Homeowners in Silicon Valley run their dryers more often than the national average. Tight lot sizes, evolving energy codes, and high-efficiency appliances mean a poorly planned vent run can waste power, create fire hazards, and even void warranties. CountBricks has become the local authority on san jose dryers by pairing veteran field crews with AI-driven estimating tools that eliminate guesswork before a single hole is cut.
1. Speak your project: During a quick phone or on-site chat, our AI captures every detail—appliance model, exterior wall type, attic access, code requirements.
2. Real-time pricing: CountBricks instantly pulls up current labor and material rates for Santa Clara County, so you see an accurate number on the spot.
3. Instant documentation: A branded PDF estimate, complete with scope, timeline, and warranty language, appears in your inbox before we leave the driveway.
4. One-click approval: Sign digitally, schedule crews, and track progress through your CountBricks.com dashboard.
• Long vent runs in multi-story homes • CountBricks designs booster-fan solutions that meet ANSI Z21.5.1 codes
• Mixed materials (stucco, engineered lumber, metal framing) • Our blueprint takeoff engine recommends correct fastener packs and flashing kits for every substrate
• Strict air-quality regulations • We spec low-leak, rigid metal ducts verified with in-app friction-loss calculators
1. Site verification: Field techs confirm AI measurements with laser devices.
2. Core drilling & sealing: We drill clean, code-sized openings and seal with intumescent caulk rated for WUI zones.
3. Rigid duct assembly: Smooth-wall pipe is cut, deburred, and sealed with UL-listed foil tape—no screws that snag lint.
4. Exterior termination: Low-profile hoods with pest screens are secured to prevent water intrusion.
5. Airflow testing: Our digital manometer confirms less than 0.6" w.g. back-pressure, protecting the appliance motor.
6. Client handoff: You receive a post-install report plus maintenance reminders via your CountBricks portal.
Labor • Licensed journeyman installer • Apprentice helper
Materials • Rigid 26-gauge steel duct (per foot) • Through-wall hood with damper • Fire-block caulk • Saddle tees for gas line avoidance
Permits & Inspections • City of San Jose mechanical permit • Same-day virtual inspection scheduling through CountBricks
Because CountBricks links directly to regional supplier inventories, you never pay a “just in case” markup. Every screw and clamp is accounted for, and the full list is visible at CountBricks.com/services.
Studies show that a properly vented dryer can reduce cycle times by up to 28%. In a market where kilowatt hours cost over 30 cents, that translates to real savings—plus less wear on clothing and appliances. Real-estate agents routinely highlight CountBricks dryer vent upgrades in MLS listings to signal safety and energy consciousness to buyers.
• Clean the lint trap before every load to maintain airflow
• Schedule a professional duct sweep every 18 months—CountBricks clients get reminders
• Keep bends under 45° whenever possible; two 45s equal one 90° in friction loss
• Avoid vinyl flex duct; it is not code-approved for concealed spaces
• Install a moisture alarm behind the appliance to catch hidden leaks early
• AI blueprint takeoffs slash pre-construction time from hours to minutes
• Live cost feeds reflect real San Jose supplier pricing—no outdated spreadsheets
• Voice-to-estimate technology captures field conditions others miss
• Our installers are background-checked, OSHA-certified, and local to the Bay Area
• Workmanship backed by a five-year no-clog guarantee

A family of five added high-capacity front-load appliances but quickly noticed 90-minute dry times and excessive heat in the hallway. CountBricks was engaged to diagnose and solve the problem.
• Home style: 1990s two-story with stucco exterior
• Challenge: 28-foot existing flex duct with four sharp bends
• Goal: Reduce dry time below 45 minutes and meet current code
1. AI Takeoff: Uploaded the original blueprints to CountBricks.com and generated a friction-loss simulation in under three minutes.
2. Design Revision: Recommended relocating the termination point to an exterior side wall, cutting run length to 14 feet with two 45° elbows.
3. Permit & Schedule: Pulled a mechanical permit and slotted a two-person crew within 48 hours.
4. Installation: Completed coring, rigid duct install, and airflow test—0.45" w.g. back-pressure—inside one workday.
5. Outcome: Cycle times dropped to 41 minutes, and interior humidity decreased by 12%. The homeowners now save an estimated $160 per year in energy costs.
• Early blueprint analysis prevents costly drywall removal later
• AI-generated material lists curb over-ordering by up to 18%
• Post-install airflow verification should be standard, not optional
