From redwood coastal cottages to cedar-clad mountain retreats, California homeowners love the timeless warmth of wood siding. Yet finding a dependable wood siding supplier California contractors can rely on is harder than ever. Fluctuating lumber prices, regional fire-resistance codes, and tight timelines create constant pressure for remodelers. CountBricks steps in as the digital bridge between your design vision and the perfect pallet of boards delivered on schedule.
California’s size means supply chains vary widely. Northern mills specialize in sustainably harvested redwood and Douglas fir, while Southern yards stock thermally modified pine and pre-treated cedar. Local code requirements—especially Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) regulations—add another layer of complexity. CountBricks aggregates live inventory and pricing from vetted regional yards so you never have to phone five suppliers before lunch.
• Redwood: Naturally rot-resistant, prized for rich color
• Western Red Cedar: Lightweight, dimensional stability, accepts stain evenly
• Douglas Fir: Economical option with strong structural properties
• Thermally Modified Pine: Heat-treated for increased durability and WUI compliance
1. Volatile pricing: Lumber can swing 15-20 % in a single month.
2. Waste estimation: Over-ordering crushes margins, under-ordering delays crews.
3. Code compliance: Fire-rating paperwork and ICC-ES reports must accompany many shipments.
4. Timeline coordination: Siding has to arrive precisely when the sheathing is inspected, not three weeks earlier.

A coastal remodeler needed 1,700 sq ft of tongue-and-groove cedar with Class B fire rating. Traditionally the team spent two days calling suppliers. With CountBricks, they:
• Uploaded plans at 8 a.m.
• Received three bids by 10 a.m.
• Locked in a 7 % lower price than budgeted
• Scheduled staggered deliveries to minimize site storage
• Delivered the final homeowner quote by noon—all within the same platform.
• Specify mixed board lengths to reduce off-cuts in irregular elevations.
• Compare shipping fees—nearby suppliers aren’t always cheaper if they add fuel surcharges.
• Negotiate factory priming; it often costs less than on-site labor and reduces weather delays.
• Use CountBricks waste analytics to dial in scrap exactly to your crew’s cutting patterns.
No, CountBricks amplifies their reach. We simply add transparency and speed so you can keep relationships strong while gaining data-backed leverage.
Yes. Invite them through your dashboard; they’ll receive the RFQ in the same format, making side-by-side comparison easy.

Ask any siding crew leader what kills margin and you’ll hear one word: waste. Ordering an extra 10 % “just in case” sounds safe until you’re hauling untouched bundles back to the yard. CountBricks uses historical cut-pattern analytics from thousands of California installs to predict the true overage you need—often 3-5 % instead of 10.
1. The AI reads board lengths offered by each supplier in real time.
2. It overlays those lengths on your wall elevations, prioritizing full-length runs over unnecessary joints.
3. It simulates staggered seams to meet aesthetic guidelines while minimizing off-cuts.
4. Results display as a color-coded heat map, instantly revealing high-waste zones.
• A Pasadena builder reduced scrap by 43 % on a 2,400 sq ft cedar job, saving $1,120.
• A Tahoe cabin project used thermally modified pine; AI trimmed overage from 12 % to 4 %, freeing budget for premium stain.
• Sort deliveries by elevation: north-facing walls first so crews can stain during optimal daylight.
• Combine orders with neighboring builds; CountBricks automatically aggregates demand for bulk discounts.
• Review the supplier’s moisture content report—boards shipped too green expand after install, leading to callbacks.
