Tiling a bathroom, kitchen, foyer or outdoor patio adds instant value to a Queens residence. Yet cost overruns, shipping delays and change orders can turn an exciting upgrade into a budget breaker. CountBricks solves that problem by marrying real-time voice capture with AI cost engines, creating lightning-fast estimates and material lists that keep projects on track.
Queens homeowners have flocked to porcelain, ceramic and natural stone because of three market drivers:
• Condominiums and single-family homes appreciate faster when hard-surface finishes replace vinyl or carpet
• A robust local supply chain shortens lead times, making “order today, install next week” a reality
• Contemporary design trends favor clean lines and low-maintenance living, both hallmarks of tile flooring and wall finishes
CountBricks receives hundreds of live calls every month from remodelers and DIY-minded owners looking for:
• Bathroom floor tile tear-outs and replacements averaging 60–90 ft²
• Kitchen backsplashes spanning 25 linear feet of counter space
• Full basement conversions that demand 800–1,200 ft² of moisture-resistant porcelain
• Outdoor terraces with freeze-thaw rated pavers for year-round durability
1. Speak your scope: Using any smartphone, describe the room dimensions, subfloor condition and preferred style. Our engine transcribes every detail in real time.
2. Instant pricing: CountBricks cross-references Queens supplier inventories to pull today’s square-foot costs on ceramic, porcelain and stone, then layers labor productivity rates tailored to NYC union and non-union crews.
3. Smart suggestions: If your chosen 24"×24" tile is on backorder, the software recommends in-stock alternates with identical wear ratings, preventing schedule slips.
4. Document delivery: Within minutes, your branded PDF estimate—including line-item materials, tasks, allowances and payment milestones—lands in your inbox, ready for client signature.
A Forest Hills homeowner planned a 120 ft² master bath overhaul. Traditional estimating methods from three contractors varied by nearly 30 %. Using CountBricks, the chosen builder presented a data-driven proposal showing:
• 15 % lower material waste thanks to our optimized cut-pattern module
• Two fewer labor days predicted by AI productivity analytics
• A schedule certainty bonus—late-completion penalties were eliminated because the plan relied on in-stock Queens warehouses
The project closed at $14,870, within 1.2 % of the original CountBricks estimate.
