PGHDIY GUIDE: Classic Wood Range Hood (36")

This project started the way many of ours do — in the middle of a renovation, with big ideas… and a very real budget. We loved the look of custom wood range hoods — the kind you see all over Pinterest — but the price tags didn’t make sense for us. So we built our own. Using a simple, reliable vent insert and focusing on clean, intentional craftsmanship, we created a 36" wood range hood that became a standout feature in our kitchen — at a fraction of the cost. This guide walks you through that exact build. Designed in a modular way for a straightforward install, it allows you to create a custom, high-end look without unnecessary complexity. The result is a range hood that feels warm, balanced, and built-in — proving you don’t need to spend thousands to achieve a beautiful, finished kitchen. Create a custom wood range hood that brings warmth and structure to your kitchen — without the custom price tag. (*Link to purchase the exact hood motor we used is included in this 26 page pdf printable ebook guide)
