Annapolis architecture is a blend of coastal charm and colonial heritage, and nothing anchors that aesthetic quite like premium hardwood flooring. Whether you are renovating a historic row house off Main Street or finishing a new build on the Severn River, the right planks elevate resale value, acoustics, and everyday comfort. CountBricks specializes in planning, estimating, and installing hardwood floors Annapolis residents can rely on for generations.
Our cloud platform captures real-time voice notes during a site walk-through, turns them into exact material takeoffs, and delivers a line-item estimate in minutes. No more back-and-forth spreadsheets or surprise overages—just transparent residential construction budgeting you can share with lenders or insurers immediately.
• Instant square-footage calculations from blueprint uploads
• Live pricing pulled from regional suppliers for oak, maple, hickory, or exotic species
• Automatic labor hour mapping matched to National Construction Cost Database standards
1. Material grade and width: Narrow select-grade oak remains the Annapolis classic, while modern builds often choose wide-plank engineered white oak for coastal stability.
2. Subfloor condition: Crawl-space moisture and older pine planks can require additional leveling compound or marine-grade plywood.
3. Finish options: Water-based polyurethane cures fast for tight project timelines; penetrating oil finishes demand longer buffing but showcase natural grain.
4. Layout complexity: Diagonal installs or inlay borders around fireplaces add labor hours that CountBricks estimates automatically.

• Keep indoor humidity between 35-55 % using smart thermostats
• Place felt pads under furniture and swap out seasonal rugs to reduce UV shadowing

• Schedule a light screen-and-recoat through CountBricks.com/services every 3-5 years
Near-water environments create daily humidity swings. Engineered hardwood’s cross-laminated core minimizes cupping while delivering the same resale premium as solid planks. CountBricks sources low-VOC engineered products that meet Maryland Green Building standards and qualify for local tax incentives.
The owners of a 1908 brick row house wanted to replace dated vinyl with period-appropriate flooring. CountBricks scanned the existing layout, identified joist spacing issues, and produced a 17-page AI estimate—all during the initial call. With selective subfloor reinforcement and rift-sawn white oak, the project finished two days ahead of schedule and under budget by 3.2 %. View photos at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

The Chesapeake Bay rewards locals with stunning water views but tests every wood surface daily. CountBricks project consultants guide clients through three proven species profiles that thrive in Annapolis:
• White Oak: Closed grain and tannin-rich composition make white oak resistant to rot and ideal for waterfront homes where sand and damp shoes are common.
• Hickory: The hardest domestic species we install, hickory laughs off pet claws and dropped cookware. Its dramatic grain is perfect for open-concept kitchens that double as entertaining hubs.
• Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) Engineered: When exotic warmth is non-negotiable, engineered Jatoba provides deep color without the movement risks of solid imports.
• Order 7-10 % overage through CountBricks so seams pull from the same dye lot and age uniformly.
• Opt for UV-cured factory finishes if your renovation timeline is tight—foot traffic can resume within 24 hours.
• Use staggered board lengths of 4–10 feet to avoid repetitive patterns that can date the look of your new floor.
Every CountBricks floor comes with a transferable 25-year structural warranty and a 5-year finish warranty registered online. Should a plumbing mishap occur, our digital records let insurance adjusters verify spec sheets instantly, accelerating your claim.
