Technician was courteous and cleaned our 15 foot long dryer exhaust pipe in about 5 minutes. Price was over $260. This might be a competitive price, but next time I plan to get more than one quote just to make sure.

I was happy with the technician Jack who visited my house and was in and out in about 12 minutes! Yes, 12 minutes total! Jack was kind and respectful. He did a great job and cleaned up all the lint that he unclogged and blew out. I am more concerned with the price! SO EXPENSIVE! $328.50 to unclog a dryer vent that only took 12 minutes! That is why I attached my bill to be transparent. As a single dad, I don't have time to call multiple companies and get competing quotes. Or time to rent the necessary equipment or buy the equipment at a hardware store. My dryer would not work. The 4-inch dryer pipe was completely clogged! Would I use them again, NO. Would I recommend them, NO. Would I call a plumber to use similar tools to unclog my dryer pipe for half the price, YES!!!! All you need is a spin brush attached to a drill and a leaf blower. I am happy the my dryer works now. Just shocked that it cost $328.50 (the $49 inspection fee is also added in and on top of the service price). Some companies waive the "inspection fee" if you agree to the service and have them complete the work in the same day. They share to have Dryer Vent Wizard come out every 2 years to service. No way!

Our technician was Chris. He called before arriving, as requested. He immediately noticed a problem at the outdoor vent, which was full of lint and blocked by a screen. He advised removing the screen for better air flow. He inspected the vent installation and cleaned the vent from outside through to the back of the dryer. He cleaned up the loosened lint before leaving. He was very professional. The cost was exactly what was estimated on the phone, except that the scheduler neglected to mention the service charge. Other than that, I was pleased with the service.

I recently noticed that the catch basin for my dryer vent was filling up with lint and decided to have it emptied and my vent cleaned at the same time. Since the basin is on the 2nd floor, I need someone to come empty it for me, and I reached out to a a few vendors on Angie's List, none of whom got back to me. Dryer Vent Wizard has almost unanimously positive ratings, so I contacted them directly, and set up an appointment. The technician who came out, Chris, was on time, courteous, and thoroughly professional throughout. He saw that the basin needed emptying and also informed me that it was against fire code to have a trap basin for the lint like that, something which makes perfect sense to me, even though many people use one. He offered to put in a closing over the vent that pushes the lint out through a sliding door device, and I agreed to the work. He tested my vent to see if it was clogged and it needed cleaning. It did not. The price charged, including the service call was about $140.00, well worth it, as now I believe all of my lint is being pushed out of the vent without it being a fire risk. The company has my strong recommendation--in fact, I recommended them to my condominium neighbors.

Service ok but way too expensive for what was done. Would not recommend to anyone.
Response from Dryer Vent Wizard of Central Ohio

"Hello Randie, We give an estimate before we do anything so that if you feel it is too expensive you have a choice whether or not to proceed. But sorry you fell this way. We have been in business for 14 years, we warranty our work, and really want to make customers happy. Unfortunately you feel differently. But thank you for your business. Rick"

I called their customer service and explained to them in very detail that my dryer vent need a thorough inspection since I am pretty sure that the contractor who worked on my basement bathroom has connected the dryer vent to the bathroom exhaust fan. After listening to my concerns, they said a technician will come and do an inspection. When the technician came, all he did was to connect a blower to my dryer vent and decided no air was blower from the outlet outside the house. I asked him to camera inspection, he said he did not carried with him and I need to call the office again for them to come out with camera for inspection. He first tried to charge me $59 for this worthless inspection and when I said your office quoted $49, he then agreed to charge the same. I felt he just came to get the money and left, did nothing to make sure to actually find the real issue. I called their office to complain and I was being told by their representative that she just handles the scheduling and will make the owner call me back that I never received any call back from them.

Jim was great. He inspected everything and then explained everything to me in detail. Did not try to oversell me on anything. Replaced the pipe I had behind my dryer which was a fire hazard with a new one. Fully cleaned out the duct and showed me how to upkeep the cleaning of my dryer as well. Very nice and professional! Would recommend!

Mr. Coleman was courteous and explained everything he would be doing. He was able to call and ask if I was available for an early arrival because he had finished another job early! So definitely on time and the service was completed in a timely manner. I would like to include that I am a repeat customer.

No problems with the technician Chris but had issues with the company as a whole. Horrible customer service. The condo complex in which I own a unit recommended this company to do the cleanings and indicated we should get some sort of group rate. That didn’t happen. In fact, they charged me the almost $200 cleaning fee on top of the $49 service fee (NOT an inspection). Also, they told me they couldn’t do estimates over the phone, but the technician told me it was going to be $198 to clean without even taking a look! I’m sorry, but knowing the cost without looking but not giving me a quote over the phone means they wanted to charge me the $49 service fee regardless. They should have at least offered a range over the phone after giving a description of the unit, as I think $200 for a cleaning plus a $50 service fee is overpriced. At this point I figured to go ahead and pay them to do the work since I was going to be out $50 anyway. I didn’t want to give my credit card to the technician so he told me to call the head office to make the payment, otherwise he couldn’t do the work. He got there before 8:30, but the office didn’t open until 9, so this rather irritated me as well. (At this point I had spoken to the scheduler who was the only one in the office, and she was the only one in this whole process who was understanding and sympathetic. I had to call the office to get ahold of the office manager after 9.) And when I explained to Michelle how the customer service had been lacking, she basically said sorry once (clearly not caring about my issues), took my credit card info, and left it at that. I would never hire these guys again.
Response from Dryer Vent Wizard of Central Ohio

"I am sorry about your experience. We provide a price before we do the work. If someone is unhappy with our estimate, then they are free to use someone else. There are several reasons why we were not able to offer a group rate. 1) we have no idea how many people are going to call us. 2) there are many different types of vents - some exit the first floor, some on the second and some out the roof. Some of these have bird's nests and need covers replaced. 3) we do not know how many will call us. So, it would be unfair to offer a price when we do not know what we are getting into with all the variables. We do not know who will use our services or who will call someone else. I am glad to hear that the technician did a good job."

Punctual. More expensive than I was originally told. Mr. Coleman cleaned out from the outside vent only. It did not suck out the lint afterwards like he said it would. Now there is a loud noise. I kept asking Mr. Gutridge for him to come back and was told there was a warranty and he would, but he never contacted me nor came back. Very disappointed.

Be careful with this one. I called to schedule a cleaning based on reviews but asked how they charge for the service. I understand everyone's set up is different. I just needed to understand if we're talking $50 or $500. Man on phone said the technician would quote a price before any work was completed. Then as he was scheduling me, he said there would be a $49 inspection fee just to look at it. In other words, it costs $49 just for an estimate. Dryer vent cleaning company in Naples, FL told me up front - $50 + gave me the cost per foot of line from dryer to outside vent so I knew what I was getting into. This company wouldn't tell me how they charge.
Response from Dryer Vent Wizard of Central Ohio

"I am sorry but we cannot accurately estimate over the phone. It could be $75 or $500 or more depending what we find. We give an estimate when we see your situation and get your approval first. If we find a line that has foil or plastic, we cannot clean it but we offer options to replace it which will be more than cleaning but will bring your situation up to code. Our priority is proper venting so we look at that before we tackle any job. Sometimes we need to get on a ladder to clean higher vents or roof vents which cost more. Sometimes we find birds nests in lines that cost more to clean. Our goal is to improve venting and fire safety from the dryer to the cover. We specialize in just dryer vents and also check the air flow before we start and when finished to insure we cleaned the line and improved the situation. Best regards, Rick"

James called in advance and was prompt. His assessment of our vent clean revealed an odd combination of complicating factors. .We knew the vent was a basement to roof 2 story stack in our 70 year old home. What we didn't know or couldn't access easily was that the connector pipe was an old oval gas dryer furnace configuration encased in cement that had a tragically wrong 4 to 2 inch reduction elbow jammed way up in it after the original owners converted from a gas to electric dryer. .See the photo to appreciate the fire hazard this hidden pipe created. James was amazing. This man is funny, focused, smart and exceptionally customer service- oriented. His proposal for new vent line a few feet out of the house was the ideal long term solution. It was, in fact, the optimal solution for us. Kudos to James and to Dryer Vent Wizard for empowering their employees to do what is best for the customer. I highly recommend James for your work from this company

All went perfect, Francis is a great guy. I highly recommend them. Just one small problem: I am still awaiting for the promised credit card receipt by email. P.S. Dear Dryer Vent Wizard guys, if you read this, please email me the receipt.
Response from Dryer Vent Wizard of Central Ohio

"Hello [Member Name Removed], Thanks for the feedback and your business! I just checked with the office manager and she says she mailed the receipt last week so you should be getting in the mail anytime. If you still don't have it in a couple days, just give me a call 614-935-9574. Francis' credit card machine was not working or he would have provided a paper receipt on the spot. Thank you again, Rick"
