"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."
"Vaccumed ducts at each return and delivery vent. Only one very high return was missed. Santizer fog placed in returns and thru the house. Dryer vent cleaned from outside. Before photos shown for a few vents but no after photos provided."
"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."
"Hired FCS for dryer vent cleaning. The owner was very responsive, gave us a great rate (half the cost of some of the other quotes), sent a tech out the same day as we accepted their bid. Tech arrived promptly, was friendly and professional, cleaned out years of accumulation in a flurry of lint. We will hire these folks again."
Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts
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.
Yes, most services include ductwork and venting to ensure adequate airflow. Confirm with your contractor.
A dryer vent inspection is simply the process of checking the vent for the possibility of damage or clogs. You can do it yourself or hire a pro. Pull the dryer away from the wall and inspect the portion of the vent that’s behind the appliance for lint buildup or kinks. Check the connection of the vent to the wall for loose parts or lint that’s escaping the vent. Check the exterior exhaust vent for signs of damage or lint blockage. A pro can check the length of the vent inside the wall for you.
Signs include longer drying cycles, a burning smell, excess lint behind the dryer, and the vent hood not opening properly.
Yes, mold can grow in a wet dryer vent. Mold is a type of fungi, and fungi thrive in warm, moist conditions. Dryer vents need to be aired out so heat can escape and moisture can dry. If your dryer vents aren’t properly vented, the trapped heat and moisture will cause mold to grow, and the mold can spread to the dryer and even your clothes. Not only can this leave a musty smell on your freshly laundered clothes, but—more importantly—it also poses a health risk.
