Tomball kitchens cook. Big families, gas ranges, and a lot of frying and searing — and most of that happens under a 30-inch builder hood with a 40-watt bulb that moves less air than a box fan. In the newer neighborhoods the hood came with the house and has never been touched; in Old Town and the older streets off 2920, it’s a 1980s unit venting into a duct that may or may not still connect to anything.
UES Solutions replaces and installs under-cabinet and chimney range hoods throughout Tomball and northwest Harris County. We’re the crew that does the whole job in one visit — the hood, the duct, a new roof or wall cap if the kitchen has never vented outside, the electrical, and the cabinet or drywall fix so it looks built-in. Most swaps are 2–4 hours. Veteran-owned, licensed and insured, rated 4.9 stars by more than 76 Google reviewers.

Ductless vs. ducted — which should you choose?
Most Tomball 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.
We have a gas range. Does that change which hood we need?
Yes. Gas produces more heat and combustion byproducts, so a ducted hood is strongly recommended, and you’ll want more CFM than an electric cooktop needs. Very high-CFM hoods (roughly 400+) can require makeup air under code; we’ll size it right and tell you if that applies.
Can you replace the hood and the microwave in the same visit?
Yes. If you’re moving from an over-the-range microwave to a real hood, we’ll install the hood and, if you’d like, mount a new microwave in a cabinet, on a shelf, or as a drawer unit in the same visit.
