Complete Dryer Vent services is going to probably cost more that the local handyman or companies who clean vents BUT they did the most complete and thorough job that i've ever seen.
They first go on the roof and clean out the vent with several different brushes. They then pull out the dryer and systematically clean out the dryer lint trap and the ducting. They are very careful not to damage the floor and will put sliders under the dryer. The technician had several smaller brushes and maybe even a tooth brush that he used in all the nooks and crannies that he could reach when cleaning the dryer lint trap and duct work. They then use a special rotary brush to clean out the main duct going to the roof. Once done they go back on the roof to clean any additional dirt that came out and check the air flow with a special meter and then use a blower to remove any dirt/lint that got blown around the roof. They did everything along with taking before and after pictures that are sent to you with the bill. The technician reviews everything and shows you the before and after pictures at the end of the job. He spent about an hour and 15 minutes solidly working.
They used mats on the roof so not to damage any of the shingles. They used a special gutter cover so the ladder wouldn't scratch the gutter when they climbed onto the roof. When they cleaned ducts that were in the house they used a damp towel to wipe everthing down after they used the brushes. They did a great job of vaccuming and even cleaned under the washing machine. I just never saw anything like this ever when i've had my dryer ducts cleaned by other professionals in the past.
This might sound like overkill but this company doesn't just run a brush up and down the duct and leave.They have special rotary brushes that remove all the built up dirt and lint so you see clean metal duct work when completed. This means the ducts will take longer to build up dirt and lint than just brushing.
I was very satisified with the work and felt the cost was worth all the work that was done. I guess you get what you pay for. I highly recommend this dryer duct cleaning company even though they are slightly more expensive than the rest. Since you only have to do this service usually once a year the cost is not an issue. There is a special price right now so if you are interested give them a call.
