Single-story ranch construction gives you short duct runs, which is genuinely better - but it also gives you a lot of vents terminating through the roof or a soffit rather than through a wall at eye level. Out of sight is the operative problem. A wall hood gets noticed when it stops closing; a roof cap does not get noticed at all.

Roof and soffit terminations are also where wildlife gets involved. A vent hood with a failed flap is an attractive, warm, sheltered cavity, and starlings in particular will fill one with nesting material in a single season.

JobTypical price
Wall termination, standard ranch run$120 - $160
Roof or soffit termination$170 - $220
Nesting removal and hood replacement+$60 - $110
Second building, same trip$90 - $130

Nesting, and why we pull it out rather than push it through

The quick way to deal with a blocked termination is to run a brush up from the inside and force the obstruction out through the hood. We do not do that, for two reasons. Nesting material compacted by a brush frequently jams tighter instead of clearing, and if it does clear it takes the damper flap with it - so you have traded a blockage for an opening that will be re-occupied by spring.

Instead we get to the termination, remove the hood, take the material out from the outside, and refit or replace the hood with a working flap. On a roof termination that is more work than the inside-out method, and it is priced accordingly, but it is the only version that stays fixed. Rural properties with outbuildings sometimes have two or three of these; doing them on one visit keeps the cost sensible.
