You spent serious money on that kitchen. New cabinets. Quartz countertops. Quality appliances.
And ABT or your builder threw a recirculating microwave hood into the package because it was fast, easy, and required zero ductwork.
Your kitchen deserves better. And I can fix it.
My name is Darius.
I'm a one-man shop with 20+ years of hands-on experience and I'm the only person who will touch your home. No crews, no subcontractors, no sending someone else to figure it out. You call me, I show up, I do the work, I leave it cleaner than I found it.
I specialize in upgrading over-range microwaves to properly vented range hoods — running real ductwork through your cabinets, core drilling through your exterior brick, and installing a hood that actually does its job.
The photos above are from a recent Lincoln Park job. That's my work. That's what your kitchen can look like.
Here's exactly how it works:
Step 1 — Weekday Site Evaluation After 4pm
I come to your home on a weekday evening, walk your kitchen, assess the ductwork route, and understand exactly what your project needs. No guessing, no surprises.
Step 2 — Same Day Written Quote
Before I leave I give you a complete written quote covering everything — ductwork, exterior brick penetration, cabinet modifications if needed, and hood installation. You know exactly what it costs before you commit to anything.
Step 3 — Weekend Install
Once you're ready I schedule your install for the next available weekend. Jobs are taken in the order they're received.
What's included:
✅ Full ductwork fabrication and installation
✅ Exterior brick wall penetration — core drilled clean
✅ Weatherproof hooded vent cap with damper
✅ Custom cabinet modifications if needed to conceal ductwork
✅ Hood installation — supply your own or I can procure
✅ Clean professional finish — you won't know we were there
No electrical work needed — your existing microwave circuit handles the new hood.
Investment: Starting at $799.00
Final price based on site assessment.
Most jobs range $799.00— $1,900.00 depending on scope.
