Understanding the cost of soffit vents installation is crucial for construction professionals aiming to deliver quality and cost-effective solutions. In 2025, the typical cost ranges from $7.50 to $11.00 per linear foot, with an average project cost of around $9.20 per foot. For a 2,000 sq ft home, this translates to approximately $2,000. Accurate cost estimation is essential to avoid over-budgeting and ensure project profitability.
