Brooklyn brownstones and loft conversions are famous for exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and—when done right—warm, character-rich hardwood floors. Whether you’re renovating a Park Slope townhouse or refreshing a Williamsburg condo, choosing the right partner for estimating, sourcing, and installing wood flooring is critical. CountBricks combines AI-driven estimating with field-tested installation crews to streamline every phase of your project.
• Older housing stock means uneven subfloors, hidden joist damage, and mixed materials
• Tight urban logistics require precise material orders to avoid site congestion
• Homeowners expect eco-friendly products and fast, transparent pricing
Traditional estimating methods often miss these nuances. CountBricks eliminates the guesswork by capturing site data through real-time voice notes and instant blueprint takeoffs, then generating a line-item estimate that reflects current Brooklyn material pricing down to the linear foot.
Homeowners and small-volume contractors typing “wood flooring brooklyn ny” want three things:
1. Local expertise with pre-vetted installers
2. Fast, accurate pricing
3. Guidance on sustainable material options
CountBricks addresses all three. Our cloud platform cross-references borough-specific labor rates, FSC-certified wood suppliers, and even Staten Island ferry delivery surcharges so your estimate is both local and transparent.
1. Speak: Walk the site and describe conditions—our mobile app transcribes measurements and scope in real time.
2. Calculate: The AI engine matches your input to our Brooklyn cost database and produces a detailed estimate in under five minutes.
3. Approve: Homeowners review a branded PDF proposal featuring optional upgrades like sound-dampening underlayment or reclaimed oak.
4. Execute: CountBricks installation teams arrive with just-in-time material deliveries, minimizing street parking issues.
5. Invoice: Final numbers auto-populate based on actual task completion, so you’re paid faster and with zero spreadsheet cleanup.

A 19th-century brownstone on 8th Street needed to replace water-damaged parquet with modern wide-plank walnut. The homeowner feared hidden subfloor surprises and escalating costs.
1. The contractor walked the duplex with CountBricks’ mobile mic running.
2. Voice notes flagged joist squeaks and a leaning radiator.
3. Photos auto-tagged “Garden Level” and “Parlor Level,” populating two cost centers.
• Subfloor sistering allowance added automatically after joist squeak tag
• Radiator lift coded as a separate labor task to keep HVAC crews on schedule
• Material waste factor reduced from 12 % to 7 % because room shapes were rectangular—saving $1,140
