How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for damaged duct removal is 32 linear ft. × $12.00 = $384.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $2,971.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Measure damaged run, duct size, joint count and access height. Selection to verify: Separate replacement duct, sealant and insulation allowances.
Assumptions and exclusions
Inspect adjacent joints before cutting and verify airflow after repair.
Outside the stated scope: No air-handler replacement, full duct cleaning or concealed ceiling restoration.
Further inaccessible damage requires investigation beyond this local repair. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
