The duct work is usually concealed within the walls and it is really important to make everything air and water tight. Vent your bath and kitchen exhaust fans through the roof through a special roof hood. For the range hood duct vent is it more effective to go straight up to the roof or go up then bend 90 degree to vent out of the exterior wall.
