From classic pre-war brownstones to sleek new condos, Bronx homeowners love the warmth, value, and long-term durability that hardwood flooring brings to a living space. Yet choosing a species, calculating material yields, and forecasting labor hours can feel overwhelming—especially when every square foot counts. CountBricks combines AI-powered blueprint takeoffs with real-time voice estimating so you can turn “I want new floors” into a confirmed, line-item estimate in minutes.
Residential Specialization: We focus exclusively on homes, so our cost database reflects the realities of rowhouses, co-ops, and multifamily walk-ups rather than commercial square-foot pricing.
Live Voice Estimates: Discuss finishes, trim options, and subfloor prep while the software instantly updates totals. Your clients leave the conversation with a shareable PDF ready for e-signature.
AI Blueprint Takeoffs: Upload an architect’s plan or snap a photo of an existing room. The CountBricks engine measures, subtracts openings, and suggests optimal board lengths to reduce waste.
Local Cost Engine: Every nail, adhesive tube, and plank price pulls from suppliers serving the Bronx in real-time, so your material allowance is always on target.
Whether you’re replacing a squeaky pine floor in Belmont or installing engineered oak in a new Mott Haven duplex, most Bronx jobs include:
• Demo and disposal of existing floor coverings
• Moisture test and subfloor leveling
• Underlayment or vapor barrier installation
• Laying hardwood planks, staggering joints, and face-nailing starter rows
• Trim, reducers, and threshold transitions
• Sanding, staining, and finishing coats (for site-finished jobs)
• Final punch list walk-through with the homeowner
1. Voice Call: Open the CountBricks app and start a call with the homeowner present.
2. Capture the Room: Our AI listens while you dictate dimensions or upload a floor plan.
3. Select Materials: Choose from solid, engineered, or pre-finished hardwood catalogs synced with Bronx distributors.
4. Automatic Labor Allocation: The platform applies borough-specific production rates for tear-out, install, and finish.
5. Instant Proposal: Within the same call, a branded CountBricks PDF is generated—complete with allowances, exclusions, and payment milestones.
• Building Age: Pre-war joists often need sistering, adding hours for labor and plywood overlays.
• Elevators vs. Walk-ups: Fourth-floor walk-ups increase handling time; CountBricks adjusts haul fees automatically.
• Species Selection: Domestic oak remains budget-friendly, while exotic acacia can triple material costs.
• Finish Type: Water-based poly dries faster but requires extra coats; oil-based offers a longer open time for leveling.
Smart Waste Factor: Our algorithm calculates board cuts per room shape, limiting over-ordering to 8-10 % instead of the industry’s traditional 15 %.
Task Checklists: On-site crews receive mobile checklists tied to each estimate line, ensuring specs are met before moving to the next task.
Change Order Guardrails: Any mid-project scope change is voice-logged, time-stamped, and priced instantly—no more handwritten extras.
Most two-bedroom apartments complete in 4-6 working days, including acclimation and finish coats. CountBricks schedules labor based on crew size and building access to keep you on track.
Yes. Our proposals include noise and dust mitigation notes commonly required by co-op boards, streamlining approval.
Absolutely. Upload board photos, and our AI matches thickness, width, and species so quantities are accurate before you place an order at local salvage yards.

When a Fordham landlord wanted to replace worn parquet with modern engineered maple between tenant turnovers, speed was everything. Using CountBricks, the contractor completed a full estimate—demo, subfloor patching, 1,200 sq ft of click-lock planks, and baseboard replacement—in a 12-minute voice session.
• Accurate Material Pull: The AI suggested 68 cartons instead of the contractor’s initial 75, preventing $600 in surplus.
• Haul-Out Adjustments: Fourth-floor walk-up modifiers automatically added two laborers for debris removal, aligning the schedule with city waste pickup rules.
• On-Time Completion: The job wrapped in five days, allowing the landlord to list the unit a full weekend earlier and recover rent faster.
• Use room photos: Our computer vision detects radiator niches and closet bump-outs you might miss on a sketch.
• Pre-set finish templates: Save your go-to stain and sealer combo so it populates with one tap on every new estimate.
• Sync with suppliers: Link your Bronx distributor account; the app will alert you when plank stock dips below required quantities.
• Enable crew check-ins: Field techs clock in through the mobile app, giving real-time labor cost visibility against estimate.
• Offer financing: Add a payment schedule to your PDF in seconds—homeowners love the flexibility, and you lock in the job.
