Is $600 to replace two leaking roof vents with a different style a fair price?
Project Details
One of my roof vents has an active leak, which caused water to pour through my kitchen vent hood onto the range top this weekend. The house was built by DR Horton in 2017, and the roofer mentioned these vents are known to leak. I'm getting both replaced, even though the purpose of one of the vents is unclear, as it also has ductwork connected. The roofer checked the attic and found no leaks or wetness on the decking around either vent. The $600 price didn't sound crazy to me in 2025 dollars, but I wanted to check if it's fair.
Quote Details
The quote is to replace two existing roof vents that are actively leaking. The current vents are a style known to leak, especially one over the kitchen vent hood which caused a waterfall. The roofer will install a different, more reliable style of vent. Both vents have ductwork connected (rigid for kitchen, soft for the other). - Scope: Replace two actively leaking roof vents - Reason for replacement: Current style is "known to leak" - New vents: "different" style to prevent future leaks - Specifics: One vent is for the kitchen hood (rigid duct), the other's purpose is unknown but has soft ductwork connected - Condition: No leaks or wetness found in the attic decking around either vent
