Tax and markup: not included. Determine and apply the appropriate values for your own job. A zero tax entry in this example does not mean the work is tax-exempt.
How to read the quantities
Eighteen penetrations × $38 = $684. The 120 linear feet of top-plate joints × $4.50 = $540, giving $1,224 for those two sealing labor lines.
What the example includes—and leaves out
Existing insulation may need careful movement and replacement around work locations. The example allows that effort without assuming wholesale insulation removal.
Outside this scope: No blower-door testing, new insulation, concealed cavity repair, ventilation change or hazardous-material handling.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.

Common questions
Can attic air sealing be priced by floor area?
Area gives context, but identified openings, joint lengths and access define this example scope.
Is insulation part of air sealing?
Only if separately listed. This sample moves existing material temporarily but does not add new insulation.
