Denver’s housing market is booming and so is demand for modern, water-efficient bathrooms. Whether you are refreshing an outdated tub/shower combo or building a spa-like retreat from scratch, getting an accurate, fast estimate is the first step. CountBricks specializes in residential shower installation + Denver projects, combining local cost data with our real-time AI estimating engine to give homeowners and contractors instant clarity on price, materials, and timeline.
Thanks to Denver’s labor rates, high-altitude plumbing codes, and dramatic temperature swings, shower installs can range from $4,500 for a prefabricated stall replacement to $18,000+ for custom tile, frameless glass, and upgraded fixtures. CountBricks pulls live material pricing from trusted suppliers and matches it with the latest trade labor averages so your estimate is never a guess.
• Fixture grade: chrome pressure-balance valves cost less than thermostatic brass sets
• Surface choice: acrylic panels are economical, while porcelain slab and natural stone add premium dollars
• Glass style: framed doors reduce cost; low-iron frameless glass raises both material and install labor
• Plumbing relocation: moving drains or supply lines behind finished walls increases hours and permits
• Specialty upgrades: built-in benches, steam units, and linear drains elevate both complexity and price
Traditional estimating involves site visits, handwritten notes, and spreadsheets. CountBricks replaces all of that with an interactive voice conversation. Talk through dimensions, fixture preferences, and finish selections on your phone—our platform converts every word into an itemized estimate, task list, and schedule in real time.
1. Speak your vision: Describe the existing bath and desired upgrade in everyday language
2. Review instant line-items: Materials, labor, permits, and contingency populate while you talk
3. Fine-tune on the fly: Change from subway tile to large-format slab and watch the numbers update live
4. Approve and sign: Generate a branded quote document and e-sign within the same interface
5. Track progress: Our dashboard syncs tasks, deliveries, and invoices so nothing slips
• Porcelain slab walls: Minimal grout, easy maintenance, mountain-modern aesthetic
• Matte black fixtures: Strong contrast against light tile, pairs well with Colorado rustic styles
• Low-iron glass: Crystal-clear edges let natural light from high-altitude sun flood the enclosure
• Digital thermostatic valves: Precise temperature control—no more guessing on cold winter mornings
Denver requires permits for any plumbing relocation or electrical work inside a wet area. CountBricks auto-flags permit items during the estimating conversation and adds city fees plus inspection appointments to your schedule. Because our database is updated weekly with Denver Building Department revisions, compliance is built-in rather than an afterthought.
• Order glass only after tile layout is complete—mile-high humidity changes can affect final measurements
• Insulate supply lines on exterior walls to prevent freeze-thaw issues during winter cold snaps
• Choose slip-resistant floor tile with a DCOF rating above 0.42 for safety
• Upgrade to a pressure-balanced valve if your home experiences frequent water pressure fluctuations
• Use a penetrating sealer on natural stone to combat Denver’s mineral-rich water
Our AI blueprint takeoff tool reads your bathroom plan, marks wall elevations, and calculates tile square footage in seconds—no more manual counts. Combined with live supplier feeds and automatic labor crews, your numbers stay accurate even when material prices shift. The result: fewer change orders, tighter schedules, and happier clients.

A recent CountBricks client in Denver’s Sloan’s Lake neighborhood wanted a curbless shower with floor-to-ceiling porcelain slab and matte black fixtures. Using our voice estimating feature, the homeowner described the 5' x 4' footprint, desired rainfall head, and linear drain. Within four minutes, CountBricks produced a 23-line estimate showing:
• Material total: $6,850 (porcelain slab, Schluter waterproofing, low-iron glass)
• Labor total: $5,200 (demolition, plumbing relocation, tile setting, glazing)
• Permits/inspections: $285 auto-calculated from current Denver fee table
• Contingency: 10% pre-loaded per project complexity rating
The client approved electronically, triggering our AI blueprint takeoff. CountBricks detected 112 square feet of vertical tile and 22 square feet of shower floor area, ordering materials with a 7% overage for waste. Because supplier pricing updates hourly inside the platform, we locked in porcelain before an announced increase, saving the homeowner $470.
• Early digital takeoffs prevent costly mid-project material shortages
• Real-time voice adjustments let clients upgrade finishes without stalling schedules
• Automatic contingencies reduce the likelihood of change orders and disputes
