"Gustavo and his crew showed up on time and completed the job quickly and thoroughly, and cleaned up afterward. There was an extra charge since they had to go up on the roof to get the top section of the dryer vent from there, but the cost was competitive."
"Herman was amazing! I had put off getting my dryer vents cleaned until my dryer would not turn on until I got it done. Of course I was in the middle of the family laundry! He came that day and cleaned out everything. He came back the next day to also clean out the AC ducts. It’s like new!! Not only did he do a great job but he came immediately to fix the emergency of my own making. So thankful!"
"I was very impressed with the level of professionalism from the technicians of United Home Cleaning Service. They were able to clean my dryer vent and also reconnect the vent inside the wall from where another contractor had broken it. I will be adding United Home Cleaning Services to my list of trusted contractors in my area."
"Indigenous Heating and Cooling did an amazing job they workaround everything financially very accommodated help me out with the circumstance making sure my heater worked again he also gave me a reasonable price on the cost."
So over the past 5+ years I’ve mainly been cleaning water tanks for water districts all over Houston. I graduated from Texas A&M and continue to grow my Buisness pressure washing as much as possible.

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.
Professionals use specialized tools to clean dryer vents effectively. These tools typically include a combination of flexible rods and brushes designed to navigate the vent's twists and turns. The brushes dislodge and loosen lint and debris, while the rods help extend the reach through the vent. High-powered vacuums with HEPA filters are also used to capture and remove the dislodged lint and particles, ensuring a thorough cleaning. In some cases, professionals may employ video inspection cameras to assess the condition of the vent and confirm that it's entirely clean.
The average cost of a dryer vent ranges from $100 to $300 for the various models, but that price doesn’t include installation. If you're hiring a pro, the labor cost to install a dryer vent will be an additional $20 to $35 per hour. The job takes roughly two to four hours, so that’s an extra $40 to $140 altogether.
