"Julio cleaned my air ducts recently and did an amazing job. He was very thorough, explained everything that he was doing, gave me great advice, and was polite/ friendly. He took before and after pictures of the ducts and emailed them to me which was nice. I hadn't realized just how dirty my ducts were- gross! I highly recommend Julio to others considering having their ducts/vents cleaned."

"There are two different teams that do these services, so the dryer was scheduled first, and that guy also did the on-site estimate for the gutter cleaning dryer vent- cleaned the vent, but did not clean the dryer itself, $150 gutter cleaning-for 2-story single family home, cleaned gutters, performed water check to look for leaks, but did not find any leaks, $400 Pros- easy to reach, were able to schedule gutter cleaning within one week, while most other companies were scheduling 3 to 4 weeks out Cons- on phone, was told starting price for gutter cleaning was $150. Once the estimator came out it went up to $400- quite an increase! I was not home, so called back to ask for an explanation on the price increase, the woman I intially spoke with became very defensive when questioned, and finally stated the $150 was the starting price for a townhouse, but... I had told her on the initial phone call that the house was a 2-story single family home with walkout basement, so the back gutters were 30 feet high...so I felt that they were misleading on the inital pricing. The company I have used before gave me a quote of $250, but could not get me on their schedule for 3 weeks. In the end, I was willing to pay a higher price to just get it done within the week."
"I had great experience with the chimney cleaning service. Al was professional, punctual, and very thorough. He took the time to clean everything properly and let neat afterwards."
"I liked the fact that they did the vent cleaning from the outside so I didn't have to worry about making space in the laundry room so they could get to the dryer. My only complaint is that it took them a while to get to me, even though I said I needed it done quickly. I had to call twice to get the job moved up, but I am happy with the work."
"Excellent company. Showed up a bit early, got right to work. Answered my questions with a recommendation. Wore the face mask and shoe covers. Cleaned up the lint from cleaning the dryer vent. Simply put, this is absolutely the BEST company ! Bonnie Reston, Va"
"Erick was kind, professional and knowledgeable! He was thorough and took the time to ensure the dryer vent/duct was clear when my dryer kept giving the error code to clean the duct."
Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts
You should clear your dryer lint trap after every cycle, but a deeper clean is needing only one a year. Failure to clear your lint trap regularly results in lint building up over time, making it harder to clean and more expensive.
To maintain your washer and dryer, regularly clean the lint traps, filters, and vents. Also, check the hoses for wear, avoid overloading the machines, and ensure loads are balanced. These practices help optimize performance, prevent future issues, and extend the lifespan of your appliances.
Yes, you can snake a roof vent. This is one of the best ways to clear a problematic clog in a plumbing vent. You can either snake the vent by climbing on the roof and sending the plumber’s snake or auger directly down the vent opening, or you can cut a hole in the vent from inside the attic and snake it from there.
While maintaining a clean dryer vent is crucial for your household’s safety, a professional dryer vent cleaning service will do the trick, and replacing the vent isn’t usually necessary. Provided you don’t see any kinks in your vent or damage to the exterior, a cleaning will maintain your home’s safety and will cost you less than a full replacement. You’ll spend an average of $150 on dryer vent cleaning, while a replacement will cost about $225, and both will yield more or less the same result.
You can clean a dryer vent yourself by unplugging the dryer from your wall outlet, removing your vent pipe from your dryer, removing debris from the pipe and dryer area, and looking at the exterior vent exit for any debris or blockages.
