Portland’s climate swings from damp winters to warm, dry summers. That moisture fluctuation makes choosing the right drywall—commonly called “sheetrock”—critical for long-lasting residential finishes. CountBricks understands the local conditions and uses moisture-resistant gypsum boards, proper vapor barriers, and precision installation techniques to keep interior walls straight, smooth, and mold-free.
Traditional drywall bids can take days. CountBricks compresses that timeline to minutes by combining live voice capture with our estimating engine. As you walk the jobsite and describe square footage, ceiling heights, or special curved walls, our platform builds the scope in real time—complete with Portland-specific material pricing and labor costs. The result is a clear, itemized estimate you can approve on the spot.
1. Speak with a CountBricks project specialist on site or via video.
2. The AI records measurements, room counts, and complexity factors.
3. Local material costs for sheetrock Portland Oregon are pulled instantly.
4. Labor crews, travel time, and waste factors are calculated.
5. A branded PDF estimate and schedule hits your inbox before you leave the driveway.
Not every wall needs the same board. CountBricks specifies products based on room function, code requirements, and homeowner priorities.
• Standard 1/2" gypsum for bedrooms and living areas
• Fire-rated Type X for attached garages or shared townhouse walls
• Mold & moisture-resistant board for bathrooms, basements, and kitchens
• Abuse-resistant panels for busy mudrooms or playrooms
Our AI estimator flags each location and automatically swaps in the correct board, so nothing is missed during procurement.
Skilled hanging and taping crews are only part of the equation. We preload every team with project data from CountBricks.com/services, so they arrive knowing:
• Exact board counts and cut plans
• Stud layout confirmed from blueprint takeoffs
• Required fastener spacing for seismic compliance
• Optimal joint placement to reduce finishing labor
This forethought lowers waste, speeds production, and delivers walls that require less sanding—saving you both material and painter hours.
Excess humidity can lead to joint ridging, popped screws, and mold growth. CountBricks combats these risks by:
• Specifying proper insulation and vapor retarders based on wall orientation
• Scheduling board delivery only after framing moisture drops below 15%
• Running commercial dehumidifiers during tape & mud stages when needed
• Using setting-type compounds for initial coats to shorten cure times
Our AI platform coordinates drywall installation dates with electrical rough-in, HVAC ducting, and plumbing inspections. Automatic notifications keep every subcontractor aligned, preventing costly re-work if walls go up before final sign-off.
1. Day 1: Materials arrive and counted against the digital takeoff.
2. Days 2-3: Hanging crews complete ceilings first, then walls.
3. Days 4-5: Taping, initial mud, corner beads, and first sanding pass.
4. Day 6: Finish coat, texture application if specified, final sanding.
5. Day 7: Quality walk-through with GC/homeowner, punch list addressed.
CountBricks tracks regional pricing weekly, so your estimate reflects true market conditions. Key drivers include:
• Board type and thickness
• Ceiling height above 9 feet
• Archways, radius walls, or specialty soffits
• Level 5 finish requirements for high-gloss paint
• Downtown delivery surcharges and parking constraints
Because our software ties each cost to a measurable task or material, you can adjust scope on the fly and watch the total update instantly—no surprise overruns.
Every CountBricks sheetrock project undergoes a three-stage inspection documented in the client portal:
• Post-hang fastener and joint review
• Pre-texture flatness laser scan
• Final light check under 500-lux lamps
We stand behind our work with a one-year crack-free guarantee. If any joint tape lifts or screws pop, CountBricks crews return to repair at no cost.

A 1926 Craftsman in Laurelhurst needed a full basement finish—2,100 sq ft of new living space with 9-foot ceilings. The homeowner worried about Portland’s groundwater and potential mold. CountBricks ran an AI takeoff in 12 minutes, specifying mold-resistant sheetrock and a rigid foam thermal break behind every panel.
• Estimate accepted same day, shaving a week off the schedule
• Custom cut list reduced board waste to under 4%
• Digital moisture tracking kept framing at 12% before hang
• Level 5 finish on media room walls achieved with two coats instead of three
The project finished four days early. Post-completion humidity tests showed zero elevated readings, and the homeowner reported noticeably improved acoustics—thanks to strategically placed sound-attenuating sheetrock identified by our estimator.
• Order boards in 54-inch widths for 9-foot ceilings to eliminate horizontal joints and speed finishing.
• Use paper-faced metal beads on outside corners for sharper lines that resist impact in busy family spaces.
• Request a CountBricks laser flatness scan before painting; correcting imperfections early costs one-third as much as post-prime repairs.
Whether you’re framing an ADU in Sellwood or gut-remodeling a Victorian in Nob Hill, CountBricks has a sheetrock solution tuned to Portland’s codes and weather. Visit CountBricks.com/services to explore full-service packages or call for a same-day on-site estimate.
