Hood ducting and roof caps

Hood ducting follows the shortest practical rigid route to a properly flashed exterior wall or roof cap with a damper.

Appliances and venting on one of our Chicago jobs

What decides it

Each elbow and reduction adds resistance, while a poor cap can restrict the outlet at the very end. We choose the route before closing framing around a duct that cannot serve the selected hood.

Why this is worth doing properly

Appliance specifications control cabinet openings, ventilation, gas placement and electrical circuits. We coordinate those requirements before the cabinet order, with gas and electrical connections performed by separately licensed contractors on our schedule.

What you get from us

  • 01

    Solve the layout before ordering

    Aisles, appliance doors, the distance from sink to range and clearance behind the stools are drawn to scale first. Correcting the layout after cabinets arrive is no longer a design change.

  • 02

    Specify appliances before cabinets

    Every appliance comes with exact opening, ventilation and clearance requirements. Reading them before the cabinet order prevents permanent gaps, blocked doors and improvised fillers.

  • 03

    One crew throughout

    The same crew carries the job from demolition through final trim. Separately licensed plumbing, electrical and gas contractors work within the same coordinated schedule.

  • 04

    Nothing hidden without approval

    If demolition reveals structural load, a blocked drain route or old wiring, you receive photographs and a written price before the condition is covered.
