Mark was extremely helpful in guiding me toward finding the correct fan to replace ours. Shipping was fast, and we had our replacement fan in just a few days.

Because of the age of the order and the customization you required at the time of ordering we were not able to take your vents back. I'm sorry for the disappointment.

Items takes a little time to get they are not in stock. Powder coating is ok for the roof, but are not pretty enough for what they cost.

Products are awesome. Thought the shipping was a bit steep. Still, you cant get vents like this anywhere else, as far as I can tell.

Poor communication

Poor communication. They can not give me an estimated delivery date. It has been a month since I ordered and every week they tell me it should be done by the end of the week. I was excited to try out a new product before replacing 30 old WhirlyBirds but this experience has triggered me to look elsewhere. I cannot image how long it would take for them to make 30 vents.

Very sorry Jeff. Industrial sized vents (in this case 36 inch in diameter) do take longer at times. This should have been communicated.

Bad design for pitched roofs. Waste of time and money.
RBV-10-c4-gy
Ok per your website description, this vent can be used on pitched roofs. This design however, can work only for flat roofs. It would simply allow water to enter inside.
The way is made, looks like is good quality, but I ordered painted and can't be returned.
And that's is disappointing.

Hi, this is Ethan. Sorry to hear about your disappointment. Which item did you purchase and what type of roof did you install it on. Also, what negative experiences are you currently having with your product? I'm interested in helping you.

Ok, but is there something wrong with the vent other than it being parallel with the pitch of the roof? Or is it that since it is not leveled you do not favor in the design? Please forgive me but I'm trying to understand what is the actual problem you are experiencing. We value your feedback it helps to guild us in how we manufacture and market our products. We have been doing this since 1997

Possibly our two in tall collar would have been a better choice for you. It is much lower profile for a pitched roof, so it may look nicer.

Yes it is true that vents need to have taller collars or curbs on flat or low sloped roofs. All vents are raised for those types of applications not just ours. Some professionals like our taller collars on pitched roofs because of other needs beyond a typical scope, this is why we offer offer them.

Unfortunately, you did not have the need for your roof vents to have such a tall profile for your pitched roof. If you have any future projects or needs, I'm available to assist you so that you can be better informed. For now, if you want to work out a resolution for your immediate need my email address is ethan@roofvents.com Thanks, Ethan

after 13-15 years they still perform like it was day one

i bought of pair of Active Vent retrofits -- 13-15 Years ago (!) to replace those useless turbine spinners -- i noticed brown spots on my ceiling - surprised to discover they were letting in rain and they were in good shape and spun fairly fast. i just took out the spinners - fit these retrofits in - they fit just right - fastened the standing vent pipe with some galvanized screws - easy peasy.

Fast forward to 2019 - they still look great although the label has faded from being exposed to the sun - They do not let the rain in - and i live in the NYC area which saw back to back hurricanes - Irene in 2011 and the devastating Hurricane Sandy 2012. These retrofit vents will prob out last me.

wrong part right treatment

I ordered a vent cap to be painted. I received an unpainted one. Upon notification active ventilation immediately refunded my money. Sometimes it goes wrong but they made it right. That is my kind of company.

I am still waiting for a response for shipping and handling that was promised to be sent to me. If and when I receive that to pay and receive the vents your rating will improve.

03/21/2019, I emailed roofvents.com some pictures on my kitchen, bathroom and roof vent. Later spoke with Ethan half hours on the phone. At the end,Ethan offer his expert advise on what I really need and don't need, without pushing to sale anything to me.
I REALLY APPRECIATE HIS HONEST ADVISE.
I will recommend this company to anyone as they are honest people. I was going to buy some replacement vent and hoping it will fix my problem but Ethan said I would do it but will not solve my problem.
Thank you!
