need to vent microwave to outside

[shumbapie]

I recently purchased a patio villa that has the over the range microwave vented into the the villa. It's on an outside wall so I would like to have it vented through the wall.

Have any of you had this done? If so, could you please share who did the work for you? Thanks in advance.

(it's vinyl siding on the exterior)

Do yourself a favor, call the county building department and check to see if a permit is required, also, since there will now be a vent on the outside of the house, you will probably need ARC approval. This should be a simple job for a handyman, however, I would make these calls, just in case.
