Louvered Roof Vents

Here is a 4 part set of unscreened louvered roof vents I made for a contractor named David Lee in Birmingham, Alabama for his client Hakem Isa. They were made for a 7/12 pitch roof. 3 units are 5' wide and one is 8'wide. The contactor will attach plywood over these, so I attached a pair of 2x4s just behind the OG crown molding for 3" wide wood surface to nail into.

Cost: $3,725 including the wood crate and shipping.

Here is the screened louvered roof vent I made for the same contractor listed below for the pipe vent flashing. It also was made for a 12/12 pitch roof. I made most of this in top cover in a single seamless sheet of copper, as seen here.

I supported this hollow chamber with these 2x3 boards for added strength. It also provided a good attachment for the stainless steel screen inside. It is 36" wide without the 6" wide flashing flange, so in all it was 4' wide

Cost: $900 including the wood crate and shipping.

Siding Vent

This is a vent for mounting in siding for client Doug Szakacsy in Moorepark California.

He also had ordered a large chimney cap, vented turret roof cap w/weathervane support mount inside, along with some other custom flashing. This was about 15" wide./strong>

Roof Pipe Vent Flashings

I first made a turret roof cap for this client: Ducote Construction in Alexandria, Louisiana. Then he asked me to make this set of 4 roof flashing pipe jacks and the roof vent seen below. They were built to the clients specifications to go on a 12/12 pitch roof with a 5.25" inside collar to go over some natural gas exhaust pipes. The collar was made 18" tall on the high side and 23" tall on the lower side.

I later found out that the contractor was thinking that I was going to make covers for these like the turret roof cap I made him, to shed the rain. Although through out the quote process he had not mentioned that detail. Being a roofer I expected he knew just what he wanted and I did not imagine I needed to ask him if he wanted rain covers for these. I had sent him these photos through e-mail well before they shipped out and he had not said a word about the covers still. It was not until after he had received them that he wrote asking where the covered were. I offered to quickly make them for him, but it would cost more, since they were not in the original contract. He could not wait and needed to figure something else out. I never found out what he did with these.

Cost: $240 each including the wood crate and shipping.
