In the thin mountain air of Park City, Utah, a beautiful kitchen with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances had become a smoky reminder of poor engineering. A poorly designed ventilation system turned a space meant for family gatherings into a frustration-filled environment.
Enter Jeff Kasteler, a seasoned craftsman with over 30 years in construction and carpentry. As the founder of Corner Canyon Customs in 2002, Jeff built his reputation on solving problems others often overlook—turning houses into functional, beautiful homes one project at a time.
“Most people don’t think about airflow until it’s a problem,” Jeff says, reflecting on his work.
Building a Legacy of Craftsmanship
Since its inception, Corner Canyon Customs has transformed homes across Utah, from the historic streets of Salt Lake City to the luxury neighborhoods of Park City. Jeff’s deep understanding of both form and function has allowed him to deliver exceptional craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
“My passion lies in making projects both functional and beautiful,” he explains, a philosophy evident in every project his team undertakes. Whether it’s a complete home remodel or a smaller update, Jeff and his team approach each job with meticulous care, ensuring every detail aligns with the client’s vision.
Solving Complex Challenges with Expertise
One of Corner Canyon Customs’ standout projects involved a kitchen in Park City plagued by inadequate ventilation. Jeff and his team analyzed the space and discovered several issues: a vent hood with insufficient CFM (cubic feet per minute) capacity, a maze of poorly planned ducting, and airflow interruptions causing back pressure.
“It’s more complicated than most people realize,” Jeff says. “Even some professionals don’t fully understand airflow physics.”
By collaborating with the technical experts at Proline Range Hoods, Jeff’s team tripled the ventilation power to 1000 CFM, upgraded the duct outlet, and streamlined the duct pathway. The result? A perfectly balanced system that performs flawlessly, even in high-altitude environments.
To test the new system, Jeff’s team conducted real-world challenges: first lighting matches to observe smoke clearance, and then searing steaks—a task that had previously overwhelmed the kitchen with fumes. This time, the powerful Proline PLJW 108.36 hood kept the air fresh and clear, transforming the kitchen into a welcoming space once again.
Homeowner Clementina praised the transformation, saying, “Now I’m back to cooking anything I want and hosting dinner parties without setting off smoke detectors or having to open windows.”
A Partnership Built on Problem-Solving
Jeff’s journey with Proline Range Hoods began years ago when he sought a solution for another kitchen renovation. Proline’s range of high-performance products, combined with their dedication to customer satisfaction, quickly made them Jeff’s go-to partner for kitchen ventilation systems.
“Having hundreds of models to choose from means I can find the perfect solution for each unique situation,” Jeff says. Proline’s proximity in Salt Lake City also allows Jeff to streamline his workflow and maintain the efficiency his high-end projects demand.
The Corner Canyon Approach
What sets Corner Canyon Customs apart is their comprehensive approach to every project. From the initial planning stages to the finishing touches, Jeff and his team guide clients through every decision, ensuring every element contributes to the client’s vision.
“We’re not just contractors; we’re craftsmen,” Jeff emphasizes. “We understand how to bring a client’s vision to life.”
By focusing on collaboration and detail, the team consistently delivers spaces that are both functional and beautiful.
Expert Insights from Jeff Kasteler
Drawing on years of experience, Jeff offers some valuable tips for homeowners:
- Plan ventilation early: Addressing airflow during the design phase can save significant time and money later.
- Consider your cooking habits: Select a hood with the specifications to match your needs.
- Keep ducting paths straight: Minimizing bends and long runs ensures maximum efficiency.
- Choose the right professionals: Work with experts who understand both aesthetics and engineering.
“Most ventilation needs can be addressed in a few conversations,” Jeff explains, “but Proline’s technical team is always available for additional support if needed.”
