My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Downdraft cooktop replacement?

4 years ago

Have a gas 30 inch GE downdraft in a granite island that is on its last leg. Home warranty cant get parts, can only send off for repair at an estimated 14 weeks. Been shopping and only find 2 models on the market(Jenn Air and Kitchen Aid) and not in stock anywhere. Do I have other options other than to wait or replace with standard no vent cooktop? High ceiling and pendulum lights over island so overhead vent would be major overhaul. I've seen the telescopic owns but assume I would need granite cut to accommodate that? How risky is that to have granite cut?
