Flooring may be the first surface your family feels every morning and the last thing guests notice before leaving. In the Bay Area’s fast-moving residential market, installing attractive, durable floors is more than aesthetics—it is instant equity. CountBricks brings together AI-powered estimating, live material pricing, and seasoned installation crews to make every tile and linoleum project predictable, affordable, and beautiful.
• Seismic resilience: Properly installed tile resists cracking during minor seismic shifts common in the Bay Area.
• Moisture resistance: Linoleum’s natural linseed composition repels spills—ideal for coastal fog and busy kitchens.
• Design versatility: From modern porcelain slabs to vintage-inspired linoleum patterns, homeowners can match any architectural style.
• Energy efficiency: Dense tile acts as a thermal mass, stabilizing indoor temperatures and reducing HVAC loads.
Instant AI Takeoffs
Upload a blueprint or snap photos with your phone—CountBricks AI measures every room, deducts door swings, and calculates waste factors for both tiles and linoleum sheets in seconds. No more manual counts or accidental short orders.
Real-Time Material Pricing
Our platform connects directly to regional suppliers, so clients see live costs for ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and premium linoleum brands. This transparency lets Bay Area homeowners lock pricing before volatile freight surcharges creep in.
Integrated Labor Scheduling
The same dashboard that builds your estimate also books CountBricks-certified installers. Homeowners view crew availability, anticipated durations, and milestone payments—without separate apps or email chains.

8. Walk-Through & Invoice: Items auto-populate into a final invoice—no math surprises.
High-Moisture Areas
Tile’s fired surface repels standing water, making it the gold standard for Bay Area bathrooms. Choose slip-resistant porcelain if seniors or children use the space.
Open-Plan Kitchens
Linoleum delivers a continuous, seam-controlled surface that hides expansion joints beneath cabinetry. Its softer underfoot feel reduces fatigue during long cooking sessions.
Rental ADUs
Lighter-weight click linoleum installs faster, cutting vacancy downtime. CountBricks crews can often complete a 400-sq-ft ADU in a single day.
Bay Area building code requires anti-fracture membranes over concrete slabs before tile. CountBricks AI flags these code items automatically, preventing costly inspector callbacks.
• Standard 12" ceramic tile install: $13–$18 per sq ft complete
• Large-format porcelain: $18–$26 per sq ft complete
• Natural linoleum sheet with heat-welded seams: $11–$15 per sq ft complete
• Premium patterned linoleum tiles: $14–$19 per sq ft complete
CountBricks updates these ranges nightly. Confirm today’s exact numbers inside your live estimate at CountBricks.com/services.
• Order 10 % extra tile for patterns; AI includes waste but patterned layouts need a buffer.
• Install plywood underlayment over original subfloors older than 1970 for optimal linoleum adhesion.
• Use epoxy grout in kitchens to block red wine and espresso stains.
• Schedule grout sealing 72 hours after install; CountBricks crews add this to the calendar automatically.
• Photograph every finished room; images feed directly into your CountBricks warranty record.
A 1940s bungalow needed a durable yet period-correct floor. CountBricks AI created side-by-side estimates for hex porcelain tile and marbled linoleum. The homeowner chose linoleum to echo the original look. The final scope included subfloor leveling, sheet cuts, and heat-welded seams—all completed in two days. Post-install air quality tests showed near-zero VOC emissions, a win for the homeowner’s newborn nursery down the hall. View photos at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
