Open-concept floorplans and foodie culture have pushed many homeowners to upgrade to pro-style ranges. The moment a 48-inch range enters the design, the next question is the commercial vent hood installation cost. At CountBricks, we generate real-time estimates with voice-driven AI, so our data comes straight from current material prices and local labor rates—not last year’s averages.
• A 36-inch stainless hood starts around $1,000, while a 60-inch, 1200 CFM welded stainless model can exceed $4,500.
• Decorative finishes—powder coat colors, brass trim, custom millwork surrounds—add 15-25 % to material cost.
• CountBricks.com/services shows how we source brand-neutral equipment to fit both budget and aesthetic.
• Straight-through exterior runs keep cost low, averaging $350–$650.
• Multiple elbows, long roof penetrations, or fire-rated shafts in multi-story homes can push duct costs above $1,800.
• Our AI takeoff tool measures duct length from PDF plans in seconds, eliminating guesswork.
• Dedicated 110-v circuits for the blower and integrated lighting typically run $250–$400.
• Variable-speed controllers or make-up air systems add $300–$1,200.
• CountBricks electricians coordinate on-site to ensure code compliance and keep wall finishes intact.
• Island hoods may require blocking or steel support hidden in ceiling joists—$150–$600.
• If the hood exceeds 150 lbs, CountBricks carpenters design reinforcements that blend seamlessly with the drywall plane.
• In most metro markets, skilled mechanical labor for residential work ranges from $65–$95 per hour.
• Tight remodel schedules or after-hours installs can increase rates by 10-20 %.
• Using CountBricks voice capture, you’ll confirm square footage, ceiling height, and finish dates on-site; our AI schedules trades accordingly and prevents overtime premiums.
• Ventilation permits run $50–$400 depending on municipality.
• CountBricks handles permit submittals digitally, so homeowners never stand in line at City Hall.
For a typical 42-inch commercial-grade hood in a single-story house, CountBricks clients see:
• Low complexity: $3,200–$4,100 complete
• Moderate complexity: $4,200–$5,800 complete
• High complexity (long duct run, makeup air, designer cladding): $6,000–$9,500+
