By contrast, a small house would require less maintenance, and the replacement of one badly rotted board on a small house may only cost $10-15.\r\rThe final cost of replacing eaves is between $2,000 and $5,000. You are also going to need some new materials each time you perform this type of task. This includes everything from nails and shingles to sheathing and flashing. \r\rInstalling new soffit boards usually costs more than installing an eave by itself because it requires additional construction work. The average cost of installing soffits ranges from $500 to $1,000 per house. \r\rMore complex jobs could be required with higher prices if roof replacement of many structures is needed, like in cases of severe shingle mould and it could require professional repair of rotted rafters, old soffits, and fascia boards, including the upgrade drip edges for gutters.

You can also look at models with carbon filters which will help keep even more particles out of your air supply, but these aren't nearly as common.\r\rAnother option is a double-layer filter system which uses activated charcoal between two layers of metal mesh screening to filter oil and heat vapours from cooking fumes rather than just absorbing them.\r\rChoose a range hood that is quiet during operation. \r\rRange hoods produce noise from the fan and motor when they are in use but you may want to choose one with an insulated exterior which will help keep the noise down.
