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.

Follow up

I wrote a review earlier regarding lack of response from the service team at roofvents.com. They have recently gotten in contact with me and overnighted my vents to meet my schedule. The package arrived the next day and was in good condition. Definitely satisfied with the product and service.

Roof vent arrived damaged

The vent arrived damaged. It was in a sturdy corrugated box, which was perfectly intact when I received it. However, the box was much larger than the vent, which was just placed loose in the box, along with one small loose piece of bubble wrap. The vent was not protected at all from crashing around inside the box.
I opted to bend the vent back into shape, use some screws to hold it together, and patch up the damaged finish coating, rather than hassle with a return and a delay in installation. It seems clear the damage occurred either inside the undamaged box during transit, or, worse, at the factory before it was packed

Thank you for your feedback Morris. First let me say that I am sorry you received your product damaged. If at all possible, I would like to view the damage you received. Can you email me pictures of the vent from different vantage points so that I can learn more? If you can, then please send the pictures to sales@roofvents.com. We take all damage complaints seriously therefore I would like to look into your order. Thank you in advance, Ethan

Solar powered vents

Have been using two solar powered vents for a couple of years with great success and recently added an additional 3 to aid in venting the ridge on my home. Completely satisfied with this product.

The lead time was totally unacceptable…

The lead time was totally unacceptable to anyone experienced with Internet ordering! Two Weeks??? I placed my order on 10-22 and two days later I received the "shipping cost estimate," which I accepted and paid in full within less than 2 hours. Well, the two roof vents finally arrived late this evening and, based on two warnings you sent, I noticed that the box was damaged and I opened the package before signing the delivery receipt. Sure enough, one of the vents was bent (though easily corrected). The UPS delivery person noted that the packaging used was inadequate and I fully agreed. Later I discovered that the 8 self-tapping screws that should have been included were not in the box. Not a huge deal, but not right either. Do you have a distributor in CA. We need about 3 dozen more of these for our building but the lead time and shipping costs are excessive. Thank you for letting me vent!!!

I'm very sorry that we failed to meet your expectations. In short, we are a manufacturer not a distributer therefore we manufacture products to order instead of pulling inventory from a container received from China. Not supplying you the screws is unacceptable. Again, very sorry, I trust if we are fortunate enough to get another order from you, we will ship quicker, safer and with screws.

I purchased a AV-4 Vent

I purchased a AV-4 Vent. It was well packaged and fit the 4" pipe perfect.
I ordered it power coated Umbra Gray and received the unit unpainted. Was a little inconvenient, as I had to take picture of the Vent showing it's unpainted state to receive a credit. Had to learn how to do that. I purchased a can of black spray paint and painted the pipe and vent looks good. Customer service was very pleasant. Overall happy with my purchase.

I ordered the 4” Solar Aura Solar Fan…

I ordered the 4” Solar Aura Solar Fan PVC Cap finished in brown powder coat and have it mounted on my cabin roof. It seems to run without any problems this past summer; I will be using it to pull exhaust for a composting toilet next summer in addition to a solar battery fan pushing air. The fit and finish appear to be of high quality and I would highly recommend any products made by roofvents.com.

Waited for months and finally had to go elsewhere.

We placed an order that we patiently waited for almost 2 months to receive, but after many follow up phone calls made on our part and excuses from Active Ventilation we finally had to cancel and source our fan elsewhere. Every time we called we got an excuse about why the project was delayed. Basically, I think they forgot about it. Several times. When we finally had enough of the same excuse and asked to cancel the order, we were met with an argument and poor attitude. Definitely one of the more strange and disappointing transactions we've had with another business.

First let me say how very sorry I am Michael in failing to provide you your order in a timely manner. Secondly I’m even sorrier you experienced an unsympathetic response by staff when we failed to deliver. I can assure you I will be reviewing your account to find what transpired and to work out a resolve. If it’s OK with you, I would like to speak with you at your convenience so that I can better understand your experience so that this does not happen again.

Michael, I received some clarity this morning. One of our main suppliers for fans was having extensive delays in receiving steel, brass & copper because of issues surrounding the newly implemented tariffs on metal imports. A lot of freight was stuck in customs and in our case this was also true. We were not able to attain helpful information for long durations of time. Unfortunately when you cancelled your order the fans finally came in shortly after. I still take full responsibility for not meeting the standards you deserved. I deeply apologize and hope that our international suppliers and the American Government can continue to work out the bottlenecks that were created

Product was as expected

Product was as expected, perfect fit of existing 'turbine' vent. Installation was a breeze because was perfect. Five stars because of great customer service. - Original product arrived damaged due to carrier (UPS) dropping. Product was quickly replaced. Would recommend.

Color was not the same as web picture

Color was not the same as web picture. Metal gage is thin. Will make a good shed vent. Will try and sale vents.

David I'm sorry on the color discrepancy. It’s common to have color discrepancies. It’s like when you are buying a television for example. At the retail store you look at all the TV screens against the store wall. You view the same program on 5 to possibly 25 screens and that’s when you quickly notice the vast color variations that exist between screens. This is no different. I wish I had a solution for you about this. Lastly, as far as being thin, bear in mind our vents are made of aluminum not steel. They do feel lighter but are tested to withstand wind pressure greater than 200mph. Thanks, Ethan

Product=5; Service=3

The product exceeded expectations. I bought it online, without any experience in what i wanted for a vent for a bathroom fan but knew i had little room between upstairs bathroom ceiling and roof line. So five stars for the product. Three stars for communication of when the product would ship. After three weeks i called to find out the product would likely ship the same or next day. I can't help but feel my call prompted the shipment. Your system lacked a follow-up email to advise customer of shipment. All i got was the order was sent to manufacturing. Also the ordering process was cumbersome, having to wait on a shipment cost after ordering. Expensive shipping $18 for an $18 vent. For a regular UPS cross-country fee for a part that weighed a few ounces seemed high.
