Range Hood Replacement & Installation in Willis, TX
Range hood installation for Willis and Lake Conroe, TX — a quieter, brighter hood that vents outside, installed in 2–4 hours from $295.
UES Solutions replaces and installs range hoods in Willis and north Lake Conroe, TX from $295. Under-cabinet swaps take 2–4 hours, wall-mount chimney hoods about half a day, and new duct runs to a roof or wall cap one day from about $895. A licensed, veteran-owned local crew handles the duct, electrical, and finish work, backed by a 1-Year Workmanship Warranty.
In Willis and along the north shore of Lake Conroe, a lot of kitchens belong to people who’ve recently made the lake house the full-time house — and a hood sized for weekend use isn’t keeping up with daily cooking. In Seven Coves and Corinthian Point the original 1980s hoods are often ductless or venting into a soffit; in the newer neighborhoods off I-45 and FM 1097, it’s the builder’s recirculating unit.
UES Solutions replaces and installs under-cabinet and chimney range hoods throughout Willis and the lake area. We connect or run the duct, add a roof or wall cap, bring power where it’s needed, and patch and paint where the old hood was — one crew, one visit. Most swaps are done in 2–4 hours. For homeowners who want a quieter kitchen, we’ll steer you to hoods with a lower sone rating; for a brighter one, LED lighting is standard on everything we recommend. Veteran-owned, licensed and insured, 4.9 stars on Google.

Ductless vs. ducted — which should you choose?
Most Willis homeowners deciding on a range hood installation choose between ductless and ducted — here’s how they compare.
| Ductless (recirculating) | Ducted (vented outside) | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Pulls air through a charcoal filter and returns it to the kitchen | Pushes smoke, grease, steam, and heat outside through a duct |
| Removes | Some odor and grease | Odor, grease, smoke, steam, heat, and humidity |
| Install cost | $295–$395 (replacement) | $395–$750 (existing duct) · from ~$895 (new duct) |
| Best for | Condos, kitchens with no exterior wall or attic access, light cooking | Anyone who sears, fries, or cooks daily — and any gas range |
| Maintenance | Replace charcoal filter every 3–6 months | Clean or replace mesh/baffle filter monthly |
| Houston note | Adds heat and humidity back into the kitchen | Removes heat and humidity — the better choice in our climate |
UES Solutions 1-Year Workmanship Warranty
We stand behind our installation work. Range hood installations include a one-year workmanship warranty covering mounting, ductwork, and connections we perform, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty on the hood itself.
While we’re in the kitchen…
A hood swap is a two-hour job, and the crew is already there. Common add-ons in the same visit: replacing the faucet or garbage disposal, installing a new microwave or dishwasher, adding under-cabinet lighting, patching and painting the backsplash wall, or fixing cabinet doors and drawers. One visit, one invoice.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to install a range hood?
Installation starts at $295. A ductless under-cabinet replacement runs $295–$395, a ducted replacement on an existing duct $395–$550, and a wall-mount chimney hood on an existing duct $495–$750. If your kitchen has no duct, a new run through the attic to a roof or wall cap starts around $895, or $1,295 if we also add electrical. Prices are for the install; the hood is supplied by you or added to the quote.
How long does range hood installation take?
Most replacements take 2–4 hours and are done the same day. A wall-mount chimney hood takes about half a day. A new duct run through the attic and roof takes one day.
Should I choose a ductless or a ducted range hood?
Ducted, if your kitchen can support it. A ducted hood sends smoke, grease, steam, and heat outside; a ductless hood filters some odor and grease through charcoal and returns the air — and the heat — to the kitchen. In the Houston climate that heat and humidity matter, and venting cooking byproducts outside is better for indoor air quality. Ductless makes sense when there’s no exterior wall or attic access, or for light cooking.
Can you add a duct where there isn’t one?
Yes. We run rigid duct from the hood through the attic to a roof cap, or straight through an exterior wall to a wall cap, with a backdraft damper and proper flashing. Most Montgomery County homes have attic access above the kitchen, which makes this a one-day job starting around $895.
Can you replace an over-the-range microwave with a range hood?
Yes. We remove the microwave, cap or reuse its power, and install an under-cabinet or chimney hood in its place — often with a cabinet modification or a filler panel to close the gap. It’s quoted case by case; send a photo.
What size range hood do I need?
Match the hood width to your cooktop — 30″ for a 30″ range, 36″ for a 36″. For power, a general rule is 100 CFM per linear foot of range for electric cooktops and more for gas or heavy frying. Hoods above roughly 400 CFM may require makeup air under code; we’ll tell you if yours does.
Do I need a permit to install a range hood?
A like-for-like replacement doesn’t require a permit in Montgomery County. Cutting a new roof or wall penetration, or adding a new electrical circuit, can — we’ll tell you up front and handle it if so.
Will you patch the wall or cabinet where the old hood was?
Yes. If the new hood has a smaller footprint or the old duct hole is in a different spot, we patch and finish the drywall or cabinet so it looks like the hood was always there. Repainting the wall can be added to the same visit.
Is the installation under warranty?
Yes. Every installation is covered by the UES Solutions 1-Year Workmanship Warranty on the mounting, duct, and connections we perform, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty on the hood.
How do I get a quieter range hood?
Look at the sone rating, not just CFM — anything under about 3 sones on low is quiet enough to talk over. Ducted hoods with a short, straight rigid duct run are also noticeably quieter than ductless units or hoods on crushed flex duct. We’ll recommend a model and fix the duct so it runs as quietly as it can.
Can you install a range hood in a manufactured or older lake home?
Yes. We check the cabinet, wall framing, and roof or wall path at the quote. If the wall needs backing for a chimney bracket or the cabinet needs reinforcing, it’s itemized in the written quote before we start.
