San Diego homeowners love the warmth and value genuine hardwood adds to a property. Yet coastal humidity, sandy foot traffic, and everyday wear eventually dull even the best-laid planks. When floors lose their luster, refinishing is the smart way to revive them without the cost of full replacement. At CountBricks, we combine AI-powered estimating, voice-enabled site capture, and seasoned craftspeople to deliver flawless results—on schedule and on budget.
• Up to 50 % cost savings compared with new floor installation
• Keeps original character wood species that may be hard to source today
• Minimal demolition = less mess and faster project turnaround
• Boosts resale value and curb appeal for San Diego’s competitive housing market
Traditional quotes rely on handwritten notes and rough square-foot multipliers. CountBricks replaces guesswork with AI. Our mobile app listens to the onsite conversation, measures each room via photo or blueprint upload, and cross-checks current San Diego material and labor rates in real time. Within minutes you receive a transparent line-item estimate—no hidden fees, no surprises. Review it anytime at CountBricks.com/services.
San Diego prices trend slightly higher than the national average due to local labor rates and strict VOC (volatile organic compound) regulations. CountBricks clients typically see:
• $3.50–$5.00 per square foot for standard sanding and water-based polyurethane
• $5.25–$7.50 per square foot for custom stains, oil-based finishes, or intricate parquet
• $1.00–$1.50 per linear foot for baseboard removal and reinstall
Remember, final costs depend on floor thickness, damage depth, and access constraints. Our AI tools factor every variable so you know the exact investment before work begins.
