Well, hello there, kitchen maestro! Marc here, and I've got a confession to make.

Our website is impressive—750+ customization combinations, 50+ finishes, straps and rivets galore. But here's the thing: what you see on CopperHoods.com? That's just the appetizer.

The main course is what happens when you pick up the phone and say, "Marc, I have this idea..."

That's when the real magic starts simmering.

Every few weeks, I get a call or email that goes something like this: "I've been looking everywhere for a hood that matches my vision. I've browsed your site, and while I love what I see, I don't see exactly what I'm picturing."

To which I say: "Tell me more."

Because here's what a lot of folks don't realize—our 3D Hood Builder and product pages are starting points, not finish lines. We're not a warehouse shipping boxes. We're craftspeople with tools, talent, and a genuine love for solving design puzzles.

You bring the vision. We bring the copper, brass, stainless steel, and a decade-plus of know-how. Together? We cook up something that doesn't exist anywhere else on earth.

Kim knew exactly what she wanted when she started designing her kitchen: the hood would be the star of the show. Not a supporting player. Not an afterthought. The anchor that tied everything together.

The problem? Finding that perfect custom color proved harder than she imagined.

"I was impressed by CopperHoods' options," Kim told us, "but I didn't see exactly what I envisioned. When I reached about a custom hood and was met with an 'absolutely!'—I was thrilled."

That "absolutely" is my favorite word, by the way.

From there, we got to work on every detail—the custom color, the shape, the placement of the straps, the size, the delivery timeline. When the hood arrived and Kim's contractor (who handles a lot of high-end projects, mind you) opened the crate, his verdict was immediate: very impressed with the quality.

Kim's now launched her own design business, Reverie and Root, and we couldn't be prouder to have played a small part in her kitchen story. When your hood inspires you to start a whole new career chapter? That's the kind of culinary centerpiece we're talking about.

When Crystal initiated her kitchen remodel in Spring 2025, she wasn't thinking small. The project doubled her kitchen's footprint, designed around one core principle: exceptional functionality for a large family that loves to entertain.

She also wanted a hood that made a statement. Not just any statement—the statement.

"Unfortunately, everything I found locally was exceptionally overpriced and required a long lead-time," Crystal shared. That's when she discovered CopperHoods online.

Here's where it gets fun. Crystal didn't see her exact vision on our website either. So she called, we talked through the design elements she was seeking, and she sent over inspirational photos.

From there, I designed what she was envisioning. We dialed in the colors with physical samples, then had a technical call to nail down specific dimensions and specifications. The kind of conversation you simply can't have with a company that's just moving boxes from a warehouse.

"I was a bit nervous to order such an expensive item online," Crystal admitted. Fair enough—we're talking about a significant investment sight unseen. But throughout production, I sent updates, including photos before the hood was crated and shipped.

The result? "The hood that was delivered several weeks later is gorgeous—it's a statement piece!"

That's the goal, every single time.

Sometimes the best kitchen confidants are the pros who trust us to bring their wildest visions to life.

Designer Tara Zampella from Zampella Homes came to us with a dream: a curvy masterpiece dressed in creamy oyster white with brass and gold straps that follow every elegant curve. Not exactly a standard catalog item.

The result was so stunning that we captured the unboxing on video—and Tara's reaction says everything words can't. From meticulous measurements to that final "wow" moment, this hood proves what happens when you blend a designer's dream with our Midwestern craftsmanship.

Just look at how perfectly it pairs with that gorgeous ILVE range—it's like they were meant to be kitchen soulmates.

Send me your inspirational photos. Describe the hood that's been living rent-free in your imagination. Then let me say my favorite word: "Absolutely."

Look, I get it. Ordering a custom range hood online—especially one that doesn't exist yet—takes a leap of faith. So let me tell you why that leap lands safely with us:

• You work directly with me. Not a call center. Not a chatbot. Me—Marc, Master Designer, the guy who's been elbow-deep in copper since 2019. When you call CopperHoods, you're talking to someone who genuinely loves solving design puzzles.

• We send updates throughout production. You'll see your hood taking shape, including photos before it ships. No radio silence. No crossed fingers. Just clear communication from first sketch to final crate.

• Our pricing is transparent. Custom copper range hoods start at $3,900, with price determined by size—not by how many hoops you want us to jump through. No upcharges for finishes, textures, straps, or rivets.

• We deliver in 7-9 weeks. Consistently. Not "9-12 weeks depending on holidays and shipping container schedules." We control our process, so we control your timeline.

• Free shipping to the continental United States. No hidden fees, no regional limitations. The one exception is a hood over 6 feet. 

• BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. You don't earn that by cutting corners—you earn it through thousands of transactions handled with integrity.

Ready to Dream Out Loud?

Here's my challenge to you: if you've been scrolling through range hood websites feeling like nothing is quite right, stop settling. Stop compromising. Stop trying to make a catalog item fit your vision.

Instead, give me a call. Send me your inspirational photos. Describe the hood that's been living rent-free in your imagination.

Then let me say my favorite word: "Absolutely."

At CopperHoods, we don't just sell hoods. We craft culinary centerpieces that tell your story—even if that story hasn't been written yet.
