Houston’s climate can be hard on hardwood. High humidity, temperature swings, and the occasional hurricane season moisture leave many homeowners staring at dull, scratched, or cupped floorboards. If you have reached the point where cleaning and spot-repair no longer meet the mark, professional floor refinishing is the fastest route to restoring beauty and value. CountBricks simplifies the entire journey, from real-time estimating to final coat.

6. Final Walk-Through – Sign off when sheen, color, and cleanliness meet CountBricks standards
• Square footage – Larger footprints reduce per-square-foot rates through material economies
• Wood species – Oak sands easily; exotic hardwoods require slower grits and specialty sealers
• Damage severity – Deep gouges may add patching labor or board replacement
• Finish selection – Water-based polyurethane dries faster but usually costs slightly more per gallon
• Scheduling – Off-season projects (January–February) often secure discounted crew rates
Based on 500 recent CountBricks residential projects in the Greater Houston area, homeowners invest between $3.25 and $6.00 per square foot for full sand-and-finish service. A 700-square-foot living area typically lands near $3,150, including two stain coats and a satin polyurethane finish.

• Run the AC or dehumidifier to maintain 45-55% RH during curing
• Ask about low-VOC finishes if household members have respiratory sensitivities
• Schedule furniture movers in advance; freshly finished floors need 24-48 hours before heavy items return
• Opt for semi-gloss in high-traffic areas; it hides pet scratches better than high-gloss
• Keep felt pads on chair legs to protect your investment long after the crew leaves
CountBricks diverts sanding dust to local recycling partners who repurpose it as livestock bedding absorbent. Water-based stains with 35% lower VOCs are standard on every Houston residential project unless you request an oil alternative.
