1. Linear feet of track

By far the biggest driver. Cost scales roughly linearly with feet — about $30-$60 per installed foot depending on tier and access.

2. Number of stories

Two-story homes are 30-40% more than equivalent single-story for the same linear feet. It's all ladder time and crew safety.

3. Roofline complexity

Simple Mediterranean rectangle: easy. Multiple gables, dormers, varied eave heights: each adds time. Estate-style multi-roofline can run 25% over a same-size simple roofline.

4-7. Smaller drivers

Track color (custom bronze/brown adds ~$200-$400). Smart-home integration (Control4/Elan adds ~$300-$600). Stucco-only no-soffit construction (adds ~10%). Travel time outside Fresno County (small surcharge).
