"Did a thorough inspection of my chimney and recommended the proper cleaning and maintenance items. Friendly team, highly competent and knowledgeable."
It went very well. I am a returning customer. I had my roof done in Feb. of 2015 and was very satisfied. When I had a car hit my house, I knew immediately who I wanted to fix it. As in the past, the crew was very professional and hardworking. Brian and Sarah are the best. They followed up on the work-site to make sure everything is progressing as expected. Brian was very good about explaining all the details of the project before beginning to ensure I understood what they were able to fix with the funds available. Sarah immediately returned my text when I told her what happened and her and Brian came over within an hour and they were on their way to their son's game. Can't say enough positive things about Atlantic Coastal. I still have work that I need to get done on my house, and when I get the funds to do it:), I know who I will be calling. Thanks again Atlantic Coastal!
"They sub contracted out some of the work. The guy overseeing the work was really good. If I had a complaint, he would take care of it. The people he hired had to be watched over. It seemed to be times when they said they were done, and I had to go behind them and point out things they did not finish. The job was okay, but I felt like I had to baby sit them. The sheet rock guy had to come back times because the job was not done correctly."
A higher CFM will make the price of your range hood more expensive. It can be challenging to speculate how much the CFM rating affects price, but ductless range hoods—that don’t need as high of a CFM as ducted range hoods—are less expensive than their alternative. On average, ductless hoods cost between $100 and $300, while ducted hoods can cost as much as $1,000.
If a range hood has minor issues, the average repair costs $85 to $210. This accounts for both parts and labor. More extensive damage can cost as much as $300 to $500, at which point it may be worth considering completely replacing the range hood.
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.
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.
You should contact a local range hood installation professional to install your range hood and do the ductwork. Prices range from $50 to $100 per hour, with the total number of hours required varying based on the project complexity. Simple installations might take an hour or two, while more complicated ones can take four hours or more.
