My experience went good. He was knowledgeable and he took care of it. I was amazed at how much better the dryer worked once he got it taken care of. I was very pleased with him and his price was fair. He was good at his job and was personable.

Overall the work was very professional and forthright. Email me if you have any doubts or questions
Description of Work: We have not had our drier vent cleaned since we have lived in the house and that is about 15 years. It was in dire need of cleaning. After seeing this company discussed on the evening news I checked Angie's List and found that it was reputable. I was certainly impressed by the service they provided and plan on having them out for a cleaning every year. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to protect their home from the fire hazard of a clogged drier vent.

Fabulous, I recommend highly.
Description of Work: I had a clogged, not up to code dryer vent, which was a definite fire hazard. The technician helped determine what was needed to install a new dryer vent and even used existing materials to craft an exhaust vent that custom fit my exterior vent from my house. He was on time, pleasant and did a great job. My dryer is working great and I no longer have to worry about a fire. I recommend them highly. Five stars!!!

Technician was on time, called in advance, gave me an honest review of my vent saying it needed no cleaning as it was clean. Noticed that washer hoses needed replacement with wire wrapped hoses and performed the job immediately on my approval.
Description of Work: Yesterday I had my dry vent inspected to ensure that it wasn't a potential fire hazard. I used a company from Angie's list, Dryervent Wizard. I was very pleased with the service I received! Several years ago we repositioned our vent from the original "up the wall, under the roof and out" style to one that vented immediately through the wall. The technician, Jason, indicated that this repositioning was excellent, that my vent was clean and needed no service, unlike the ones that have multiple bends or defy gravity. What he did advise was the need to replace rubber hoses from my washer to ones that are metal wrapped. Those rubber hoses have a shelf life of approximately 5 years and even have a replacement date stamped on them. I had no idea! You might want to check on your hoses. So, if you want an honest service for your dryer vent cleaning and repair, Dryervent Wizard may be the solution. The number is 916 519-4569 . I am very pleased with the service. Jason, the technician, was very honest!

(Member name removed), Thank you for the wonderful review. As an owner I am not in the field with my technicians and trust they are being honest and providing outstanding service! Knowing that Jason is still out there providing the same service he has been providing since he has been with dryer vent wizard is great news! He is one of the best employees I have ever had the pleasure of employing. I will let him read this review, I am sure he will be ecstatic! Thank you again

The service mostly went okay. We had a problem with them cutting through the water line, but they called to have this fixed. We are still trying to have some small things fixed with this problem but Dryer Vent Wizard has been very good at getting this resolved.
Description of Work: They cleaned out the dryer vent for us. Our vent lets out at the opposite side of the house as the dryer which made the job a little more difficult. They price also includes them coming out a second time which was an option we chose.

We just moved into our house in March, and I already knew the dryer vent needed cleaning very badly. We already blew out one dryer before we realized what was going on. Our laundry area is in the middle of the house and goes up to the roof, so we knew it was going to be a little more expensive. Jason came to give us an estimate in August, and what I thought was just a cleaning turned out that the connection from the wall through the attic was just a mickey-moused flexible hose that was no longer in code since the 80's (or something like that). So to replace all that with 7 feet of steel vent was going to be $250, and then $100 for the vent cleaning within the wall. We couldn't afford the steel vent installation, so we called him back a month later. Jason was amazing. He was very courteous; quietly went about his work. Got there within the time allotted. Explained EVERYTHING afterward. Showed us the old vent hose and the new steel vent. The old vent hose was CLOGGED with lint, which is why it's such a fire hazard. The lint just sticks in there. I joined up with their maintenance service, and I will be calling them again in a year to get the regular maintenance. (This is our first house we've purchased, so I was very excited to have our first home improvement and have such a great experience). Will recommend these people to friends and family, and use them annually for regular service. Thank you!! ~ Marie

The technician from Dryer Vent performed an inspection whose results confirmed my dryer repair technicians assessment. He also talked about standard problems and resolutions. I received an estimate for the repairs, and the total time on site was approximately 90 minutes. The technician was great as he answered my questions about the entire process. My dryer works more efficiently now. Although the price was a little steep in my estimation, the service was worthwhile and I would recommend them to anyone.

While it is difficult to actually tell how badly the vent was in need of cleaning, I was interested in avoiding any worries about a dryer vent fire. The home was built in 1974 and I have only been able to clean the top 5 feet since the vent goes up 10 feet through my roof. It is a Streng, single story home with no attic for access. The Tech did a airflow test upon arrival and said it was around 8 vs. the 15-20 that it should be. I hadn't noticed that it was taking longer to dry clothes but, like anything you do all the time, the slow down can escape notice. The tech was on time , professionally dressed, well spoken and knowledgable. His explianed what he would do and what to exp[ect afterwards along with a correct timetable for the work. After checking out my setup from the dryer room and the roof , he attached a vacuum to the interior, vent opening and , from the roof brrushed dowward to remove all the buildup. Took about hour from arriavl to finish and no mess. gave me some tips, after offering a lefetime srevice contract in a proffessional manner, low key, about what steps to take to keep my vent clean ongoing.Much appreciated. Job well done and I would recommend the company.

A serviceman came out the same day I called. He was an hour early, but called ahead to see if I was available. His outfit was a little peculiar for the work - he was in a white shirt and trousers instead of jeans and a polo shirt, but he was knowledgeable and went right to work. He asked me to make a couple of decisions and then managed to install a superior venting material even though the space was so tight it required additional effort on his part. The new venting material is fireproof and I have an unexpected bonus - confidence that my dryer will not burn down my house. I got my money's worth with this firm.

This was a pleasant experience. I received a quote over the phone but was told up front the price could vary a little depending on the nature of the work. My dryer vents through the roof and thus was a little more expensive. When the technician arrived--on time (4 hour window, he arrived near the beginning of the window)--we discussed additional work he could do besides cleaning the dryer vent, and I agreed to having the dryer vacuumed out and my old dry vent hose replaced. He estimated the work would take about 2.5 hours total and he was done in about 2 hours. He was diligent about keeping me informed as to what he was doing. He did air-flow readings before (4 mph) and after (23 mph) the cleaning and explained various things I could do to keep my dryer and washer functioning. Surprisingly, he did not recommend annual cleaning, stating I'd need to have it done again in about five years.
Description of Work: The technician cleaned a roof-venting dryer vent, replaced an old dryer vent hose with a newer flexible metal one, and vacuumed out the dryer inside (without opening the dryer).

The airflow was 6 mph when they started and after they started it was about 23 mph. The service was good.
Description of Work: They replaced an outside vent on a garage. They cleaned out the vent as well. They put in some new washers for the new stainless steel hoses as well. Instead of using a flexible vent pipe they actually connected the dryer straight up to the pipe.

I appreciated how the technician was professional, clean, made sure he didn't get any dirt in my home, and focused on educating me on preventing a dryer fire. He even showed me how the huge amount of built-up lint in the dryer showed signs of being burnt/singed, a critical warning that a dryer could have happened at any time. This service likely prevented a fire in my home! The price seemed a little steep, even after discounting a $10 Angies List discount, but the quality does appear very good. Excellent company.
Description of Work: Cleaned massive amounts of lint out of my dryer, cleaned and shortened the vent that connects the dryer to the floor of laundry room, constructed tubing from the floor of landry room to home exterior, installed vent on home exterior. Spent about 2.5 hours educating me and performing work, including going underneath the sub-floor of the home.

Everything went great! We called late in the afternoon and got an appointment for today. They arrived within the time frame they said. The repairman, Joseph, was neat and pleasant. He explained our unique problem and cleared up our vent. We were in a hazardous situation and he helped us out. We really appreciate this wonderful service. We confidently recommend them.

Overall, they did a good job. They were responsive, functional, and professional. The reason that I will not use them again and can not recommend them is their high price. They charged over $300 for cleaning my vents! I Googled other services and other vendors started overed vent cleaning as low at $75. Even if you look at the pricing on Angie's list, their pricing ranged fro $69 to $300. If their pricing was more competitive and reasonable I would have given them an A for their service. Unfortunately, their high prices just doesn't warrant it and left a bad taste for the experience. It also made me very mad when I saw the wide range of prices the charged for other customers and when I complained they deducted a mere $19. What this experience has taught me is not to blindly go with Angie's list recommendation. Call around and get quotes from other vendors before having any work done. Also do a Google check; Angie's list is not the end all.

Sorry you had a bad experience with our company. You had a long vent and the technician explained everything to you in detail as to why your pricing was higher then most. He went over the whole proposal with you which you agreed and understood and signed off. The other companies you are referring to for $75 I'm not sure as to what company charges so low. We provide quality service guarantee our work and do not cut corners. In some cases prices may be higher then others but I assure you we provided a valued service for your situation. We have won the Super Service Angie's list award for two years now due to the exceptional service we provide and go the extra mile to assure the entire venting system is inspected and serviced according to NFPA, Underwriters Laboratory, and Dryer Vent Wizard standards. I advise anyone if you are not comfortable with the price after the technician goes over the estimate please turn down the job. We never want our customers to feel uncomfortable about our company and or have a bad taste in their mouth as you stated. Although the price was more then what you expected I hope we have solved your problem. Respectfully, Owner
