San Francisco’s Victorians, modern lofts, and classic bungalows all share one design feature: beautiful wood flooring that deserves to shine. When years of foot traffic, salty fog, and city living leave those planks dull, CountBricks steps in. Our AI-driven estimating platform and seasoned craftspeople bring precision, speed, and lasting beauty to every floor refinishing San Francisco project.
Floor refinishing San Francisco homes delivers multiple advantages over tear-outs:
• Preserves original character prized in historic districts
• Saves up to 50 % versus full replacement
• Minimizes landfill waste, aligning with the City’s zero-waste goals
• Requires fewer permits and shorter timelines
• Coastal moisture can raise grain and dull finishes faster
• High-heel nightlife and office-to-home shoe habits scratch surfaces
• Tight urban living means projects must be dust-contained and quick—exactly what CountBricks delivers

• Square footage: typical Mission flat averages 700–900 sq ft
• Floor condition: previous waxes or deep gouges increase prep time
• Finish system: natural oil, matte poly, or high-gloss options vary in price
• Scheduling: night or weekend work around tenant occupancy may add premiums
CountBricks’ real-time material pricing engine monitors Bay Area supply houses, so your estimate stays accurate even when costs fluctuate.
A freshly refinished floor can raise listing value by 3-5 % in competitive neighborhoods like Noe Valley and Inner Sunset. Realtors regularly link to our CountBricks.com/portfolio images in their listings because buyers love seeing spotless oak and maple gleam beneath natural light.
• Place felt pads under every piece of furniture the moment the cure period ends
• Maintain 35-55 % indoor humidity to avoid seasonal gaps
• Clean with pH-neutral cleaners—not vinegar—to protect finish clarity
A classic two-bedroom flat usually needs three days: one for sanding, one for finishing, and one for curing before light foot traffic. CountBricks schedules work to minimize downtown parking constraints and HOA quiet-hour rules.
Yes. Our waterborne finishes emit <1 g/L VOCs, and reclaimed dust is recycled into composite building products through local partners. San Francisco Department of the Environment guidelines are met or exceeded on every project.
We isolate work zones so bedrooms remain livable. For full-unit projects, CountBricks can coordinate a three-night hotel stay through our concierge partners and fold the cost into your estimate.

A 1904 Victorian near Alta Plaza Park had original white-oak floors hidden under carpet for decades. The owner called CountBricks after receiving vague, paper-based quotes elsewhere. Using our AI voice assistant, she described room sizes, existing carpet layers, and desired color. Within four minutes she held a detailed line-item estimate—materials, labor, timeline, and an eco-finish upgrade option.
• Day 1: Crew removed carpet and staples, then performed a deep 36-grit cut to strip century-old shellac.
• Day 2: Applied custom gray-wash stain chosen from digital renderings generated on CountBricks.com/services.
• Day 3: Finished with three coats of low-VOC commercial matte poly, allowing light foot traffic that evening.
The project totaled $5.90 per square foot—8 % below the neighborhood average thanks to our live material feed. A post-refinish appraisal showed a $64,000 value increase, yielding a 487 % return on project cost. The client showcased before-and-after images in her real-estate newsletter, linking prospective buyers to CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Early digital measurements reduce on-site surprises
• Finish samples rendered in augmented reality speed decision-making
