Reviving Hardwood Beauty in Portland, Maine

Your hardwood floors are one of the biggest visual statements in any Portland, Maine home. When they become dull, scratched, or discolored, the entire space feels tired. CountBricks combines artisan craftsmanship with AI-driven estimating to deliver flawless floor refinishing Portland Maine homeowners can trust—on schedule and on budget.

What Sets CountBricks Apart?

Real-time AI Estimates

Traditional quotes can take days, and hidden costs surface later. With CountBricks, you speak your project details into our mobile app. Our AI references current material prices, regional labor rates, and floor condition variables to generate an itemized estimate in minutes.

Transparent Material Tracking

We sync with local suppliers every hour, so your estimate always reflects today’s cost for stains, sealers, and sanding belts. No price-surprise halfway through the job.

Proven Residential Craftsmanship

Our Portland crews have refined thousands of square feet of oak, maple, and pine. Each technician is CountBricks-certified, meaning they pass rigorous skill and cleanliness assessments.

Understanding the Floor Refinishing Process

1. On-site Assessment: After your AI estimate, a CountBricks specialist verifies square footage, moisture levels, and subfloor stability.

2. Dust-less Sanding: Industrial HEPA extraction keeps 98% of airborne dust out of your living areas.

3. Custom Stain Selection: You preview digital renderings of different stain colors on your exact floor species using the CountBricks Visualizer.

4. Sealer & Topcoat Application: We apply commercial-grade waterborne finishes renowned for quick cure times and low VOCs.

5. Final Walk-Through: A CountBricks foreman tours the project with you, checking gloss uniformity, edge blending, and overall sheen.

Typical Timeline for Portland Homes

• 1 day for rooms under 300 sq. ft.

• 2–3 days for whole-floor plans up to 1,000 sq. ft.

• Add 24 hours of cure time before moving furniture back

Cost Factors in Portland, Maine

CountBricks AI has analyzed thousands of local projects, revealing three cost drivers:

• Floor Condition: Deep gouges require more sanding passes and filler work.

• Species & Age: Old-growth pine absorbs stain differently than new oak, affecting product volume.

• Layout Complexity: Hallways and closets add labor hours due to edge work.

Average Price Range

• Basic refresh (light buff & coat): $2.25–$2.75 per sq. ft.

• Full sand & refinish: $3.50–$4.75 per sq. ft.

• Patterned inlays or border accents: add $1.00–$1.50 per sq. ft.

Eco-Friendly Practices

Portlanders value sustainability, and so do we. CountBricks sources low-VOC finishes, recycles sanding dust into biomass fuel, and schedules deliveries to reduce truck trips. Our AI engine even suggests finish products with the smallest carbon footprint that still meet your durability goals.

Five Pro Tips for a Smooth Project

• Remove rugs and furniture before the crew arrives to maximize working time

• Set thermostat between 65–75 °F for uniform curing

• Replace felt pads on furniture feet when moving items back

• Wait seven days before placing area rugs to prevent imprinting

• Use pH-neutral cleaners recommended in your CountBricks care guide

Case Spotlight: West End Victorian Revival

A 1905 Victorian in Portland’s West End had 1,200 sq. ft. of worn red oak floors hidden beneath carpet glue. The homeowner contacted CountBricks through our voice estimate feature.
