From Fondren’s historic cottages to new builds on the Reservoir, Central Mississippi homeowners can’t get enough of natural wood floors. They bring warmth, boost resale value and stand up to the region’s humid subtropical climate when installed correctly. Yet one challenge remains: predicting the real cost in advance. That’s where CountBricks and our AI-driven estimating platform redefine the game, delivering razor-accurate numbers in minutes instead of days.
• Instantly elevates everything from Craftsman bungalows to contemporary farmhouses
• Accepts stain beautifully, letting you match Delta blues dark or coastal light palettes
• Engineered options resist cupping during Mississippi’s wet summers
• Hypoallergenic surface traps less dust and pollen than carpet—key for allergy-prone households during spring bloom
• Responsibly harvested hardwoods lower a build’s embodied carbon compared with many synthetic floors
• White Oak: Stable, accepts custom stains; our local supplier keeps ample 3¼″ stock
• Hickory: Rustic grain hides everyday scuffs from pets and kids
• Southern Pine: Budget-friendly solid option that fits historic Jackson aesthetics
• Engineered Birch: Ideal for slabs on grade; layered core resists moisture
Solid hardwood typically ranges from $5–$8 per sq ft, while premium engineered planks can reach $10–$12. CountBricks’ live materials database pulls local distributor pricing the moment you request an estimate, so there are no surprise spikes.
Installation averages $3–$6 per sq ft depending on demolition needs, subfloor prep and pattern complexity (straight lay vs. herringbone). Our algorithm references verified Jackson MS labor rates updated weekly.
• Moisture barrier membrane: $0.60–$0.90 per sq ft

A 1930s cottage in Jackson’s Belhaven District needed to blend its original heart-pine living room with a new kitchen addition. The homeowner’s main concerns were cost transparency and minimizing family disruption.
During the first walk-through, our project manager opened the CountBricks voice app, described each room and flagged a transition into tile. The AI engine produced a line-item estimate—materials $4,320, labor $3,050, contingencies $485—emailed before we left the driveway.
• Pre-fabricated flush vents arrived synced to the start date, eliminating mid-project delays
• Moisture readings populated automatically in the CountBricks dashboard, triggering an engine suggestion to upgrade to a Class II vapor retarder—accepted with one tap by the client
• A live Gantt chart updated every evening, allowing the family to schedule pet boarding only on sanding days
The project finished two days early, saving $480 in labor. Post-completion, the homeowner used their portal to book a future maintenance recoat for summer 2027, locking in today’s pricing.
• Order 8–10 % overage in Jackson’s older homes where walls are rarely square
• Choose satin finish; it hides Delta dust better than gloss and requires fewer touch-ups
• Install HVAC before flooring to stabilize humidity—CountBricks schedules trades in the optimal sequence
