Default Vent reattachment

When we had our dryer vent cleaned for the first time after the roof was replaced, the gentleman that did the work told us that he could tell that the dryer vent was not connected. He also told us that he has seen this situation all over The Villages. After he left I went up into the attic and found that what he said was true. But, not only was the dryer vent not connected but the stove vent was also not attached and just hanging in midair, about a foot from being attached.
Was this something you could fix by yourself, or did you need to get someone to reattach them for you?
