Squamish, BC · Sea to Sky corridor
Residential Sheet Metal & Ventilation Contractor in Squamish
I handle residential ductwork and ventilation across the Sea to Sky, routing the air properly on renovations, older homes, and HVAC upgrades.
Residential sheet metal & ventilation services
Custom ductwork, fan and range-hood venting, dryer vents, and HRV/ERV work for homeowners and builders in Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton.
Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication for Residential HVAC & Ventilation
I fabricate custom ductwork, transitions, plenums, boots, and ventilation components for residential HVAC and ventilation projects across the Sea to Sky corridor.
Residential HVAC Ductwork Installation & Repair
I install, replace, and repair residential HVAC ductwork, supply and return runs, plenums, takeoffs, and transitions, sized for real airflow across the Sea to Sky corridor.
Bathroom Fan Venting & Exhaust Ducting
I vent bathroom exhaust fans to proper exterior terminations, clearing moisture out of the home instead of into the attic, where it causes condensation and mould.
Range Hood Venting & Kitchen Exhaust Ducting
I duct range hoods to the outside with properly sized rigid ducting and exterior terminations, clearing smoke, grease, and steam instead of recirculating it.
Dryer Venting & Exhaust Duct Repair
I install and repair dryer venting with smooth rigid duct and proper exterior terminations, shortening runs, cutting lint buildup, and reducing fire risk.
HRV & ERV Ventilation Ducting
I install and correct the ducting for HRV and ERV systems: supply, exhaust, and fresh-air runs laid out for balanced whole-home ventilation in tight modern homes.
Heat Pump Ductwork & Duct Retrofits
I modify and retrofit ductwork for ducted heat pumps: resizing returns, reworking plenums, and correcting runs so the system delivers even heating and cooling.
Crawlspace & Under-Floor Duct Repair
I repair crawlspace and under-floor ductwork: reconnecting fallen runs, replacing crushed sections, and sealing and supporting ducting so heated air reaches the rooms above.
Renovation Ventilation & Duct Modifications
I adapt ductwork and ventilation during renovations: re-routing runs, adding exhaust, and fitting custom transitions so the system suits the home's new layout.
New Construction Ductwork & Ventilation
I rough in and install complete duct and ventilation systems for new homes: supply, return, exhaust, and HRV/ERV ducting, coordinated with builders and the trades.
Kitchen Ventilation & Exhaust Planning
I plan and build the whole kitchen exhaust path (hood ducting, the right exterior cap, and make-up air where a powerful hood needs it) so the kitchen actually clears smoke and steam.
Exterior Vent Terminations & Wall and Roof Caps
The cap where a vent exits the building is where most venting problems start. I install wall and roof caps with proper backdraft dampers, sealed and flashed to keep weather and pests out.
Attic Venting Corrections for Bath & Exhaust Fans
A fan that vents into the attic instead of outside dumps moist air where it condenses and causes mould. I reroute it to a sealed, insulated exterior termination.
Airflow Problems & Duct Repair
When one room never heats, cools, or gets air, the duct is usually the cause. I trace weak airflow back to crushed, disconnected, or undersized ducting and fix the actual restriction.
Custom Duct Transitions, Plenums & Fittings
When standard fittings do not fit the equipment or the framing, I fabricate the transitions, plenums, takeoffs, and boots that connect it all properly, often supporting an HVAC installer.
Basement & Secondary Suite Ventilation
A legal suite needs its own exhaust and fresh-air path. I plan and install the bathroom, kitchen, dryer, and HRV/ERV ducting a basement or secondary suite needs, coordinated with the renovation.
Serving Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton & the Sea to Sky corridor
Based in Squamish, I provide residential sheet metal and ventilation services up and down the Sea to Sky corridor, also reaching Britannia Beach, Furry Creek, Garibaldi Highlands, and Brackendale.
Common problems I fix
These are the calls I get most, the ventilation faults that hide behind finished walls, older homes, and HVAC upgrades:
- Bathroom fans venting into attics or crawlspaces instead of outside
- Range hoods with poor airflow or no exterior termination
- Crushed or disconnected crawlspace ductwork
- Dryer vents that are too long, clogged, or poorly routed
- Heat pump retrofits that need duct changes
- Renovations where existing ductwork no longer fits
- New homes needing clean, code-aware ventilation routing
- HRV / ERV ducting that needs proper layout and balancing support
What I do, and what I don’t
What I do
- Residential sheet metal and custom fabrication
- Custom ductwork, transitions, and plenums
- Bathroom fan and range hood venting
- Dryer vents and exterior terminations

When you call, you get me, JP Gaudreau, not a call centre. I quote the work, fabricate the metal, and install it myself. More about how I work →
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve Whistler and Pemberton?
Yes. I am based in Squamish and provide residential sheet metal, ductwork, and ventilation services throughout the Sea to Sky corridor, including Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, Britannia Beach, Furry Creek, Brackendale, Garibaldi Highlands, and nearby communities.
Do you work with homeowners as well as builders?
Yes. I work directly with homeowners on ductwork repairs, bathroom fan venting, range hood venting, dryer vents, heat pump ductwork, and crawlspace repairs, and I also support builders, renovators, and HVAC contractors who need residential sheet metal and ductwork.
What should I send to get an accurate quote?
The most helpful things are photos of the fan, hood, vent, ductwork, attic, crawlspace, or mechanical room, plus the project location, the type of project (repair, renovation, or new construction), any measurements or drawings, and appliance or HVAC model numbers if they're relevant. The more I can see up front, the faster and more accurate the estimate.
Do you supply and install furnaces, heat pumps, or air conditioners?
No. I'm a sheet metal and ductwork trade, not a heating-and-cooling equipment dealer. I design, fabricate, and install the ducting and ventilation that connects and supports those systems, and I frequently work alongside HVAC installers who supply the equipment. If you need duct changes for a new furnace or heat pump, that's exactly the part I handle.
Do you do residential work, commercial work, or both?
My focus is residential: houses, townhomes, suites, and the renovations and new builds that go with them. I also support builders and HVAC contractors on residential projects. For light commercial ventilation, ask me and I'll let you know if it's a fit; I don't take on industrial-scale sheet metal manufacturing.
Do you handle ductwork and venting to code?
Yes. Residential ductwork and ventilation, where exhaust fans terminate, how dryer and range hood venting is run, and how HRV/ERV systems are laid out, is governed by the building code, and I do the work to meet it. For renovations and new construction I coordinate with the builder or general contractor on any permits the overall project requires.
Need ductwork or ventilation help?
Send a few details about the home, the issue, and the location. I will let you know whether I can help and what the next step looks like.
