We have a Gardenia, and the Microwave vents inside a wall and through the roof. If your house is similar, then you would need to have 3-4 inches added to the existing vent to lower it also, and this may be one of the reasons you are having trouble with a contractor. I have been known to do this work myself as I am very handy, unfortunately, I cannot do the work for you due to insurance concerns, etc. Also, in our house there is a sticker on one of the cabinets with all of the manufacturer information so you should be able to use that to match the wood and finish.
Finally, contact Home Depot and Lowes, and ask them for a contractor that installs cabinets and under cabinet microwaves, and give them a call.
Hope this helps.
