The scope readings, priced apart by frame
| Install scope | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Single unit row | $240-$340 flat rate line | $200-$400 component line |
| Multiple units, one visit row | $150-$200 per unit promotional line | in the $150-$2,500 by-type band, per unit |
| Unit with old-unit removal row | $200-$500 professional band | $200-$800 installed add-on line |
Each reading is one frame counting of one scope in one ceiling job, never blended across scopes. The scope rows stand inside the printed bands and rate lines beside them, read as scope readings of those lines rather than as added totals.
The visit and labor rows, priced apart
| Scope row | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Labor row, per man-hour | Frame A | $60-$85 |
| Franchised row, per hour | Frame A | to $125 |
| Promotional row, per unit on one visit | Frame A | $150-$200 |
| Angi installer row, per hour | Frame B | $50-$75 |
| Angi overhead installation row | Frame B | up to $150 |
The visit scope here is a single ceiling job visit, priced as a ceiling job alone -- never the whole-system ticket on its own page.
The single-unit and removal rows, priced apart
| Scope row, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Flat rate, single standard 4x8 rack | Frame A | $240-$340 |
| General professional band, removal scope | Frame A | $200-$500 |
| Overhead racks, by type | Frame B | $150-$2,500 |
| Overhead racks installed, add-on line | Frame B | $200-$800 |
| Installed systems, on average | Frame B | $615-$2,635 |
The single-unit and removal scopes stand inside the printed bands rather than on added totals of their own, apart from the multi-unit row beside them. The frames count the same job on different bases -- per-hour and flat-rate labor at $60-$85 per man-hour and a $240-$340 flat rate in Frame A, against installed totals that fold the hardware in at $150-$2,500 by type in Frame B. That difference is named as a frame difference on every page, never averaged.
The neighbours named apart
System type readings price apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: the garage storage system ticket and its system page lines (that page prices the whole-system ticket; its overhead rows are its lines inside it, never this cluster frame), the custom garage cabinet ticket, the garage cleanout ticket, and the garage door clusters (opener, insulation, replacement, and repair -- doors, not ceiling storage), each in its own lane.
