From Back Bay condos to South End brownstones, Boston homeowners love the timeless look and durability of tile. Yet every successful residential project starts with an iron-clad estimate. CountBricks brings AI precision to the historic neighborhoods of the city, transforming the way contractors and DIY-savvy homeowners plan, price, and install tile Boston wide.
The region’s labor rates, building codes, and ever-changing material supply chains make “average price per square foot” numbers nearly useless. CountBricks solves the guessing game by listening to a quick voice description and returning a line-item estimate matched to:
• Current tile Boston material pricing pulled from regional suppliers
• Local union and non-union labor averages
• Neighborhood-specific permit fees and disposal costs
Because our database updates in real time, you never rely on outdated price books or manual spreadsheets.
1. Open the CountBricks app and start the voice capture.
2. Describe the room dimensions, tile type, pattern, and substrate.
3. Our AI identifies the square footage, waste factor, mortar, grout, trim, and labor tasks required.
4. Instantly receive a detailed estimate ready for client approval or internal budgeting.
5. Convert the estimate to an invoice or schedule a CountBricks installer with one click.
Historic Structures: Many brownstones and triple-deckers feature uneven substrates. CountBricks automatically adds leveling, membrane, or backer-board tasks when your voice notes mention existing floor irregularities.
High Customer Expectations: Bostonians pay premium real-estate prices. Transparent, line-item pricing builds trust and accelerates project approval.
Winter Deadlines: Cold-weather slowdowns shorten the working season. Precise estimates lock in material orders before the first frost, avoiding costly storage or expedited shipping.
• Porcelain: Ideal for mudrooms and New England freeze-thaw cycles.
• Ceramic Subway: A favorite in Beacon Hill bathrooms, offering classic style at moderate cost.
• Natural Stone: Marble and slate elevate luxury condos but demand extra sealing—automatically calculated by CountBricks.
• Large-Format Panels: Trending in modern Seaport lofts; our AI adjusts labor rates for the extra handling equipment.
Parking & Access: Narrow streets can add hours of labor time. CountBricks’ Boston presets include travel and staging allowances, eliminating “surprise” charges later.
Building Management Rules: Voice cues such as “high-rise” trigger elevator reservation fees and off-hours work premiums in your estimate.
Union Compliance: If a project requires union installers, simply say “union crew” and watch the labor rate update automatically.
You can also upload or photograph a floor plan. Our AI traces every wall and floor line to create an exact tile takeoff, then merges quantities into your existing voice-generated estimate. That means no double-entry and zero math errors.
When a local contractor needed a 200 sq ft backsplash estimate, he opened CountBricks, spoke for 47 seconds, and received:
• Material list—porcelain herringbone, thinset, grout, edge trim
• Labor breakdown—demo, surface prep, layout, install, cleanup
• Projected timeline—2.5 working days
• Final price variance—within 1.2 % of actual cost upon completion
The homeowner signed the digital quote on the spot, shaving a week off the sales cycle.
