Dryer Vent Doctor

Mike is an expert and wonderful to work with for dryer vent cleaning. As a sole proprietor he makes sure the work is done well and to very high standards every time. I have used Dryer Vent Doctor three times now. The first two were at my previous residence and the third at a new home. The previous owner had not cleaned the dryer vent in a long time (maybe ever) so it was important and essential to get this done. The pricing of Dryer Vent Doctor is extremely reasonable at $79 for normal vents and $99 for roof vents that require more work. Mike showed me how he moves heavy dryers and pedestals to gain access to the vent and cleans up inside and outside after removing all of the lint and debris caught in the vent. Please note that Mike does not have any staff and handles calls, appointments and service calls himself. If you are wanting the best be patient and Mike will get back to you as his voicemail states. See you in a few years Dryer Vent Doctor. A very happy customer indeed.

I had a very unusual experience with Mike Smith of the Dryer Vent Doctor. I had been using his service for close to 10 years, The last time he was here, he disassembled a 4” dryer duct to clean it, and then reassembled it. A few days later I found a piece of that duct lying on the floor of my basement. I contacted him about it, and asked him to let me know when he’d be in my area so he could put it back on. I was polite and made no demands of him. For some reason, he would not return any of my 7 or 8 calls or emails over a period of almost two months. After all these years of problem-free service, he is still refusing to get back to me! I’ve read other reviews that describe similar instances, All this man has to do is contact me and give his point of view. The worst that could happen would be for me to tell him I will no longer use his services, but that’s the case anyway, since I would never rehire a person who drops me like a hot potato over such a minor incident. He could call and say, for instance that he would have to charge a fee to repair it, or suggest I get an HVAC guy to do it. That would end it, but he refuses to respond, I’m a very easygoing and reasonable man, but what is his problem?

great great

Mike is wonderful. He did the work that I needed quickly and effectively, and was even cheerful while doing it. The work that he did was excellent. I can’t recommend him enough.

Efficiently and quickly done

This is the second time I have had Mike out to do this for me. He is trustworthy, extremely reasonably priced, punctual and professional. He has saved me from having to replace a dryer that really didn't need to be replaced, 2 times now. Thank you Mike!

Great. Everything works well now and his prices were reasonable.

Perfectly!

I called and left a message with Mike, and he returned my call and set up a date and time with me. Not only was he a few minutes early, but he was so nice and friendly. He explained what he was doing along the way, and it was amazing how packed this vent was. He actually filled his vacuum completely. Not only did Mike keep my home clean, he did everything so quickly, so I was extremely pleased that this took only minutes out of my day, and I didn't have to go back and clean up after him. I would recommend him to anyone who needed this service, and I will definitely use him again when I need this vent cleaned again. (I won't let so any years go by this time!)

Very well. Dryer performs much better now.

Mike came over and did a great and professional job cleaning out my dryer vent. Now, dryer loads are finishing in an hour compared to several hours. He was fast, efficient and courteous. I highly recommend this company!

Mike came out and found right away that a section of my dryer vent was unattached. He attached it, cleaned the entire vent and now works good as new.  

Look no further for someone to clean your dryer vent, Mike is the most knowledgeable and does a super professional cleaning  for a good price.

Went great!!! Mike arrived right on time. He had to first get up on the roof to clean the lint around the dryer vent cover. Our roof is very steep, so that was a challenge. He then came back in and used a heavy duty vacuum to catch all the lint ... Then, back on the roof to be sure the vent was totally clean. He then cleaned up after himself and hooked the dryer back up and left. A great experience. He told me the dryer vent should be cleaned every 1-1/2 to 2 years. I will be careful to have him do that in the future!!!

Mike was great! He cleaned out my dryer duct that runs under my house in my crawl space and he cleaned out lint from my dryer. He also replaced my vent that connects from the dryer to the wall.He was very professional and after he was done there was no mess. He was very neat and clean as he performed the job. I would call him again in a minute and refer him to others.

Mike was easy to get in contact with. We were able to schedule an appointment the next day. Mike was on time and was very professional. He was very thorough in his work and even did some extra work to make our vent function better at no extra charge. I had called some other companies and they had their flat rate + they charged extra if they had to get on the roof, etc. Mike also gave us some great tips on dryer safety and left everything neat and clean. I would highly recommend The Dryer Vent Doctor!

Dryer Vent Doctor was fine. I had never had my dryer vent cleaned before. I live in a condo within a 2 story building. It was amazing how much came out. It was real good. I had a coupon from Angie's List for their services. Their professionalism was excellent. He came and had the equipment. He was very pleasant and professional in doing their job. He answered any questions I had. I felt they were very good and I have his business card. It is hard to not call him again when I need it.

Extremely competent and efficient.  Only difficulty was making the initial contact.  A bit hard to reach, but I persevered!  Glad I did.

I had left a message for Mike yesterday, he returned my call and left a message.  When I called him the next morning he was able to schedule my service the same day.  He called at our appointment time to let me know he was running about 20 minutes late and then showed up as indicated.  He reviewed my dryer setup and indicated I wouldn't require the standard charge because our duct was flex hose and only about 7' so only charged $30 vs his flat $69.  Very professional, considerate and fair.  Will definitely use Dryer Vent Doctor again.

See description. Professional, thorough, reasonable price.

very good

Mike was very professional, fast and thorough.  He explained what he was doing, and pulled an enormous amount of lint from the duct (10 years worth).  He did what he said he would for a reasonable price.

Mike returned my call within hours, even though it was in the evening (after business hours) when most people called the next day.He was able to come out just two days after calling. Mike was very knowledgable about our situation and had all the right tools to get the job done. It was such a fair price that I will absolutely call him the next time our dryer duct needs cleaning! Best of all, he was able to remove a pesky bird nest in our bathroom fan duct.

Mike was going to be a little late so he called and arrived when he said he would.  I felt comfortable with the job he performed and the dryer has been more efficient since then.

Mike was very professional throughout the process.  He gave me a quote over the phone to replace the dryer vent based on how we thought our dryer vent was set up (short run straight up @ 8 feet and out the wall).  We suspected that there was a clog due to the dryer running excessively, and wanted to replace it because it was the old vinyl hose which is no longer used.  Unlike most service companies he gave a specific time to come out rather than a huge window.  He was running a couple minutes late but called to let me know.  I never would have dinged him for a couple minutes given that he did not give the usual several hour window, but it was really nice that he called to let me know.  When he arrived, he worked very efficiently.  It turned out the line did not go straight up and out as we had thought.  Once in the ceiling, they ran it 3 feet to the right, ducking under a joist and around a water line which contributed to why our line was completely packed with lint.  We had to cut a strip in the ceiling so the line would run straight rather than under/around obstacles.  Mike got it all done quickly, and despite the additional complexity, he still charged the quoted price.  He offered some suggestions on how we could help make the line less conspicuous.  The wife and I celebrated later that day when for the first time in years, a load of laundry was completely dry after a single cycle.  If your dryer isn't performing, do yourself a favor and have Mike come clean your line...not only will your dryer work more efficiently, but you will eliminate a very dangerous fire hazard.  Only sad part is Mike did such a great job improving our set up, it will be a while before we need his services again.
