Is $2,900 to replace kitchen hood vent ducting and roof termination a fair price?
Project Details
I recently discovered that my kitchen hood's flex pipe was only attached by tape and had come loose. An HVAC company recommended replacing it with a 6-inch steel pipe. I was surprised that they also want to change the part on top of the roof, stating that my current one restricts airflow and the new pipe wouldn't fit, proposing a T-top instead. I'm seeking opinions on whether changing the roof part is truly necessary. I liked the HVAC guy but wanted to verify the necessity of the work.
