When the Herrera family purchased a 1970s ranch on the north side of McAllen, the original linoleum had yellowed beyond repair. They wanted a modern, low-maintenance floor that could handle large family gatherings and the occasional indoor piñata party. Here’s how CountBricks delivered a 2,100 sq ft porcelain makeover—on time and $1,850 under budget.
• Scope: Remove linoleum and 160 sq ft of sunken living-room carpet, prep slab, install 24 x 24 matte-finish porcelain throughout.
• Timeline: 8 working days from demolition to final seal.
• Total Cost: $29,740 or $14.16 per sq ft installed.
During the initial voice walkthrough, our estimator noted a 3/8-inch dip running lengthwise across the kitchen. The CountBricks AI automatically added 12 self-leveling bags to the materials list, preventing last-minute change orders. Because our system tapped three local distributors in real time, we locked in a promotional pallet rate that cut material cost by 7 %.
1. Precision Layout: Using CountBricks blueprint takeoffs, we centered the grid on the main hallway, aligning grout joints from front entry to patio slider—zero awkward slivers.
2. Temperature Management: Crews began setting tile at 6 AM before peak heat, while portable AC units maintained thin-set performance.
3. Real-Time Punch-List: As rooms finished, the supervisor uploaded 360° photos. The homeowners flagged a single chipped corner, replaced within the hour.
• Cooling Effect: Infrared scans showed the porcelain surface averaging 6 °F cooler than the previous flooring.
• Easy Upkeep: Weekly damp mopping keeps the light-gray grout pristine—no waxing, no buffing.
• Increased Value: A recent appraisal added $18,000 to the home’s market price, largely attributed to the upgraded flooring.
