The average Akron home is rich with character—crown moldings, original trim, and, of course, solid hardwood floors dating back decades. Over time, those planks absorb scratches, dullness, and discoloration. Replacing a floor this beautiful is costly and wastes quality lumber. Refinishing, on the other hand, delivers showroom-ready results at a fraction of the price. CountBricks specializes in hardwood floor refinishing Akron families rely on to preserve history, boost property value, and modernize living spaces without ripping out a single plank.
