Replacing or upgrading windows is one of the highest-impact improvements a Birmingham homeowner can make. New windows boost curb appeal, lower utility bills during Alabama’s sticky summers, and add measurable property value. Yet many residents postpone the project because the traditional quoting process is slow, confusing, and full of cost surprises. CountBricks removes every barrier by generating on-site voice estimates in minutes, delivering line-item clarity, and pairing homeowners with certified installers who specialize in residential construction.
CountBricks was built for residential construction. Our AI pulls live material costs from regional suppliers, understands Birmingham building codes, and auto-applies tax and permit fees for Jefferson and Shelby Counties. The platform’s voice interface lets you walk through each room, call out window sizes, and receive an instant, fully formatted proposal—even before the site visit ends.
• Instant voice-driven estimates and invoices
• Real-time materials catalog for vinyl, wood, aluminum-clad, and composite frames
• Automated blueprint takeoffs for new builds and major renovations
• Seamless integration with leading residential field apps via CountBricks.com/services
Our city’s humid subtropical climate demands windows with low U-factor glass, durable seals, and reliable installation techniques. CountBricks partners receive ongoing training on moisture management, flashing best practices, and ENERGY STAR requirements for the Deep South region. Every CountBricks estimate automatically recommends the right glazing package based on your zip code’s heating and cooling data.
Incorrect Measurements
• Traditional tape-measure notes can miss fractions that become costly framing corrections later.
• CountBricks AI converts spoken width and height to precise decimal dimensions and flags out-of-square openings.
Supply Delays
• National shortages often push specialty windows back 8–10 weeks.
• The CountBricks material engine scans multiple Birmingham distributors to locate in-stock SKUs and show alternative options instantly.
Permit Confusion
• Homeowners rarely know when a full-frame replacement triggers structural review.
• Our proposal includes the correct permit class, fees, and lead times—no last-minute chaos at city hall.
1. Voice Walk-Through: Use your smartphone to dictate room names, window counts, and rough openings. The AI builds a digital takeoff on the spot.
2. Instant Estimate: Labor, materials, taxes, and disposal are calculated in seconds. Homeowners receive an email and text copy before you leave the driveway.
3. Digital Approval: Clients e-sign from any device, triggering material orders with live supplier feeds.
4. Scheduled Delivery & Install: CountBricks’ logistics scheduler assigns a vetted crew based on specialty (bay, double-hung, casement). You and the homeowner see real-time truck tracking.
5. Close-Out & Warranty Packet: Invoices auto-populate with field photos, inspection notes, and manufacturer warranties, then sync to your accounting platform.
While national averages quote a broad price range, local nuances matter. CountBricks captures the following Birmingham-specific variables automatically:
• Historic district guidelines in areas like Forest Park and Mountain Brook
• Elevated humidity and sun exposure driving insulated glazing selection
• Regional labor rates for carpenters, painters, and stucco finishers
• Landfill fees for old sash disposal at approved Jefferson County sites
Because every item is transparent, homeowners understand exactly where their investment goes—eliminating “sticker shock” and accelerating approvals.

A Homewood homeowner contacted CountBricks after receiving three conflicting quotes for a six-panel bay window. Using the voice walk-through, our estimator captured dimensions, exterior brick details, and interior trim styles in under ten minutes.
