 to repair a basement after moderate flooding.
• 15% drop in curb appeal when fascia and siding stain from overflow.
• Increased insurance premiums after repeated moisture claims.
A dependable estimator protects not only the ledger but the long-term value of the home.
• Static price books that lag behind fast-moving metal markets.
• Hand measurements prone to error when fascia boards aren’t perfectly square.
• Disconnected workflows that force contractors to re-key figures into separate invoicing software.
The result is surprise change orders and customer frustration. CountBricks streamlines the entire chain—from on-site measurement to final invoice—inside one cloud platform.
Unlike generic spreadsheets, CountBricks pulls live pricing from regional suppliers and local labor markets. The moment aluminum coil, hangers, end caps, or splash blocks fluctuate in cost, the estimator reflects the change in your project budget. Homeowners see exactly where every dollar goes, and contractors protect their margins.
Talk through your walkthrough. As you call out eave lengths or note an extra downspout on the east elevation, CountBricks transcribes and applies those numbers automatically. No clipboard. No typos.
CountBricks connects to regional vendor APIs. Whether you install 5-inch K-style or 6-inch half-round copper, you receive live per-foot rates, waste factors, and crew productivity benchmarks right inside the estimate.
Upload PDFs or images from a phone and let CountBricks trace roof edges, valley drops, and downspout paths. Our AI takeoff engine converts those lines into linear footage, downspout counts, and accessory lists in seconds.
1. Create a new project inside your CountBricks dashboard and select “Seamless Gutters.”
2. Speak or type roofline dimensions, number of corners, and preferred gutter profile.
3. Upload a blueprint or snap photos; CountBricks auto-confirms measurements.
4. Review live material and labor breakdowns—including taxes and permit fees—generated by the seamless gutter cost estimator.
5. Click “Generate Quote” to produce a branded PDF ready for e-signature and payment scheduling.
• Linear footage: More edge equals more coil, hangers, and time on ladders.
• Material type: Aluminum stays affordable, while copper can triple line-item totals.
• Story height: Second-story work requires additional safety gear and labor hours.
• Roof complexity: Multiple valleys and dormers increase corner miters and downspout drops.
• Disposal: Tear-off and haul-away fees vary by municipality.
• Forgetting downspout extensions: The estimator auto-calculates required lengths to keep water away from foundations.
• Ignoring permit costs: CountBricks’ database flags jurisdictions that enforce gutter permits and adds exact fees.
• Underestimating fascia repair: If rot is detected during the voice walkthrough, the platform suggests provisional carpentry allowances.
• Overlooking seasonal labor surcharges: Our AI adjusts rates for high-demand months, preventing sticker shock later.

A recent CountBricks client, the Ramirez family, owned a 1920s Colonial in Boston’s Back Bay. Their cedar gutters were leaking, and every contractor they called provided wildly different ballpark figures. Frustrated, they insisted on an estimate generated through CountBricks.
• 148 linear feet of fascia across two stories
• 3 dormers, 12 inside corners, and limited ladder access on the narrow side yard
• Client requested 6-inch aluminum K-style in white with leaf guard screens
1. The contractor opened the CountBricks mobile app, walked the perimeter, and spoke dimensions. The AI converted voice notes to precise linear footage.
2. Blueprint photos were uploaded, allowing the seamless gutter cost estimator to verify dormer edges the ladder could not safely reach during the walkthrough.
3. Live supplier APIs returned up-to-the-minute coil pricing, revealing a 4% discount on white aluminum that had dropped overnight—savings immediately passed to the client.
4. CountBricks auto-populated Boston’s gutter permit fee and scheduled it under “Municipal Costs.”
5. Within 20 minutes, a branded PDF quote hit the Ramirez inbox. They e-signed the same day, and the contractor ordered materials through CountBricks’ integrated purchase order system.
• 12% cost reduction compared with the average of previous paper estimates
• Zero change orders issued during installation
• Project completed two days ahead of schedule because labor hours were accurately forecasted
