Climate Challenges
• High humidity swells boards, so moisture testing is non-negotiable
• Hurricane season calls for fast-curing finishes
• Elevated lead-time for specialty cypress stains
Architectural Diversity
• Shotgun homes feature narrow heart-pine strips
• Uptown doubles often reveal mixed oak species after carpet removal
• Garden District mansions may include intricate border inlays that demand hand-scraping
Our AI references years of CountBricks project data to flag these variables before a crew even knocks on the door.
1. Floor Condition
• Minor surface scratches: one-day screen & recoat
• Deep gouges and pet stains: multiple sanding passes and targeted board replacement
2. Finish Selection
• Oil-based poly offers warm amber tones but needs longer cure time
• Waterborne urethane emits lower odor—ideal for families staying in the home
• Low-VOC plant-based oils appeal to French Quarter eco-renovations
3. Home Access & Layout
• Narrow hallways require edge sanders, extending labor hours
• Raised gallery porches affect equipment staging
• On-street parking restrictions add load-in costs in the Marigny
• Speed: Voice-to-estimate reduces quote time by 80 %.
• Accuracy: AI cross-checks today’s lumber pricing, not last month’s.
• Visibility: Clients track progress photos on CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Flexibility: Instant change orders prevent project stalls.
• Sustainability: We recommend low-VOC finishes and reclaim dust for composting at local community gardens.

A 1,200 sq ft double-shotgun had pine floors dulled by decades of paint layers. Using the CountBricks blueprint takeoff tool, we predicted 17 labor hours for safe paint removal and two extra sanding passes. The AI flagged potential lead paint, so HEPA vacuums and containment mats were priced automatically. The final cost landed within 1 % of the original estimate, and the client’s floor now glows with a satin waterborne finish reflective of historic charm.
• Place felt pads under furniture to prevent micro-scratches
• Use a pH-neutral cleaner once a week—avoid vinegar; it dulls urethane
• Maintain indoor humidity between 40-60 % to prevent seasonal gaps
• Refresh high-traffic areas with a screen & recoat every 3-5 years
Homeowners can schedule annual inspections directly through CountBricks.com/consultation, and our AI pulls previous project data to forecast future maintenance costs.

The AI calculated that 28 % of boards could be salvaged, saving $4,200 in materials.
