Your hardwood floors are the statement pieces of your home. Over time, foot traffic, pets, and spills dull their shine and leave scratches that sanding alone cannot hide. CountBricks brings AI-driven precision and seasoned craftsmanship to every Albany hardwood floor refinishing project, restoring beauty while keeping budgets on track.
1. Digital Blueprint Takeoff: Using CountBricks AI, we capture exact square footage from your floor plans or a quick smartphone scan.
2. Real-Time Voice Estimate: Our estimator discusses stain colors, finish sheen, and repair needs with you in a live call while CountBricks software builds an itemized estimate in seconds.
3. Surface Preparation: Crews remove existing finish, set protruding nails, and perform minor board repairs for a flawless canvas.
4. Progressive Sanding: We move from coarse to fine grits, eliminating scratches without thinning boards beyond safe limits.
5. Custom Staining: Water- or oil-based stains mixed on site to match your décor and the regional Albany aesthetic.
6. Protective Coating: Two to three coats of commercial-grade polyurethane, cure-tracked in the CountBricks app so you know exactly when you can walk on your floors again.
Traditional estimates rely on tape measures, manual calculations, and generic allowances. CountBricks eliminates guesswork.
• Real-time lumber and finish pricing ensures your quote aligns with market fluctuations.
• Labor hours are auto-calculated based on room shapes, number of doorways, and edge detail complexity.
• You receive a downloadable PDF proposal from CountBricks.com/portfolio within minutes of your call.
• Floor Condition: Deep gouges or pet stains may require board replacement or bleach treatments.
• Finish Selection: Water-based products dry faster and have lower VOCs but cost slightly more per gallon.
• Home Access: Third-floor walk-ups or narrow staircases increase labor time for equipment setup.
• Seasonal Humidity: Winter dryness can widen floor gaps, affecting filler volumes and sanding passes.
CountBricks data shows most Albany refinishing projects fall between $4.25 and $6.00 per square foot. Detailed AI line-items help you see exactly where you can splurge or save.
• Basic refinish with clear coat only: $4.25-$4.75 per sq.ft.
• Mid-range with custom stain and water-based finish: $5.00-$5.50 per sq.ft.
• Premium with board repairs and matte commercial finish: $5.50-$6.00 per sq.ft.
Average Albany homes (800-1,200 sq.ft. of hardwood) take three to four days:
1. Day One – Sanding & prep
2. Day Two – Fine sanding & first coat
3. Day Three – Final coats & cure monitoring
4. Day Four – Walk-through and CountBricks punch-list completion if needed
• Clear rooms completely—vibration from sanding can shift wall art and fixtures.
• Maintain 65-75°F and 40-60% humidity for even cure times.
• Choose matte or satin finishes to hide minor future scratches better than gloss.
• Schedule painting before refinishing; paint drips on fresh floors are costly to fix.
• Add felt pads to furniture immediately after cure to preserve your new surface.
