In many Billings MT homes, the bathroom makeover starts and ends with new tile or fresh paint. Yet the single fixture you use the most—the water closet—often stays untouched until a leak or persistent clog forces action. Replacing or relocating a toilet involves far more than swapping porcelain. You need accurate rough-in measurements, reliable flange alignment, and tight coordination with flooring and finish materials. That is where CountBricks brings game-changing efficiency to residential construction.

• Up-to-date local cost data: Our pricing engine pulls current Billings MT supplier rates every day, eliminating guesswork on wax rings, shut-off valves, and water-efficient bowls.
• AI blueprint takeoffs: Upload your remodel drawings and let CountBricks auto-calculate rough-in spacing, vent routing, and floor patch areas before demolition begins.
• Instant quote documents: Convert your estimate into a branded homeowner proposal with one click, ready for e-signature.
Billings follows the Montana State Building Code, which references the International Plumbing Code with regional amendments. When you replace a water closet you must ensure:
• 15 inches clearance from the centerline to any side wall or vanity
• 24 inches clear space in front of the bowl for knee room
• A 3-inch minimum vented drain line for most residential installations
CountBricks embeds these requirements directly into every estimate. If the existing drain is undersized or too close to a stud wall, the software flags it so you can budget for corrective carpentry and plumbing changes upfront.
1. Capture site data with voice: Open the CountBricks app, dictate fixture brand, floor type, and visible shut-off condition.
2. Generate estimate: Our AI cross-references your voice notes with current Billings MT pricing and building code rules.
3. Approve scope: Homeowners review the automated quote from CountBricks.com/services, ask questions, and sign digitally.
4. Schedule trade partners: CountBricks dispatches pre-vetted plumbers and flooring specialists while syncing tasks in the app timeline.
5. Execute and verify: Crews photograph each stage—removal, flange inspection, new wax seal, tank test—and upload to your project dashboard.
6. Final invoice: Because materials and hours are tracked in real time, the final bill auto-populates with zero manual data entry.
Cold-weather shut-offs: Many older Billings homes lack frost-proof supply lines. CountBricks automatically adds insulated valves when winter lows dip below code thresholds.
Hard-water considerations: Minerals shorten seal life. Our database recommends brass-bodied fill valves and extended warranties for neighborhoods on well systems.
Seismic bracing: Local regulations may require closet bolts with reinforced washers. CountBricks includes them without costly change orders.
• Standard two-piece: Budget-friendly, easy to transport in tight hallways.
• One-piece skirted: Sleek look, fewer crevices for cleaning, slightly higher cost.
• Wall-hung: Saves floor space, demands in-wall carrier framing—CountBricks flags the necessary blocking and finish patch work.
• High-efficiency dual-flush: Reduces annual water usage; our estimator displays projected utility savings on the quote.
Many homeowners pair a water closet swap with flooring replacement, wainscoting, or a new vanity. The traditional method involves juggling multiple vendor quotes and schedules. With CountBricks you can:
• Layer additional tasks onto the initial voice estimate—“Add 60 square feet of hex tile and install a 36-inch vanity.”
• Receive a consolidated cost impact in seconds.
• Leverage CountBricks’ Billings MT trade network so demolition, tile, plumbing, and paint flow in the right order.
Every completed water closet project in Billings MT is archived in the CountBricks.com/portfolio. Our AI monitors call-backs and warranty claims to refine future estimates. When you schedule an inspection, the system reminds crews to photograph:
• Flange height relative to finished floor
• Bolt cap alignment
• Tank-to-bowl gasket integrity after 24-hour set time
This data feeds continuous improvement so your next project runs even smoother.

A 1940s bungalow near Pioneer Park had chronic leaks around its cast-iron flange. The homeowner called CountBricks on a Wednesday afternoon and used the voice capture feature to describe the issue. Within ten minutes, our platform produced a detailed scope that included:
• Removal of the existing two-piece toilet and corroded flange
• Installation of a stainless-steel repair ring to meet current plumbing code
• Upgrade to a dual-flush, 1.1/1.6 GPF skirted bowl
• Patch and level of the original fir flooring before fixture set
• Disposal of debris at a licensed Billings transfer station
The homeowner accepted the digital quote that same evening. By Friday, a CountBricks-vetted plumber and carpenter arrived with all materials pre-pulled from local suppliers. Because the estimate accounted for cold-weather shut-offs, the crew installed an insulated quarter-turn valve at no additional charge. The entire job, from demo to final inspection photo upload, took six labor hours—exactly what the AI predicted. Invoice variance: $0.00.
• Take a 10-second video of the supply line and subfloor; our AI spots moisture before it ruins your new finish floor.
• When choosing a skirted model, budget an extra half-inch for baseboard thickness—CountBricks flags this automatically.
• Schedule installs early in the week. Billings plumbing supply houses restock Mondays, giving CountBricks real-time access to the widest product inventory.
• 27% average reduction in material overages on recent Billings bathroom projects
• 3.4 hours saved per project in manual data entry and invoicing
• 98.6% first-inspection pass rate for plumbing code compliance
