Dallas houses are famous for their airy layouts, sun-drenched rooms, and—when properly maintained—gleaming hardwood floors. When those boards dull or scratch, CountBricks steps in with a data-driven, craftsmanship-focused approach that restores the warmth and value under your feet. Our AI estimate engine, live voice capture, and real-time material pricing remove the guesswork from “How much will it cost?” while our veteran refinishing crews answer the bigger question: “How good can my floors look?”
Talk to our AI estimator from your kitchen. In less than five minutes we capture room dimensions, species, current finish, and traffic patterns. CountBricks.com/services generates a line-item quote that adjusts automatically to Dallas lumber market pricing.
No old tapes or hand sketches. Upload existing plans or a quick smartphone scan and let CountBricks AI measure every nook. The result: zero material over-ordering and transparent waste factors clearly listed on your proposal.
Our project lead verifies subfloor conditions, moisture levels, and furniture logistics. We then map a negative-pressure containment zone so your HVAC stays clean and your family keeps breathing easy.
1. Rough cut: removal of old finish, surface scratches, and minor cupping.
2. Fine sanding: progressive grits create a glass-smooth surface ready for stain.
3. Finish coats: water-based or oil-modified polyurethane applied in climate-controlled conditions.
Climate Swing Accommodation
Dallas humidity can swing 30 % in a day. CountBricks moisture sensors tell us whether to add extra dry-time between coats or schedule your project for a less volatile week.
Prevailing Wage & Permit Fees
While refinishing usually avoids permits, historical districts like Munger Place may require finish approval. CountBricks handles the paperwork and builds any fees into your upfront AI estimate.
Species & Plank Width
Red oak remains the local staple, but we increasingly see hand-scraped hickory and engineered maple. Each species reacts differently to stains; CountBricks provides three on-site sample boards so you know exactly how the final tone will cure.
• Refinishing costs about one-third of new floor installation when joists are sound.
• Turnaround is typically three days instead of a full week.
• Refinishing preserves original plank character prized in historic Dallas neighborhoods.
CountBricks technicians will always recommend replacement if boards are under 3⁄8" after sanding or show systemic water damage. Your AI estimate will automatically pivot to a replacement scope so you can evaluate both options side by side.
1. Day 0: Voice-based estimate and digital proposal.
2. Day 1-2: On-site verification and signed e-contract via CountBricks.com/portal.
3. Day 3-5: Refinishing execution, with nightly progress photos uploaded to your client dashboard.
4. Day 6: Final walkthrough, cure instructions, and digital invoice.
Daily: Microfiber dust mop to catch Texas red-clay grit.
Weekly: pH-neutral cleaner approved by CountBricks chemists.
Seasonally: Maintain indoor humidity between 40-55 % to prevent gapping.
• Place felt pads under barstools—Dallas open-concept kitchens funnel abrasive crumbs straight to seating areas.
• Use area rugs with breathable pads; rubber-backed mats trap moisture in humid months.
• Schedule a screen-and-recoat every three years; it costs 20 % of a full refinish and keeps scratches superficial.
• Turn dog nails weekly; pet traffic is the number-one cause of premature finish wear in our service logs.
• Don’t rely on vinegar solutions—acidic cleaners dull water-based polyurethane faster than foot traffic.
Traditional bids fluctuate when lumber costs spike or crews hit traffic on LBJ Freeway. CountBricks AI monitors live supplier feeds and travel times so your estimate remains locked once accepted. Homeowners report saving an average of 11 % compared to legacy contractor overruns.
Can I stay in my home during refinishing?
Yes. Our dust containment and low-VOC finishes allow you to occupy unaffected rooms.
How long before furniture can return?
Light foot traffic after 24 hours; furniture pads after 48 hours; rugs after seven days.
Will refinishing erase pet stains?
Minor stains are sanded out. Deep black stains may require board replacement; CountBricks stocks reclaimed red oak for a seamless match.

When the Martinez family purchased a 1980s ranch in Lake Highlands, its red oak floors were hidden beneath two decades of polyurethane yellowing and pet scratches. A replacement bid from a traditional contractor came in at $24,000 and four weeks. CountBricks offered a smarter path.
1. AI Estimate: 1,650 sq ft logged via our mobile voice interview in under four minutes—projected cost $7,850.
2. Moisture Audit: Readings averaged 8 %, perfect for water-based finishes that cure fast in Dallas’ climate.
3. Color Mock-ups: Three custom stain samples laid next to the family’s walnut furniture for comparison.
• 98 % airborne dust capture with dual-stage HEPA vacuums saved the homeowners an estimated $600 in post-cleaning fees.
• A traffic-tough commercial satin finish allowed the family’s Labrador back on the floor within 36 hours.
• Digital progress photos documented each sanding pass, giving the Martinezes confidence from their office downtown.
The project finished one day early at the quoted price. An independent appraiser recorded a $19,000 increase in home value—an ROI that surpassed a full replacement at half the cost and in one-third the time.
Wood floor refinishing isn’t limited to traditional planks. CountBricks crews regularly restore:
• Patterned parquet in Mid-Century Modern homes
• Wide-plank hand-scraped hickory in suburban new builds
• Engineered oak over radiant heat systems where temperature control is critical
