After our hail damage, we called D & M. Our estimate was done timely and very thoroughly by a knowledgable and experienced estimator.. We asked them to do the work, but due to our own problems (doctors and hospital), the work had to wait. We were happy they could get the work done before cold...
I called his office on a Friday morning when the dryer stopped working. His secretary told me that he probably would not be able to get out until Monday. I told her I had two loads of wet clothes, that I got his name from Angie's list, and if he had a cancellation I would love to have that...
9 1 1 Appliance RepairI called Frank's business and made an appt. for him to come out and clean the carpets.

Jim, Andy, and their crew arrived the day they said they would. I gave Jim a check for half of the amount of the roofing, even though I offered to pay the entire amount then. He said he wanted to wait until the job was done. The crew was friendly; played with our Golden Retriever, and then...
Fantastic! On time every time - even early today. Polite; speaks English well; has the same crew each time; cleans up after themselves; does things that we don't even see - weeds growing around a base of a tree; suckers on the lemon tree - and removes those things. Very knowledgeable. Wish...
My overall experience was excellent. Both Larry and Jason are born comedians, and feed off each other. It was a pleasure to have them work in the house. (Plus, they played with my dog, which to me is a plus!) They were on time; clean; professional and knew their business. After quoting me a...

The average cost to clean a dryer vent is around $140, but you could pay between $75 and $325, depending on the size of your dryer vent, accessibility, and how much debris is caught inside the vent. A first-floor or basement vent will usually be the most affordable to professionally clean, while a second-floor or roof vent will be more expensive due to additional equipment required for access. Your price could increase higher than these estimates if you also want an official dryer vent inspection or if your professional discovers that you need vent repairs.
Yes, dryer vent cleaning is absolutely worth the money. The service is relatively inexpensive and quick, and the value and peace of mind you get for the investment make it worthwhile. A clogged dryer vent is a significant fire risk, so the average $140 you might pay to have your dryer vent cleaned once a year could save you thousands of dollars in home repairs if the clog causes a fire. Additionally, some homeowner’s insurance companies will charge you a lower premium if you provide receipts of annual dryer vent cleanings by a professional.
Some signs of a clogged dryer vent include the following:
Your clothes take longer than usual to dry.
The exterior of your dryer gets very hot during operation.
You see lint around the area where the vent leaves your exterior wall.
You notice unusual or burning odors during dryer operation.
If you notice any of these signs, discontinue use and call a dryer vent cleaning service immediately. Neglecting a clogged dryer vent drastically increases the risk of a fire starting in your home.
It’s possible to clean out your dryer vent yourself, and it’s recommended between professional cleanings. You can disconnect the vent, remove lint and debris by hand, and then vacuum the inside of the vent hose using vacuum extensions. However, a DIY dryer vent cleaning should never replace a professional cleaning. At least once per year, you should hire a professional dryer vent cleaner to clear your dryer vent, regardless of how often you clean it yourself. This schedule will provide peace of mind and increased safety for your family and your home.
You should have your dryer vent cleaned by a professional at least once per year. Over time, lint and other debris from your laundry get caught throughout the vent, causing a few different issues. A less severe problem caused by a clogged dryer vent is extended drying time for your clothes, which increases energy costs. More importantly, lint in a clogged dryer vent can easily catch fire, putting your household members and your home at significant risk. Keep in mind that decades-old dryer vent systems may need increased cleaning, so plan to complete this task twice per year.
