To install a 50-foot long ridge vent, a roofing contractor will charge $409, which includes the labor and material. If you're a handy homeowner who has experience working on roofing projects, you can buy the ridge vent material for $125 and install it yourself, saving 69 percent, a nice reward for your work.
Converting existing fireplaces to gas is the least expensive option for homeowners and involves simply inserting gas logs. These nonflammable logs look much like real wood, and come in vented and ventless types. Vented gas logs require a working existing chimney and cost from $300 to $550, according to CostHelper. Ventless gas logs do not need a pipe or chimney and cost from $350 to $600. Installation adds $200 to $350 extra to cover a licensed contractor and a new gas outlet. Another conversion method uses top-vented gas fireplace inserts, which may include fans and thermostats.
