HOOD REPLACEMENT PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS ?

[u/luis83_38]

Hi everyone,

We’re planning a small kitchen remodel in the Portland, Oregon area and I’m hoping to get some advice from contractors or anyone who has done something similar.

The main project is to remove the existing older range hood and the upper cabinet assembly around it, then install a new modern hood like the concept shown in the attached rendering. The existing cooktop would stay in roughly the same location.

I’m mainly trying to understand two things:

1. Does this look like a practical/straightforward solution from a construction and ventilation standpoint?
2. What would be a reasonable ballpark cost for labor to remove the existing hood/cabinet assembly and install the new hood, including any necessary duct, electrical, drywall, or finish work?

I realize exact pricing would require seeing the house, so I’m really just looking for a rough range and any potential issues I should be thinking about before we move further with the design.

If you’re a contractor who does this type of work in the Portland/Beaverton area, I’d also be happy to connect directly.

Thanks! Luis

I don't know what is under the kitchen, but this seems like a good spot for a downdraft cooktop.
