When homeowners type “cost to clean ducts” into a search bar, they want two things: a trustworthy dollar figure and a clear plan to protect indoor air quality. CountBricks delivers both. By blending AI-generated takeoffs, live voice capture, and current materials pricing, our platform produces lightning-fast estimates that remove the guesswork from residential duct cleaning and every other trade on your remodel or new-build project.
• Improves HVAC efficiency and lowers monthly utility bills
• Reduces dust, pollen, and mold spores that circulate through living spaces
• Protects high-value finishes from airborne debris during construction
• Helps meet modern indoor air quality requirements that buyers now demand
Nationwide residential averages range from $350 to $700 for an entire system, but real numbers go deeper:
1. Per supply/return register: $25 – $40 each
2. Fixed mobilization fee: $100 – $150 per trip
3. Furnace blower compartment cleaning: $75 – $125
CountBricks factors every line item automatically. During a voice conversation with the client, our software logs the total register count, square footage, and system age, then assigns market-verified unit costs pulled from CountBricks’ materials and labor database. The result: an itemized quote that is transparent, defensible, and ready to share in minutes.
• Home size and duct length: Larger ranch layouts often have 20+ registers.
• Accessibility: Crawl spaces and attic runs add labor hours and PPE expenses.
• Contamination level: Post-renovation dust or visible mold calls for HEPA vacuums and antimicrobial fogging.
• Location: Labor rates in dense metros trend 10–15% higher than suburban markets.
• Add-on services: Dryer vent cleaning or coil sanitation increases ticket size but boosts HVAC performance.
1. Voice Capture: While you inspect the mechanical room, speak register counts and system notes. CountBricks converts speech to structured data in real time.
2. AI Takeoff: Upload the home’s PDF floor plan or snap photos of supply grilles. Our algorithm traces duct runs and populates quantities instantly.
3. Dynamic Pricing: The platform pings local labor and material indexes every 15 minutes to reflect current rates—no more stale price books.

A Des Moines remodeler recently wrapped a 2,600-sq-ft attic dormer addition. Drywall dust blanketed every duct run, and the homeowner demanded a rush cleaning before move-in.
Traditional estimating required crawling the attic, scribbling register counts, then referencing out-of-date spreadsheets—often a two-hour chore that still produced vague allowances.

2. AI voice capture populated quantity fields in real time.
3. He uploaded the PDF as-built plan from his phone. In 30 seconds, CountBricks traced duct paths to verify lengths and flagged a hidden chase needing negative-pressure cleaning.
4. The platform surfaced current Des Moines labor rates and HEPA equipment rental costs.
5. A branded proposal—$672 total, line-itemed—was texted to the homeowner before the estimator had backed out of the driveway.

• Homeowner approved the bid within one hour, impressed by detail
