South Texas heat is relentless, and McAllen’s humid subtropical climate demands an insulation system that performs in triple–digit temperatures. Spray foam insulation delivers unrivaled thermal resistance, air sealing, and moisture control—three essentials for year-round comfort and lower utility bills. At CountBricks, we combine AI-powered estimating with certified installation crews to make upgrading your home simple, transparent, and cost-effective.
Traditional estimating often relies on manual takeoffs and rough allowances. CountBricks replaces the guesswork with:
• Realtime voice-to-estimate capture: Walk your attic with our mobile app and describe conditions; our AI translates speech into a detailed line-item bid.
• Live materials feeds: Pricing updates every 15 minutes, so your proposal reflects today’s spray foam cost per board foot—no surprises later.
• Instant scope adjustments: Change R-value, closed-cell vs. open-cell, or add fire-retardant coatings and the total refreshes in seconds.
• Auto-generated quote PDFs: Brand-ready documents pulled straight from your session, ready for signature.
1. Open-cell foam: Light density, expands up to 100×, excellent for sound dampening, ideal for interior walls and roof decks.
2. Closed-cell foam: Higher density, structural rigidity, superior vapor barrier, perfect for McAllen’s humid exterior walls and crawl spaces.
1. AI Blueprint Takeoff: Upload your plans or voice-record measurements. CountBricks AI computes surface areas and thickness to pinpoint material volume.
2. Site Preparation: Our crew masks windows, fixtures, and HVAC components, ensuring overspray never becomes a cleanup headache.
3. Controlled Application: Certified sprayers apply foam in thin lifts, allowing each layer to cure for optimal adhesion and expansion.
4. Quality Verification: Infrared imaging confirms continuous coverage; gaps are addressed on the spot.
5. Post-Project Documentation: Receive a digital close-out package including R-value test results and warranty details through CountBricks.com/portfolio.
Material choice, thickness, and accessibility dictate overall price per square foot. With live pricing, CountBricks clients can see how each decision affects cost in realtime:
• Open-cell average: $1.15 – $1.35 per board foot
• Closed-cell average: $1.80 – $2.30 per board foot
• Attic prep and ventilation upgrades: Typically 8-15% of project total
Case studies from CountBricks projects across Hidalgo County show 18-25% reductions in annual cooling costs after attic spray foam retrofits. Homeowners also report:
• More consistent room temperatures
• Quieter interiors by up to 10 dB
• HVAC equipment running shorter cycles, extending system life
Transparent Pricing: You watch the estimate build itself in realtime—no hidden labor multipliers.
Speed to Contract: Quotes are generated during the initial call, not days later.
Data-Backed Recommendations: Every spec sheet, safety data sheet, and warranty is attached to your proposal automatically.
• Schedule installs between October and March when attic temperatures are lower, ensuring best cure quality.
• Pair spray foam with smart attic ventilation fans for maximum ROI.
• Seal recessed lighting cans before foam application to prevent thermal bridging.
• Ask CountBricks to run a blower-door test post-install to verify air leakage reduction.
• Explore local utility rebates; our AI flags current incentives in your proposal automatically.

When the Garza family noticed skyrocketing summer electric bills, they turned to CountBricks for a solution. Using our AI blueprint takeoff, we pinpointed 1,650 sq ft of poorly insulated attic space. The platform recommended 6” of open-cell spray foam to reach R-22, plus a 2” closed-cell flash on the HVAC plenum for added moisture control.
• Total material volume: 2,970 board feet
• Installation time: 1.5 days with a three-person crew
• Cost per board foot at time of install: $1.27 (live-priced)
• Project total: $3,777, including prep and cleanup
1. Pre-install blower-door: 6.8 ACH50
2. Post-install blower-door: 3.2 ACH50—a 53% air leakage reduction
3. Twelve-month energy review: 22% lower cooling expenses, equating to $548 saved in the first year
• Scenario Modeling: Not sure if open-cell or closed-cell makes sense? Toggle options in the CountBricks dashboard and watch annual savings recalculate in realtime.
• Integrated Rebates: Our database surfaces CPS Energy and state incentives directly inside your quote, often covering 5-10% of project cost.
• Predictive Maintenance Alerts: Post-install, you’ll receive reminders when to inspect foam coatings or service attic ventilation—protecting your investment for decades.
