The OP's first post in 5+ years....hmmmm.

I wouldn't hire someone who can't spell vacuum on their website. They spelled it vacume, so no, it wasn't just a typo. And clearly they didn't waste a moment's effort in engaging a spell checker. On one page they refer to the "gold standard" [sic] and on another page they refer to the "Golden Standard" [sic]. So they can't even standardize the standard.

And no their website states clearly that the home must be BUILT by The Villages. https://lakesumterdryerventcleaning....eriorservices/

THESE PACKAGES ARE EXCLUSIVLY FOR RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN HOMES THAT ARE BUILT BY THE VILLAGES.

If you live in a home that was not built by The Villages, click here.

If you are interested in the Express Package, please review this before booking: click here.
Now, my house was built by a manufactured home company, and was rolled in to The Villages in 1985. So I'd "click here" on the second part. I end up here: https://lakesumterdryerventcleaning....coverage-area/ - they can offer some estimates over the phone. But if they recommend an on-site estimate, here's what they say:

Quote:

Some estimates will require an onsitet visit to assess. We charge a non-refundable minimum of $150 for these in person estimates, but if you approve the estimate, we would apply that towards the deposit for the entire job.
Note the typo in the word "onsite" - again, a spell checker would've caught and corrected that.

If they're too lazy to click a "spell check" button, then I don't want them in my house messing around with my vents.

....

Choose one:
- Vent cleaning company that doesn't employ English majors
- English major who stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night

Also on their website, on a page where you choose which best describes your situation, they write:
I live in a home built by The Villages, located inside a Villages or in a villages built family housing community.
(emphasis added)

So it would be interesting to see whether a manufactured home is considered a non-Villages home when it is located inside a Village.

- Too lazy to run a software-based spellchecker on their text before uploading.
- Too lazy to ask a friend to proof-read for them.

You don't have to be an English major to know how to spell "vacuum." And if your BUSINESS revolves around vacuuming dryer ducts, then it's your JOB to know what you're talking about, and at the very least - know how to spell the word.

I was always interested in ancient history when young, and I wanted to be an arkyolergist, but could never get the spelling right, so I became a bin man instead.:icon_wink:
