When homeowners search for “ductz prices,” they are usually looking for two things: a reliable ballpark cost for professional air-duct cleaning or replacement, and a trusted partner who can deliver that service without hidden fees. At CountBricks, we help residential construction contractors meet that need with AI-driven estimating tools that calculate real-time labor, material, and equipment costs—then generate ready-to-send quotes in seconds.
• Indoor air quality is now a top homeowner priority, so detailed duct work is appearing in more renovation scopes.
• Labor and material volatility means a quote that was profitable three months ago may lose money today.
• Municipal energy codes increasingly require duct sealing, insulation, and verification, adding complexity to pricing.
CountBricks synchronizes with live material databases and regional labor rates. Our voice interface lets you walk the site, speak line items aloud, and watch the estimate build itself in real time—no more guesswork.
The actual number will vary by home size, system layout, and local wage rates, but contractors using CountBricks report the following averages for single-family projects:
• Basic cleaning for a 1,500 sq ft home: $350 – $550
• Cleaning plus antimicrobial treatment: $550 – $800
• Minor repair & seal leaks during cleaning: $700 – $1,100
• Full duct replacement (flex to rigid metal) per linear foot: $14 – $22
Because those figures pull directly from CountBricks’ constantly refreshed cost engine, they reflect current market conditions in most U.S. regions. You can localize every number further inside CountBricks.com/services.
1. Duct accessibility
A ranch home with an unfinished basement has quick runs and open joists, cutting labor hours by 30%. By contrast, a two-story with finished ceilings requires drywall access holes that drive up costs. CountBricks voice prompts ask you to tag each run as “open” or “concealed,” automatically adjusting labor.
2. Contamination level
Pet dander, mold, or post-renovation debris means extra passes and HEPA vac time. CountBricks lets you add contamination severity with one spoken command, and our AI adds time, filter changes, and disposal fees.
3. Equipment choices
High-pressure negative-air rigs clean faster but rent higher. Some crews own equipment; others rent. Within CountBricks you can save custom equipment profiles to reflect your true cost of ownership.
4. Ancillary repairs
Replacing rusted registers, adding access panels, or re-insulating attic runs can double the ticket. The CountBricks task library includes hundreds of common add-ons so nothing gets missed in the field.
• Speak measurements and tasks on-site; our AI transcribes and categorizes them instantly.
• Confirm suggested quantities on your phone. If you change a dimension, material counts update automatically.
• Apply regional cost databases or upload your own price sheets.
• Generate branded proposals complete with scope narrative, exclusions, and payment schedule—ready to email before you leave the driveway.
• Convert approved quotes into invoices with one tap, maintaining perfect cost tracking through project closeout.
A CountBricks client in New York needed to price a 3,200 sq ft brownstone retrofitted with new supply and return trunks. Using our voice workflow, the estimator captured 276 linear feet of flex duct removal, 230 linear feet of new rigid spiral, 38 registers, and an inline HEPA filter. CountBricks pulled current prices for 26-gauge galvanized, zip screws, mastic, and R-8 sleeve insulation. The AI calculated:
• Materials: $7,860
• Labor: $10,420 at prevailing wage
• Equipment & disposal: $1,140
Total duct package: $19,420
The contractor emailed the proposal from the van, won the job the next morning, and matched final costs within 2% of estimate—thanks to CountBricks’ accuracy.
• Schedule cleanings during low-humidity months; drying time drops, boosting crew productivity.
• Pre-inspect registers to price replacements in the original quote—no awkward change orders.
• Offer tiered service levels (basic, plus, premium) so homeowners self-select a higher value package.
• Leverage CountBricks templates to standardize scope language and reduce admin overhead.
• Use CountBricks blueprint takeoffs to measure duct runs before the walk-through and arrive with numbers in hand.
Once your duct job is accepted, CountBricks pushes the estimate into the project dashboard. Field supervisors mark tasks complete via voice or tap, automatically updating progress billing. Homeowners receive polished invoices linked to the original quote, reinforcing transparency and professionalism.

1. Approve the estimate and CountBricks automatically creates a task schedule aligned with crew capacity and lead times for sheet metal, flex, or sealant.
2. Material quantities export to your preferred supplier format, or you can order directly through the CountBricks procurement portal—no double entry.
• The mobile app prompts technicians to photograph plenums and branch connections before insulation, documenting work for inspectors and homeowners.
• Any deviations from scope flag immediately, triggering a change-order workflow that keeps costs transparent.
CountBricks compares estimated versus actual labor hours as timecards sync each evening. If overtime trends upward, you’ll know before profit erodes, not after project closeout.
Homeowners receive automatic updates at key milestones—arrival window confirmed, cleaning complete, post-test results uploaded. Consistent communication reduces call-backs and builds trust, an often-overlooked factor in justifying premium ductz prices.
A CountBricks contractor faced a tight two-day window to replace deteriorating attic flex duct. By pre-ordering materials through our system and scheduling staggered crew shifts, they finished eight hours early, saving $960 in labor. The homeowner left a five-star review citing “effortless updates and zero surprises.”
CountBricks is more than an estimating tool—it’s a comprehensive platform built for residential construction professionals who refuse to leave profitability to chance. Explore the full feature set at CountBricks.com/services and see how every duct job can become your next showcase project.
