The team at RawUrth is professional from A-Z. They held my hand throughout the entire process, providing me with drawings, samples, videos, phone conversations, and even sent the tool I needed to measure my single-slope ceiling accurately. My RawUrth hood is the jewel of my new kitchen. The finished piece truly exceeded my expectations. It really is perfect. **Comment from Raw Urth Designs:** > Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your kind words!

Your hood is stunning and looks perfect in your kitchen :) thanks again for letting Raw Urth be a part of your project! **★★★★★ — K S, Jan. 2025** > Raw Urth first caught my attention while we were looking at ranges and hoods and saw an amazing design in Specialty Appliance. They were happy to give us the information so that we could visit their "shop," located in downtown Fort Collins! > We were blown away by all of the designs they showcased in their offices. They are an incredible group of designers, fabricators, and patina creators! The owners are on site as well with ideas and support all along the way. > They took so much time to talk through all the many options and we were able to customize our hood to exactly what we needed. We were also able to walk through every part of their process and see what happens with your order in each phase of creation. The result was extraordinary! We couldn't be more thrilled. We created an art piece for our humble home! > I suggest you take some time to visit them if you would like to make a statement of any kind in your home. They can create anything you can imagine!! **Comment from Raw Urth Designs:** > Thank you so much Kit! We are still bringing up YOUR wonderful cheery spirit and we hope you are having amazing meals in your new kitchen!! Cheers, The Urthlings **★★★★★ — HU-724180599, Oct. 2024** > We have nothing but great things to say about this company.

Every single person in this company was a pleasure to work with. > The product they create is unreal, every bit of detail is flawless. So much pride and craftsmanship goes into these hoods! We considered several other companies before finding Raw Urth and feel very blessed we landed with them! > In addition, we had some issues with our hood finish many weeks after install (this was 100% our own fault), Raw Urth and their leadership jumped at the opportunity to help us fix our mistake and make the hood just as beautiful once again! > If you are looking to drastically improve the look of your kitchen and home, look no further, Raw Urth is answer.

Well done! **Comment from Raw Urth Designs:** > Hooray Tim, thank you SO much for the kind review!! It was such a pleasure to work with you :) All of us Urthlings here thoroughly loved getting to see the hood installed. So pretty with your countertops too. Enjoy your newly finished space to the fullest! - Anna **★★★★★ — Dave, April 2024** > We are building a mountain modern custom home, in the Colorado high country. We had real trouble finding a good hood and were referred to Raw Urth by a cabinet maker. They were a joy to work with and the finished product is outstanding. **Comment from Raw Urth Designs:** > Dave - we can't thank you enough for the sweet words of recommendation! Your home is just stunning, and we were so lucky to have a small part in it :) Enjoy your new space! - Anna **★★★★★ — bmanookin, Feb. 2024** > Raw Urth was magnificent to work with! They walked me through every step and answered every question I had with detail and clarity. So seamless. When there was a shipping problem that wasn’t their fault, they jumped in to make everything right and even sent me a pie for the delay. My hood is by far the thing that gets the most comments in my kitchen, even the cabinet company complimented how good it looks. It’s the highlight of the room and I absolutely love it! I’d recommend Raw Urth to anyone looking to create a statement piece in their home. **Comment from Raw Urth Designs:** > Brittany - we can't thank you enough for taking the time to share such kind words!!! Your hood looks STELLAR in your space, it was meant to be in there. We're all so appreciative of you, and wish you ALL the best making memories in your new home :) **★★★★★ — gina cliggett, Sept. 2023** > I cannot say enough about the team at Raw Urth. The design assistant was so helpful in taking my ideas and questions and working with me from start to finish. The production team did an amazing job on my range hood and truly brought my vision to life. I couldn't be happier with the end result which has become a beautiful focal point in my new kitchen. So happy!!! **Comment from Raw Urth Designs:** > Gina! You are amazing! Thank you for such kind words :}. Honestly, you could not have picked a better hood and finish for your kitchen.. It looks gorgeous!! Katie **★★★★★ — wyojam, June 2023** > We love our Raw Urth range hood!!! It is the perfect focal point in our new kitchen. What we were even more impressed with was Raw Urth's commitment to customer satisfaction. We worked with a lot of vendors during our new home build and you never know what kind of support you get from businesses until there are issues. There were no issues working with Raw Urth (their process is seamless from start to finish), but the hood looked different in our space than what I had envisioned. The hood was perfectly crafted and the patina matched the patina we selected, but I had envisioned it to be more colorful and mottled. I was hesitant to contact Raw Urth with my concern because the hood was built exactly as spec'd, but I'm so glad I did. With no hesitation, Raw Urth wanted to work with us to get the look we envisioned. We were fortunate to be able to meet several of the Raw Urth staff during our re-patina process (what a great group!) and now we have our beautiful hood hanging in our kitchen. In addition to the awesome product Raw Urth builds, their commitment to customer satisfaction is genuine and top-notch! **Comment from Raw Urth Designs:** > Mari! We are just all weeping over here.. that was the sweetest review!! Thank you so much for your kind words and for sticking with us through the whole process :) You guys are amazing clients, and made our job easy **★★★★★ — milosmom1, May 2023** > Working with Katie at Raw Urth was the very best part of our kitchen remodel! I love my hood and am so glad we went to Raw Urth. They are true artisans there. And so kind and welcoming. I highly recommend them. I tell anyone who is in the business or planning a kitchen remodel that they must make a trip to Raw Urth!!! **Comment from Raw Urth Designs:** > Oh my goodness Michele, thank you so much for your kind words!!! You were an amazing client and that hood looks absolutely perfect in your space!!!! Enjoy your new kitchen girl :) > > Katie **★★★★★ — HU-870802355, April 2023** > I catch myself standing in my kitchen, staring at our new copper hood in amazement! It is so beautiful and it turned out even better than I could have imagined! If you want a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of artwork for your home, Raw Urth is the place to find it. Thank you so much Anna and the whole team for creating such a quality piece for us, and for taking us through the process so smoothly. And we love the custom pot rack that you made us to match! WOW, what a company and what a product! **Comment from Raw Urth Designs:** > Christine, thank you so much for the kind words! We're SO thrilled with how the pot rack and hood turned out - it makes it even sweeter knowing how much you and Michael love the pieces.

Thank you so much for checking us out! We only made the gorgeous fireplace surround in this photo, so unfortunetly I am not sure where the light fixture is from. The designer that is tag was \*Scott Moran, The Log Home Guy (Cambridge, Wi), if that helps! Good luck :) **Q: Kitchen Hood from vent-a-hood?** *(in Photo Questions)* What vendor is the kitchen hood from? A: Hi there, Laila! That hood is a Raw Urth Designs creation that we are so proud to have built! More specifically, that is a custom Steel Montrose style with our Antique Patina. We have a variety of finishes and styles for you to gain inspiration from. Every single hood that comes through our fabrication shop here in Northern Colorado is custom designed and made for you. If you have questions and want to talk with us more, we'd love to chat with you! You can call us at 970-484-8851 to speak with a Project Coordinator or email me directly at anna@rawurth.com to talk about your space. We look forward to hopefully hearing from you! :) \- Anna at Raw Urth **Q: what are those countertops and where can I find some?!** *(in Photo Questions)* I love those counters! A: Hi there!! These are natural quartzite stone tops, they are GORGEOUS! Lindsie Davis of Blueberry Jones Design was the Interior designer on this project. Feel free to reach out to her for more information on these beautiful counters. :) **Q: Great hood** *(in Photo Questions)* Love this kitchen. Can you let me know where the hood is from and the finish? Thanks A: Hi there! Thanks so much for reaching out! We manufactured and finished the range hood in this gorgeous kitchen! :) The finish on it is Brushed Steel! If you're interested in getting a quote pulled together, feel free to shoot me an email at: Payton@rawurth.com and i'm happy to get you more information from there! All my best, Payton **Q: Love the backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you provide the tile manufacturer? A: Hi Kristy! Thanks for reaching out on this! We love this backsplash too! :) We only did the hood in this kitchen but I have sent an email to the designer to see if we can get the information on the backsplash for you. I'll let you know what I hear! :) **Q: Flush ceiling-mounted hoods** *(in Appliances)* Does anyone have experience with a flush ceiling-mounted hood that they like? We have heavily weighed all of the different options and realize a hood vent would perform better, but were willing to make that compromise to achieve our desired aesthetic. We will likely build it into a bulk head to get it closer to our range. Are there any updated opinions on these products? Are Best and Zephyr still considered thr better brands? Thanks in advance. A: Hi @shoemacl! We came across your discussion post and thought you may be a good fit for us. We craft custom metal range hoods that are GORGEOUS and built with an attention to detail unlike any other. Check out our website to see our styles and photos of projects we've done in the past! www.rawurth.com Give our shop a call at 970-484-8851 to chat about your wants and needs, and maybe we can be a good fit for you!
