HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY PAY
Dryer vent cleaning is often advertised with a vague "starting at" price that changes once the technician sees a roof exit, a long run or years of buildup. Here are our three flat prices:
- Standard one-story run: $250 for a typical one-story run from the dryer to the outside cap.
- Long run or roof exit: $350 for a longer duct or a vent that exits through the roof.
- Heavy buildup or bird nest: $450 for a vent packed with years of lint or blocked by a nest.
The technician confirms which price applies on site before starting. Crushed, damaged or disconnected duct found during the cleaning is quoted separately. Need the chimney swept too? A standard chimney cleaning and a standard dryer vent cleaning in the same visit cost $550 for both.
What drives the price
WHAT MAKES ONE DRYER VENT CLEANING COST MORE THAN ANOTHER
VENT EXIT LOCATION
A one-story run that exits through a wall is the standard $250 cleaning: we work at the dryer and at the outside cap. A roof exit needs ladder work, sometimes fall protection, and more time on the roof, so it is priced at $350.
VENT LENGTH & BENDS
A short one-story run cleans quickly. A long run with several elbows needs more passes, sometimes more than one access point, and longer lint extraction, so it is priced at $350. We bring brushes in different lengths to handle any layout.
LINT BUILDUP
A vent cleaned in the last year usually has a thin layer of lint that comes out in one pass. A vent left for years often has compressed lint packed near the bends, and birds sometimes nest in the vent. Heavy buildup or a bird nest is priced at $450, because it takes extraction tools and extra passes.
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED
Crushed, damaged or disconnected duct found during the cleaning is quoted separately, and so is a new vent cap if yours is cracked or missing its bird guard. Most homes don't need either. If yours does, we show you the damage and price the part before we do anything.
