Austin’s sunshine is legendary, but so are its mosquitoes, dust, and scorching summer afternoons. A high-quality window screen keeps the pests out, lets the breezes in, and protects your HVAC system from overworking. Whether you’re building a custom home in Barton Creek, renovating a Hyde Park bungalow, or flipping an investment property near UT, CountBricks delivers the fastest path from idea to installed screen.
• Energy savings: A screened window allows natural cross-ventilation, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling.
• Indoor air quality: Screens block debris and most airborne allergens, important in Austin’s pollen-heavy spring.
• Code compliance: Many Austin neighborhoods require insect screening for egress windows.
• Curb appeal: Modern fiberglass, aluminum, and pet-resistant mesh enhance the façade and resale value.
Austin combines hill-country dust, Gulf Coast humidity, and dramatic temperature swings. Standard builder-grade mesh often sags or corrodes within two summers. CountBricks specifies materials rated for high UV exposure and installs powder-coated frames that resist rust even in lakeside neighborhoods such as Lakeway.
Traditional estimating involves site visits, manual takeoffs, and days of back-and-forth emails. CountBricks compresses this process into a real-time conversation:
1. Talk to our AI estimator from any device. Say, “I need 18 window screens for a two-story in 78704.”
2. The system pulls live pricing on aluminum frames, fiberglass mesh, spline, and labor rates for Austin.
3. Within seconds you receive a detailed line-item estimate—materials, tasks, hours, and taxes included—ready for client approval.
