Few upgrades refresh a Cleveland home faster than a brand-new shower stall. Whether you are replacing an outdated fiberglass enclosure or converting a bathtub into a sleek walk-in, CountBricks delivers precision estimates, ideal material selections, and on-time installations. This in-depth guide walks Ohio homeowners, remodelers, and design-build teams through every stage of a shower stall Cleveland project—powered by the speed and accuracy of CountBricks.com.
Cleveland’s housing stock spans classic century properties in Ohio City to newer builds in the suburbs. In both cases, today’s buyers expect spa-level bathrooms. Frameless glass, large-format tile, and curb-less entries drive resale value while supporting aging-in-place goals. The challenge is accurately forecasting costs before demolition begins. CountBricks solves that challenge with real-time voice capture, AI blueprint takeoffs, and current local labor rates.
Every successful renovation starts with a clear scope. Decide whether you need:
• A cosmetic refresh with new doors and fixtures
• A full gut down to studs with waterproofing and tile
• Accessibility upgrades, such as grab bars or bench seating
Share these goals during your first voice call, and CountBricks auto-populates line items in seconds.
Upload existing floor plans or snap smartphone photos. CountBricks AI converts dimensions into a detailed 3D takeoff, calculating square footage of wall tile, membrane, and glass panels with 98% accuracy. Fewer surprises mean tighter bids and fewer change orders.
Once measurements are set, our database pulls Cleveland-specific material pricing and union/non-union labor rates. Homeowners receive tiered options—economy, mid-range, and luxury—allowing smart trade-offs before contracts are signed. View live numbers at CountBricks.com/services.

Here’s how our team delivered a safer, modern space—on time and within 2% of the original estimate.
• Scope: Convert 5' tub alcove to curb-less shower stall with bench
• Turnaround: 16 calendar days, including custom glass
• Budget: $12,450 initial estimate, $12,700 final invoice (fixture upgrade chosen by owner)

3. Permitting & Inspection: Local coordinators filed digital permits and scheduled city inspections directly from the CountBricks dashboard, cutting two days of admin lag.
