In the dense, vibrant neighborhoods of the Bronx, space is at a premium and every renovation choice matters. Homeowners want materials that elevate property value, stand up to family life, and look stunning for decades. Hardwood flooring checks every box—especially when installed by a partner who understands New York’s permitting, logistics, and cost pressures. That partner is CountBricks.
• Timeless beauty that suits classic brownstones and modern condos alike
• High resale appeal for buyers comparing co-ops and single-family homes
• Ability to refinish multiple times instead of replacing entire floors
• Excellent indoor air quality compared to carpeted alternatives
The Bronx offers character and convenience, but also tight stairwells, limited parking, and strict HOA guidelines. CountBricks takes these hurdles off your plate by combining field-tested trade crews with our AI estimating platform.
1. You describe the space in a real-time voice call. CountBricks AI turns your words into precise take-offs—no tape measure required.
2. Our software cross-checks live lumber prices and labor rates in Bronx ZIP codes, generating a line-item estimate in under five minutes.
3. We dispatch flooring specialists who know pre-war joists, elevator schedules, and NYC Department of Buildings forms inside out.
Every home is different, yet Bronx clients typically see:
• Materials: $6–$9 per sq ft for solid oak, $4–$6 for quality engineered planks
• Labor: $4–$7 per sq ft depending on subfloor prep, stair treads, and finish coats
• Extras: $1–$2 per sq ft for demolition, sound-proof underlayment, or furniture moving
CountBricks bundles these numbers into a transparent PDF quote, automatically branded for your records and ready for HOA submission.

A recent CountBricks client purchased a 1,200 sq ft brownstone duplex in Morris Park. The existing red-oak floors were buried under three layers of laminate and an outdated parquet patch. Using our AI blueprint takeoff feature, we calculated exact removal volumes and predicted waste disposal fees, saving the homeowner an unexpected $1,100.
• Material selection: 3¼-inch rift-sawn white oak sourced through CountBricks supplier network
• Subfloor upgrade: Added ⅝-inch plywood and acoustic mat to cut downstairs noise by 20 dB
• Finish: Zero-VOC waterborne matte, perfect for the client’s newborn nursery
1. Day 1: Demolition crew arrived with a curbside container scheduled via NYC Sanitation’s online permit portal—handled entirely by CountBricks.
2. Day 3: Flooring acclimated, installation started, and daily progress photos populated the client’s dashboard.
3. Day 6: Final coat cured under controlled airflow, allowing furniture move-in by Day 8—two days ahead of the co-op’s original deadline.
• Early debris permits save time—CountBricks files them automatically.
• Upgrading subfloors during installation adds minimal labor but major sound insulation value.
