"We had Planchon Roofing install a composite roof 12 years ago and it is still in great shape. We've had them come out two other times for small repairs when we removed the chimney and most recently when we needed a new roof vent for a new bathroom fan. Each time they come out the workers are respectful, prompt, knowledgeable and efficient. Dana goes out of her way to accommodate our needs as a return customer and get us scheduled. Truly refreshing to deal with a no-nonsense service provider that does excellent work with no hassle."

Chimney Caps questions, answered by experts

Most residential range hoods have a CFM between 200 and 600. A higher CFM means your range hood is better at removing smoke and odors from your kitchen. The measurement ultimately depends on your stove’s width and heat output as well as the size of your kitchen. 

Compared to the average size of a stove and kitchen, 350 CFM would be the minimum recommended rating for the average kitchen. However, selecting a higher CFM range hood would guarantee better ventilation to match your cooking habits, whether they’re minimal or extensive.

Smooth galvanized metal ducting is best and safest for venting a hood range. It’s best to avoid flexible and corrugated types of ducting, as these options don’t provide ample airflow and may not meet local code. For specific advice on which type of duct might be best for your kitchen, reach out to a range hood installation professional.

Yes, they can assess the size, kitchen layout, and ventilation requirements to make recommendations.

By positioning ductwork for optimal airflow and reducing potential leaks.

No, range hoods do not necessarily have to be vented outside. Ductless or non-vented range hoods are available, which are common in condos or small kitchens where connecting to external ductwork isn't feasible. These hoods operate by taking in air, filtering it through charcoal filters to help eliminate smoke and odors, and then recirculating the cleaned air back into the kitchen. However, while these recirculating hoods are more versatile, venting to the outside is still the preferred and more effective method for completely removing smoke, odors, and gases from the room.
