When Baton Rouge homeowners picture the perfect movie night, crisp audio is always at the center of the dream. A professionally designed surround sound installation transforms living rooms and bonus spaces into immersive theaters—but only if the measurements, wiring paths, hardware selections, and finish work are executed flawlessly. CountBricks combines local residential construction know-how with AI-driven estimation to deliver an experience that sounds as good as it looks.
• Many homes feature raised-pier foundations that complicate under-floor wiring runs
• Humid Gulf Coast climate demands moisture-resistant speaker enclosures and cabling
• Older neighborhoods still rely on plaster walls that crack easily when retrofit holes are drilled
These regional factors make “one-size-fits-all” online guides useless. CountBricks starts every project with an on-site voice-assisted walkthrough, capturing wall construction, attic access, electrical load, and acoustic reflections in real time. The data feeds directly into CountBricks.com/services, generating an itemized estimate before we leave your driveway.
Our estimator has a live voice conversation with you—no clipboards, no paper. As you describe goals, CountBricks AI prices speaker tiers, receiver options, custom millwork, and even permits against current Baton Rouge material indexes.
Whether you provide a PDF floor plan or we scan the room with LiDAR, CountBricks AI maps stud bays, joists, and cable routes. Blueprint takeoffs reduce design time by 40 % and eliminate change-order surprises.
• We run CL-rated speaker wire and HDMI over fiber before drywall closes
• Fire-stop sealant meets local code Section R302

Flush-mount ceiling speakers, in-wall subwoofer enclosures, and low-profile AV racks are set with laser levels. Our carpentry crew follows the same digital task list the estimator created, ensuring cost consistency from quote to completion.

Below is a sample range pulled from recent CountBricks jobs in south Louisiana:
• Entry-Level 5.1 System: $4,800–$6,200 (equipment, labor, calibration)
• Premium 7.2.4 Atmos: $11,500–$15,000 (architectural speakers, 4K projector, custom rack)
• Construction Add-Ons: $800–$1,200 for staggered-stud sound isolation walls
Because CountBricks updates material pricing every 24 hours, your proposal never uses last quarter’s numbers.
• Under-gauged wire runs exceeding 50 ft cause volume drop—CountBricks auto-flags for 12-gauge upgrades
• Shared HVAC returns create bass vibration—our AI suggests decoupled wall assemblies
• Mismatched receiver power leads to clipped highs—equipment libraries within CountBricks show watt-per-channel specs in real time
• Wire the rear surrounds during remodels even if speakers will be added later
• Choose atmos-capable receivers now; firmware updates are cheaper than hardware swaps
• Invest in acoustic panels made from Louisiana-harvested cypress for local flair and reduced echo
Every stakeholder—homeowner, electrician, carpenter—accesses a unified task board on CountBricks.com. Voice notes from field crews attach directly to line items so you can play back progress on your phone. No more deciphering handwriting or wondering why a change order appeared.
