Hardwood floors add instant warmth, resale value, and Texas-style durability to any residence. When Fort Worth homeowners decide to upgrade, they face two big questions: How much will it cost and who can handle every detail? CountBricks answers both with AI-driven accuracy, real-time material pricing, and a voice-guided estimating experience that turns ideas into line-item budgets in minutes.
• Classic appearance that complements everything from Craftsman bungalows to modern townhomes
• Long life span—even in high-traffic spaces—when installed and finished correctly
• Excellent return on investment for resale in Greater Fort Worth’s competitive housing market
• Hypoallergenic surface that’s easy to clean in North Texas’s dust-prone climate
1. Species Selection
Red oak remains popular for its balance of price and strength, while white oak, hickory, and maple command higher rates. CountBricks pulls daily lumber prices to show side-by-side comparisons before you commit.
2. Board Width & Grade
Wider planks create a luxurious look but require fewer boards per square foot. Character-grade boards bring rustic knots Fort Worth homeowners love, yet may need more finishing labor.
3. Subfloor Conditions
Existing slab moisture, levelness, and prior floor removal all influence prep work. Our AI estimators document every variable via voice input to remove guesswork.
4. Finish System
Oil-based poly, water-based poly, or penetrating hard-wax oils each vary in price and dry time. CountBricks compares finish systems so you can weigh speed versus durability.
