A flooring crew using CountBricks secured a 1,100 sq ft Uptown hardwood refinish after the homeowner's previous contractor failed to deliver. Here's how the project unfolded:
1. On Friday at 4 p.m., the crew measured each room with voice input. CountBricks generated a full sand-and-finish estimate—labor, stain, water-based poly, and quarter-round replacement—in under five minutes.
2. The AI pulled live pricing from their preferred local supplier, showing a weekend sale on finish materials. Savings were instantly passed to the client, who signed digitally before dinner.
3. Saturday morning, tasks imported directly into the crew's CountBricks schedule. Material orders auto-populated for curbside pickup.
4. By Sunday evening, the floors gleamed, and the invoice—mirroring the original estimate—was sent with one tap. Payment hit their account Monday.
