A new hood, a free-flowing flap.
The vent hood is the last stop for lint and the first thing to crack, rust or jam. A new hood gives air a clean way out and keeps pests and weather outside.
- Replaces: Hood, flap and seal
- Sizing: Matched to the duct
What it is, and why it matters.
The hood on your outside wall has a flap that opens when the dryer runs and closes when it stops. Over time the flap sticks, the hood cracks or rusts, or lint packs behind it.
We remove the old hood, check the duct behind it, install a new hood sized to the duct with a flap that moves freely and seal around it so weather stays out. We avoid fine screens that clog with lint.
Four things done right.
Right size, right type
The hood matches the duct so air is not choked.
A flap that works
It opens fully when the dryer runs and closes when it stops.
Sealed against weather
Caulk and flashing keep rain and drafts out.
Pest-aware
We choose designs that discourage nests without clogging.

Dryer Vent Hood Replacement: common questions
Should a dryer vent hood have a screen?
Fine mesh screens clog with lint quickly. A hood with a flap and, where pests are a concern, a guard with wide openings is usually a better choice.
How long do vent hoods last?
It depends on the material and the weather. A cracked, rusted or sticking hood is ready to be replaced.
