South Florida’s climate is spectacular for beach days but brutal on interior air quality. High humidity, salt-laden breezes, and year-round heat can overwhelm standard ventilation. A properly designed miami exhaust system keeps kitchens grease-free, bathrooms mold-free, and whole homes fresher. CountBricks pairs AI precision with on-site know-how to ensure every fan, duct run, and louver meets local code and your lifestyle.
Local codes: Miami-Dade County enforces strict wind-borne debris and hurricane straps even on exhaust terminations. CountBricks estimators auto-pull the latest code tables so nothing is missed.
Energy considerations: Exhaust fans must balance cubic-feet-per-minute (CFM) with the home’s tightness score. Oversizing wastes AC dollars; undersizing invites mildew.
Salt-air corrosion: Stainless fasteners and PVC-coated ducts are recommended within three miles of the coast. Our AI material library selects corrosion-resistant SKUs automatically.
1. Voice-First Scope Call: Speak your needs—“replace a 400 CFM kitchen hood and run 18 feet of rigid duct to the roof.” AI converts speech to a full line-item estimate in seconds.
2. Smart Blueprint Takeoff: Upload PDFs or photos. CountBricks identifies walls, joists, and existing vents, then calculates the optimal path for exhaust with zero clashes.
3. Real-Time Pricing Engine: Our database tracks Miami distributor pricing on fans, dampers, and hurricane caps. You lock in today’s cost before labor begins.
4. Instant Quote Package: The platform generates a branded proposal, complete with 3D duct routing visuals your clients can understand.
5. One-Click Invoice & Change Orders: Field technicians update progress by voice; invoices update automatically, eliminating end-of-month paperwork marathons.
• Kitchen range hood upgrades: 300–1200 CFM options with makeup air integration.
• Bathroom fans: Ultra-quiet 80 CFM units for condos; 150 CFM humidity-sensing fans for single-family homes.
• Whole-house fans: Ideal for spring and fall energy savings, sized at 2–3 CFM per square foot.
• Garage & laundry exhaust: Targeted solutions to expel carbon monoxide and dryer moisture.
• Minimize elbows to preserve CFM—two 45° bends outperform one 90° every time.
• Seal joints with high-temp mastic, not duct tape, to withstand Miami humidity.
• Use backdraft dampers rated for 160 mph wind gusts to keep hurricane debris out.
• Terminate above the roof peak when possible; wall terminations must clear eave overhangs by 12 inches.
A 1950s bungalow had a recirculating hood that left greasy film on cabinets. The homeowner contacted CountBricks via the voice app. Within 15 minutes, our AI produced a scope: 600 CFM hood, 6-inch rigid duct, roof cap with hurricane bracing. The system auto-flagged a joist conflict and rerouted the duct two bays over. Materials arrived in 48 hours, and the install wrapped in one day. Post-installation airflow tested at 588 CFM—2% variance from the model.
Typical price range: $1,200–$3,800 depending on CFM, duct length, and roof type.
Cost drivers:
• Premium stainless hoods add 25-40%.
• Tile roofs require core drilling and waterproofing sleeves.
• Second-story retrofits need lift equipment or scaffolding.
CountBricks.com/services provides instant cost breakdowns so there are no surprises.
• Submit digital permit packets through CountBricks—city reviewers receive code citations embedded.
• Schedule inspections early; Miami-Dade slots fill two weeks out.
• Photograph hurricane straps before drywall—inspectors love visual proof.
• Keep manufacturer cut-sheets on site for airflow verification.
• Use smart fans with EC motors to meet Florida energy credits.
Whether you’re remodeling a historic Coral Gables kitchen or adding a rooftop terrace grill station in Brickell, CountBricks turns miami exhaust challenges into streamlined, code-compliant solutions.

Salt spray and tropical downpours mean a miami exhaust system must endure more punishment than its northern counterparts. CountBricks’ materials library is calibrated for coastal abuse, drawing from thousands of completed projects across Miami-Dade and Broward.

• PVC-coated galvanized duct balances affordability with a 20-year lifespan.
• EPDM roof boots stay flexible under relentless UV exposure.
• Low-profile hurricane caps rated to TAS 100—crucial for insurance compliance.
1. Pre-cut duct sections in shop to reduce rooftop time under the sun.
2. Apply butyl flashing tape around penetrations before setting the boot.
3. Anchor the cap with stainless screws every 4 inches, then cover heads with polyurethane sealant.
4. Perform a smoke test inside to confirm zero leaks before closing ceilings.
• Our smart controllers log CFM, humidity, and run-time data to a homeowner dashboard.
• Alerts trigger when airflow drops 10%, flagging clogged filters or bird nest obstructions.
• CountBricks maintenance plans include annual duct cleaning discounted 15% for install clients.
Homes retrofitted by CountBricks report up to 35% drop in indoor relative humidity and significant odor reduction within 24 hours. Add the peace of mind of a five-year workmanship warranty, and your miami exhaust investment pays for itself season after season.
