From the sun-washed craftsman bungalows of North Park to the modern beach homes in La Jolla, San Diego homeowners share one common design goal: resilient, timeless flooring that handles coastal living. Hardwood delivers that blend of beauty and durability, and CountBricks is the partner that makes the journey—from first idea to final coat of finish—effortless.
Climate Compatibility – San Diego’s mild temperature swings mean less seasonal movement in solid planks, extending floor life.
High Resale Value – Real estate data shows buyers in the region pay a premium for authentic hardwood over laminate or carpet.
Easy Coastal Maintenance – A quick sweep removes beach sand; periodic refinishing keeps boards looking new for decades.
Style Versatility – White-oak wide planks fit coastal chic, while rich walnut matches historic Spanish interiors.
• Select-grade red oak starts around $5 / sq ft, while imported teak can exceed $15 / sq ft
• Engineered hardwood remains stable over slab foundations common in San Diego tract homes
• Slab moisture mitigation averages $1.75 / sq ft
• Demolition of existing tile or carpet runs $0.50-$1.25 / sq ft, depending on adhesive residue
• Straight-lay installation is fastest; herringbone patterns add 15-25% labor time
• Stair nosings and flush vents require custom carpentry billed hourly
• Oil-based polyurethane offers warm amber tones but longer cure times
• Low-VOC waterborne finishes cure in hours—ideal for families who want rapid re-occupancy

• Install area rugs with breathable pads in entryways to trap beach sand.
