Linoleum served homeowners faithfully for decades, but foot traffic, sun exposure, and changing design tastes eventually leave the surface faded, brittle, and dated. When it is time to replace linoleum flooring, CountBricks delivers a faster, smarter, and more accurate experience than traditional estimating firms or big-box installers. Our AI-powered voice platform captures square footage, calculates waste factors, and prices materials in real time—while you simply talk through your project on site.
• Improved resale value: A fresh floor ranks among the top five ROI upgrades in residential construction.
• Allergy reduction: Aging linoleum can trap dust and harbor mold under seams.
• Style refresh: Clients now favor luxury vinyl plank, engineered hardwood, and large-format tile for a contemporary look.
• Better durability: New resilient products outperform 1970s linoleum by a wide margin.
Understanding cost variables empowers confident decision-making. CountBricks AI evaluates each factor automatically during your voice walk-through.
• Tear-out complexity: Perimeter-bonded linoleum lifts easily; full-spread glue-down requires more labor.
• Subfloor repairs: Moisture damage, squeaks, or leveling compounds add time and materials.
• Finish material: Sheet vinyl remains budget-friendly, while stone-look LVP and cork step up price but offer premium performance.
• Trim and transitions: New shoe molding, thresholds, and baseboards complete the professional finish.

• Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): Waterproof cores, deep texture, and simple click-lock installation make LVP the leading replacement choice.
• Sheet Vinyl 2.0: Modern sheets mimic stone or wood, seam-bond chemically, and resist scuffs far better than old linoleum.
• Cork Floating Tiles: Renewable, soft underfoot, and naturally antimicrobial, ideal for kitchens.
• Engineered Hardwood: Real wood veneer with a stable plywood core, providing premium value without full-thickness hardwood cost.
• Order 10 percent overage for pattern matching on planks or tiles.
• Consider adding acoustic underlayment in multifamily units to meet HOA sound ratings.
• Schedule delivery 48 hours before install so products acclimate to interior humidity.
A motivated homeowner may tackle small bathrooms, but full-level replacements often reveal hidden subfloor issues and plumbing penetrations. CountBricks provides side-by-side cost comparisons so you see the value a certified installer adds in warranty protection and timeline certainty.
How long does the process take?
A standard 600-square-foot main level usually wraps in three working days, including tear-out, minor subfloor touch-ups, and new floor installation.
Can I live in the home during replacement?
Yes. Crews stage materials room by room, leaving pathways clear. CountBricks live chat keeps you updated on daily progress.
What about eco-friendly disposal?
We partner with recycling centers that turn linoleum waste into energy feedstock, and disposal fees appear itemized in your quote.
