Sunny weather, modern architecture, and a love for indoor–outdoor living make polished concrete one of the fastest-growing flooring choices for Los Angeles homeowners. Yet turning a rough slab into a sleek, mirror-like surface demands precision planning and cost control. CountBricks combines real-time voice capture, AI estimating, and blueprint takeoffs to make every polish Los Angeles project predictable and profitable.
• Modern aesthetics that pair with mid-century to minimalist décor
• High light reflectivity for brighter, energy-efficient interiors
• Allergy-friendly surface with no grout lines or fibers
• Exceptional durability against pets, parties, and Pacific sand
• Lower life-cycle cost than many hardwood or tile options
CountBricks AI pulls current labor rates, supply chain data, and regional markups to pinpoint the true budget. The five biggest factors we track for polish Los Angeles projects:
1. Slab condition: cracks, coatings, or moisture barriers increase prep time
2. Desired gloss level: 400-grit hone differs greatly from 3,000-grit high-sheen
3. Aggregate exposure: salt-and-pepper cut vs. full-stone reveal
4. Home accessibility: hillside lots often require portable generators and extra staging
5. Specialty dyes or inlays: custom logos and colors add material and labor complexity
Voice-to-Estimate technology records your site walk-through. As you say “400 square feet living room, prior epoxy present,” CountBricks auto-populates tasks, production rates, and material SKUs.
Live Pricing syncs with Southern California suppliers every hour, ensuring cement densifiers, diamond tooling, and lithium guard treatments reflect real-time costs.
Instant Blueprints can upload a PDF plan or snap photos on your phone; the AI extracts slab areas, perimeter edges, and control joints for line-item accuracy.
