Custom Vent Hoods
The centerpiece your kitchen is missing.
Custom wood range hood covers — painted, stained, or trimmed to match your cabinetry — built around your vent insert and finished in place.
Walk into any kitchen that stops people mid-sentence and there's almost always a custom hood over the range. It's the one element that breaks up the run of upper cabinets and gives the kitchen a focal point — and it's also the piece most production builders skip, leaving a bare microwave or a stock stainless canopy where the centerpiece should be.
We build custom wood vent hood covers around your ventilation insert: clean tapered boxes, curved and flared profiles, shiplap and paneled fronts, and hoods wrapped in stained oak or painted to match or contrast your cabinetry. The hood is sized to your range and ceiling height, vented correctly through the insert you choose, and finished in place so it looks like the kitchen was designed around it — because now it is.
What we build
Painted hood surrounds
Tapered, straight, and flared hood boxes painted to match or deliberately contrast your cabinetry.
Stained wood hoods
White oak and stained hood covers that bring warmth into a painted kitchen — with matching shelf or corbel details.
Insert coordination
Built around the vent insert and ducting you choose, with proper clearances to the range below.
Trim & strapping details
Shiplap fronts, banding, corbels, and crown details that tie the hood into the rest of the kitchen's trim.
Planning your project
What drives the price
Shape and finish drive a custom hood's price: a straight tapered box costs less than curved or flared profiles, and stained hardwood wraps cost more than paint. The vent insert — the mechanical unit inside — is a separate purchase we help you size to your range. One all-in price covers the build and finish.
Timeline
Most custom hood covers are built and finished in one to two days once the insert and ducting are in place. If electrical or duct work is needed first, we sequence those trades before our build so the hood goes on finished infrastructure.
Materials & finish
Hood boxes are framed light and skinned in paint-grade stock or wrapped in stained hardwood like white oak, with trim details — banding, corbels, shiplap — matched to the kitchen. Clearances to the cooktop follow the insert manufacturer's requirements.
Care & maintenance
Wipe the hood exterior with a damp cloth as part of normal kitchen cleaning — sprayed enamel and finished wood both handle kitchen air fine when the insert's filters are doing their job. Clean or replace the insert's grease filters on the manufacturer's schedule; that's what keeps the wood pristine.
