Arched transoms, bay windows, or triple sliders each require different mounting hardware and cut lengths. Our software catches these variations in real time so your budget stays accurate.
Going from composite to hardwood can raise material cost by 40 %, but it also raises curb appeal. CountBricks forecasting helps you decide if the ROI meets your remodel goals.
Two-story installs, existing security sensors, or drywall repairs after demo all add labor hours. With CountBricks you see those labor line items before the first screw is removed.
