Few upgrades add as much warmth and resale value to a Crescent City home as genuine hardwood flooring. From historic Creole cottages in the Marigny to modern condos in the Warehouse District, hardwood floors New Orleans residents love share two traits: timeless beauty and expert installation. CountBricks pairs AI-powered estimating with experienced local crews to make that happen.
Charm that Matches the Architecture
Architectural heritage is a point of pride here. Solid oak or heart-pine planks complement shotgun doubles, while sleek maple suits contemporary builds. Installing hardwood signals respect for the city’s visual story.
Increased Property Value
Realtors consistently report that hardwood floors boost sale prices and shorten time on market. CountBricks AI quotations document ROI so you can see the numbers before work begins.
New Orleans humidity and seasonal flooding present real risks for wood. Our software and field teams mitigate those risks at every stage.
• Species Selection: CountBricks databases rank wood by dimensional stability. Cypress, white oak, and engineered hickory top the list for coastal climates.
• Moisture Readings: Installers use Bluetooth hygrometers synced to CountBricks mobile, logging slab and plank moisture in real time.
• Acclimation Protocol: AI generates a job-specific acclimation schedule so planks adjust to your home’s relative humidity before nailing begins.
Traditional estimates can miss hidden line items such as baseboard removal or subfloor repair. CountBricks eliminates surprises.

A 1910 Victorian on Magazine Street needed new life after decades of carpet. The homeowner wanted heart-pine floors to honor the home’s history while ensuring stability against Louisiana humidity.
• Scope: 1,450 sq. ft. of reclaimed heart-pine
• Timeline: 14 working days
• Budget: $17,800 (final invoice matched AI estimate within 1.2 %)
• Uneven Subfloor – Our laser level scan showed ⅜-inch variance. The crew installed self-leveling compound and new plywood, cost automatically added by CountBricks AI to avoid surprise change orders.
• High Moisture Readings – Pre-installation tests recorded 14 % moisture. We delayed installation three days, ran industrial dehumidifiers, and documented readings in the client portal until moisture dropped below 11 %.
• Stair Tread Customization – The original staircase required custom bull-nose treads. CountBricks carpenters milled matching heart-pine on site, preserving the vintage profile.
• Visual Impact: Honey-toned heart-pine now flows through parlor, dining, and bedrooms, complementing ornate crown moldings.
• Performance: Six months of sensor data show plank movement below 1⁄32-inch, well inside NWFA tolerances.
• Client Feedback: “The AI quote was spot on, and the crew treated our house like a landmark.”
• Early moisture diagnostics save both wood and wallet.
• Reclaimed materials can meet modern performance standards when paired with data-driven planning.
• Transparent AI estimates build trust and keep budgets intact.
