Homeowners across Salem, Oregon are upgrading from fiberglass inserts to custom tile showers that add value, style, and durability. The challenge is getting an accurate cost, realistic timeline, and reliable crew before the first tile is ever set. That is exactly where CountBricks stands out. By combining real-time voice capture, AI-driven takeoffs, and our vetted residential construction team, we turn a complicated remodel into a confident decision.
• Rising home values in Marion and Polk counties are motivating owners to invest in premium finishes
• Pacific Northwest moisture makes mildew-resistant tile a smart long-term choice
• Modern buyers look for spa-like primary baths, boosting resale appeal
Traditional estimates require multiple site visits, manual measurements, and revisions. CountBricks flips that script. During a single walk-through we capture your spoken scope—“48-inch niche, matte black fixtures, herringbone accent wall”—and our AI generates:
• Square-foot tile quantities down to the last bullnose
• Current Salem supplier pricing for tiles, waterproofing, and grout
• Task-based labor hours matched to our certified crews
• A live Gantt chart scheduling demo and install
Homeowners receive the full breakdown in minutes, not days, via CountBricks.com/services.
1. Demolition complexity: Removing an old cast-iron tub bumps labor and dump fees
2. Substrate condition: Water-damaged stud bays require framing repair
3. Tile selection: Porcelain starts around $4 / sq ft while handcrafted ceramics can exceed $20
4. Layout details: Patterns like chevron increase cut time by 20-30 %
5. Glass enclosure: Frameless panels add $1,200–$1,800 to the average Salem project
• Entry Upgrade (32" x 60" alcove, porcelain subway, framed door): $6,800–$8,900
• Mid-Tier Custom (36" x 72", large-format walls, mosaic floor, niches): $9,500–$12,500
• Premium Retreat (curbless, linear drain, natural stone, frameless glass): $14,000–$19,000+

• Schedule around Oregon’s rainy season to minimize debris tracking
• Choose porcelain over stone if you want low maintenance and lower absorption rates
• Add blocking for future grab bars while walls are open—zero cost later, huge convenience
• Opt for a single-panel glass door to reduce hardware corrosion in humid climates
• Use a contrasting grout color on floor mosaics for better traction visibility
Every material and task inside your estimate links to live supplier feeds. If a tile SKU jumps in price, you see it in real time and can switch selections before purchase. Labor overruns are flagged instantly because our crews clock tasks directly into the same platform. Transparent data means no end-of-job shock.

When the Rivera family needed an accessible master bath, they worried a curbless conversion would blow up both cost and schedule. Using CountBricks Voice Capture, we documented every requirement—zero step, bench seat, and handheld spray—in under 20 minutes. Our AI takeoff showed:
• 112 sq ft of slip-resistant porcelain
• Schluter-style linear drain kit
• Two days for structural joist notching and waterproof re-sloping
Total approved budget: $15,840. The project finished two hours under the estimated labor time, saving Rivera’s $320, which was automatically credited on their final invoice.
Traditional manual counts round up by 10 % to cover waste. Our algorithm analyzes cut patterns and niche placement, reducing excess tile to roughly 3 %. On a premium stone selection at $18 / sq ft, that saved one recent West Salem client over $400.
