Boston’s four-season climate puts every home exterior to the test. Driving rain, salty sea air, winter freeze–thaw cycles, and intense summer sun can all shorten the life of ordinary cladding. As the leading siding contractor Boston residents rely on, CountBricks delivers durable, energy-smart siding solutions backed by real-time AI estimating and field-tested craftsmanship.
• Moisture defense: Properly flashed and ventilated siding prevents rot and mold in New England’s humid summers.
• Thermal stability: Insulated panels reduce heat loss during nor’easters and keep AC bills low in July.
• Curb appeal: Fresh, architecturally aligned siding boosts resale value in Boston’s competitive housing market.
• Low maintenance: Modern fiber-cement, engineered wood, and high-gauge metal sidings cut repaint cycles by decades.
Traditional estimates can take days and often miss hidden labor or material costs. CountBricks compresses that timeline to minutes.
1. Voice-driven scope capture: On-site or over the phone, our project managers record dimensions, style preferences, and code constraints in real time.
2. AI estimate engine: The CountBricks platform matches your inputs to current Boston-area labor rates and material SKUs, producing an itemized proposal before we leave your driveway.
3. Blueprint takeoffs: Upload PDFs or photos of your plans to CountBricks.com/takeoffs and receive precision cut lists and waste factors within hours.
Boston homeowners tell us transparency is their top priority. Every CountBricks proposal includes:
• Material line items with brand, profile, and warranty length
• Labor hours separated by removal, install, and finish work
• Dumpster, permits, and disposal fees forecast to city code
• Schedule milestones with weather buffers built in
Fiber-Cement Lap
Resists salt spray from the harbor and accepts any paint color. Expect a 30-year manufacturer warranty and a 15-year ColorPlus finish when applied by CountBricks certified crews.
Engineered Wood
Real-wood texture with zinc borate treatment for fungal resistance. Perfect for historic districts where vinyl is restricted.
Premium Vinyl
Cost-effective, fade-resistant, and available in deep coastal hues popular in South Shore neighborhoods.
Architectural Metal Panels
Ideal for modern rowhouses and roof dormers. Aluminum or galvanized steel options shed snow and resist ice dams.
1. Site audit and moisture reading to locate hidden sheathing damage
2. Safe removal of existing siding with HEPA dust control
3. Sheathing repair and WRB installation to current MA energy code
4. Precision cutting and blind-nailing for clean lines and zero exposed fasteners
5. Detailed punch-list walkthrough and digital sign-off using the CountBricks mobile app

Schedule a no-pressure consultation at CountBricks.com/consultation or call our Boston office. In one visit you'll receive an AI-driven estimate, a material mood board, and a projected timeline that factors in local weather data. Discover why CountBricks is the only siding contractor Boston homeowners recommend to their neighbors.
The owners of a 19th-century brownstone near Tremont Street wanted to preserve historic charm while adding modern insulation. CountBricks recommended pre-finished fiber-cement clapboards with a 5-inch reveal to match the original pine siding.
• Pre-construction laser scans fed directly into the CountBricks platform, generating a 38-page cut sheet and reducing on-site waste by 12%.
• Our crew uncovered latent brick spalling behind the old siding. The AI estimate had already budgeted a 10% contingency, so cost overruns were minimal.
• By integrating 1-inch polyiso boards under the new panels, blower-door tests showed a 24% improvement in air tightness.
• Historic compliance doesn’t have to mean higher bills. Factory tints approved by local review boards can outlast field-applied paint by a decade.
• Allocate at least two days for unforeseen masonry or sheathing repairs in buildings older than 1940.
• Digital punch lists shared through CountBricks.com keep multi-stakeholder projects—owners, architects, inspectors—aligned and on schedule.
