When homeowners start dreaming about a stylish, low-maintenance floor, laminate is usually near the top of the list. Yet the real difference between a showroom-ready finish and a creaky disappointment comes down to the contractor you choose. At CountBricks, we combine proven craftsmanship with proprietary AI technology to deliver accurate estimates, predictable timelines and picture-perfect results for every residential project.
• Affordability without sacrificing visual appeal

Homeowners love laminate because it brings the look of hardwood or stone at a fraction of the cost. What they don’t love is budget creep and installation delays. That’s where a data-driven contractor makes all the difference.
Laminate floors click together—simple, right? In reality, subfloor imperfections, moisture levels and expansion gaps can make or break the final result. A single mis-measured room can lead to bowed planks and costly rework. Seasoned contractors rely on detailed takeoffs, moisture testing and disciplined site preparation to eliminate surprises.

• Entry-level 7 mm planks: $4.50 – $6.00 per sq ft installed

No. Laminate is a dry installation—no strong odors or curing time. CountBricks installers cordon off the work zone so you can live comfortably during the process.
Yes, as long as the plank is rated for radiant systems and temperatures stay below 80 °F. CountBricks technicians verify specs before installation.

The Alvarez family purchased a 1990s tract home with tired carpet throughout the main level. They wanted a modern, low-maintenance alternative before moving in—without delaying their closing timeline.
• 750 sq ft of mixed subfloor heights after carpet removal
• Tight two-week window between closing and move-in
• Desire for a seamless transition into an existing tile kitchen
1. Our estimator conducted a 15-minute voice walkthrough the day after closing. The CountBricks platform generated a line-item quote, including leveling compound and matching T-mold transitions.
2. Because all dimensions fed directly into our blueprint takeoff engine, purchase orders fired that same afternoon. Materials arrived on site four days later—no rush fees.
3. A two-person crew used self-leveling underlayment to correct 3⁄8-inch dips, then installed a 12 mm water-resistant oak laminate with a 30-year warranty. Total install time: three days.
4. Final cost landed at $6.82 per sq ft, exactly 0.4 % below the original estimate tracked in the CountBricks dashboard.
• Zero squeaks or bounce thanks to precise subfloor prep
• Cohesive flow from laminate to tile with color-matched transitions
• Project completed two days before the movers arrived
