Salt-laden sea air, four-season temperature swings, and sudden coastal storms all take a toll on residential windows in Portland, Maine. Rotting sashes, cracked panes, and failing seals not only look unsightly, they also drain energy efficiency and compromise security. When your view of Casco Bay is clouded by condensation or your heating bill is climbing, it is time to call CountBricks — the local leader in AI-driven construction estimating and field-tested craftsmanship.
• Energy savings of up to 30 % when drafts are eliminated
• Protection against mold growth caused by moisture intrusion
• Higher property value and stronger curb appeal for historic homes
• Improved indoor comfort during harsh Maine winters and humid summers
Waiting until minor fractures become full-pane failures can multiply labor and material costs. CountBricks uses real-time pricing and voice-activated walk-throughs to quote repairs on the spot, so you can act before damage spreads.
• Fogged double-pane insulated glass units (IGUs)
• Broken or chipped single panes in vintage wood frames
• Rotted sills and jambs from coastal moisture exposure
• Worn weatherstripping causing drafts and rattling sashes
• Faulty hardware such as crank operators, locks, and balances
Traditional contractors juggle clipboards, call sheets, and hand-written notes. CountBricks eliminates the chaos:
• Voice conversation capture: Simply walk us through each window while our mobile app transcribes dimensions and damage notes in real time.
• AI blueprint takeoffs: If you have digital plans, upload them to CountBricks.com/blueprint-takeoff and our engine extracts exact window counts and sizes in minutes.
• Live material pricing: The software pulls current glass, lumber, sealant, and hardware costs from regional suppliers every 15 minutes, so your estimate reflects today’s market — not last quarter’s.
• Instant line-item labor: Our residential construction task library applies Portland-specific labor rates and productivity factors, giving you a transparent breakdown of every step.

• Window type: Double-hung wood sash repairs average less than casement IGU replacements.
• Accessibility: Third-story ocean-front dormers require lift equipment and add labor time.
• Historic district regulations: CountBricks coordinates with local preservation boards to source period-correct glass, preventing costly compliance delays.
• Weather seasonality: Emergency winter repairs can incur surge premiums if icy scaffolding or heated enclosures are needed.
Repair makes sense when frames are structurally sound, rot is limited, and glazing failures are isolated. Expect 40 %-60 % savings compared to full unit replacement.
Replacement becomes necessary when extensive rot threatens wall framing, lead paint remediation is required, or energy codes mandate higher-performing units. CountBricks provides side-by-side estimates so you can choose confidently.
Because our AI platform eliminates manual data entry and purchasing guesswork, average clients save:
• 3-5 hours on scheduling and quote approval
• 8-12 % on materials through just-in-time ordering
• Up to 15 % on total project cost by preventing scope creep
Window repair in Portland, Maine doesn’t have to be slow or uncertain. With CountBricks, you get:

Emma and Caleb owned a three-story 1890s Victorian overlooking Back Cove. Twenty-one original wood windows leaked so badly that curtains moved on windy days. Local carpenters quoted six weeks just to hand-measure and price repairs. The couple turned to CountBricks.
1. A 30-minute voice walk-through captured every sash size, muntin pattern, and rot location.
2. Our AI applied historic wood-species pricing and Portland labor rates, emailing a detailed estimate before we left the driveway.
3. Custom mahogany sills and reproduction wavy glass were pre-ordered through CountBricks.com/services, shaving two weeks off lead time.
4. A three-technician crew completed repairs in seven working days, even matching original putty glazing lines.
• 18 % cost savings versus the lowest manual quote
• 27 % reduction in air infiltration, confirmed by post-repair blower-door test
• Historic district approval secured in one review cycle thanks to CountBricks documentation
• Schedule spring inspections: Catch winter rot early and avoid peak summer demand.
• Keep paint intact: A fresh coat seals out moisture and lowers future repair costs.
• Document serial numbers: If your windows are newer, this speeds IGU replacement ordering.
