Out here the runs are usually short - which is good - but they frequently terminate through a roof or a soffit rather than a wall at eye level, because that was the shortest way out of a cabin. Out of sight is the operative problem: a wall hood gets noticed when it stops closing, a roof cap never does.

Log and heavy timber walls add their own wrinkle. The duct passes through a thick assembly with limited access, and where a previous owner used flexible foil through that wall rather than rigid metal, it is usually crushed somewhere in the middle.

Standard cabin run, wall termination$130 - $180
Roof or soffit termination$180 - $250

Nesting, and why we pull it rather than push it

A vent hood with a failed flap is a warm sheltered cavity, and starlings will fill one with nesting material in a single season. The quick approach is to run a brush up from inside and force the obstruction out through the hood. We do not do that.

Two reasons. Compacted nesting material frequently jams tighter rather than clearing, and if it does clear it usually takes the damper flap with it - so you have traded a blockage for an opening that will be re-occupied by spring. Instead we get to the termination, remove the hood, take the material out from outside, and refit or replace with a working flap and a proper guard.

On a roof termination that is more work than the inside-out method and it is priced accordingly. It is also the only version that stays fixed. Properties with several outbuildings sometimes have two or three of these, and doing them in one visit keeps the total sensible.
