It went perfectly. Robbie got in and did the work quickly and professionally. I would recommend Robbie to anybody that needs their vents cleaned.
Description of Work: My dryer was not shutting off after about 10 minutes of working. Robbie was able to figure out that the dryer vent being clogged was the source of the problem. He cleaned the vent and made recommendations on the best way to handle it moving forward.

Response from LINT BUSTERS DRYER VENT CLEANING
Thank you for taking the time to post a response and make a great point! Dirty, linty vents wreak havoc on dryers. They run longer than normal, tell you to "clean the screen" even after you've cleaned it, shut themselves down (it's a protective mode to prevent damage to components) and the list goes on. I typically have 2 customers per week who have blown thermostats or heating elements because the dryer has been working too hard and/or overheating because of lint build up in the vent. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE is the key! By cleaning your dryer vent every periodically it will help extend the life of your dryer. I use the "oil change" story all of the time. If you don't change the oil in your car then the engine will suffer and break down. It's something you have to do from time to time. The same holds true for cleaning the dryer vent. It allows the dryer to breathe and perform efficiently. Thanks for the kind comments!

Response from LINT BUSTERS DRYER VENT CLEANING
Sir, it was my pleasure! Thanks for stating that I was punctual even though I was a bit late. I did contact you on the way to let you know that I was running behind. If I know I'm NOT going to arrive within 15 minutes of the time that I give you then I call to let you know. Thanks for making access to the dryer so convenient for me. That always expedites the process when the laundry area is clear. Then I'm able to pull the dryer away from the wall to access the vent more quickly. Thanks for taking the time to report on Lint Busters! P.S. Remember that dryers that vent to the roof build up lint more quickly if you dry clothes on damp or rainy days!!!

Robert asked all the right questions on the phone before coming to clean our dryer vent. He then arrived right on time--actually a few minutes early. He was professional and expedient, and his work was exemplary. Our dryer's drying time has been cut in half; it's like new again. Robert also gave us valuable tips to keep the vent from clogging this fast again. Highly recommended!

Response from LINT BUSTERS DRYER VENT CLEANING
Thank you, sir. It was a pleasure working with you, as well. Your home was beyond the range of my typical residential service, but you were so pleasant that I felt compelled to get your dryer working! I charged a small trip charge to help offset the cost of fuel. Since a neighbor asked to have his dryer vent cleaned while I was there, I decided to reduce the cost for you even more. Which reminds me of a point that I often forget to make: I offer discounts to homeowners who schedule vent cleaning at the same time as their neighbors! This amount varies depending on the number of homeowners that would like the service. I presently work with property management companies and homeowner associations, offering discounted pricing for multiple dryer vents. A price reduction usually encourages people to be more proactive about maintenance. Thanks again for contacting Lint Busters. Don't hesitate to contact us when you need service again!

Rob was a few minutes early (nice touch) He moved out the dryer and let me clean up what had fallen behind. He got to work (I left the room) He took about 20-30 minutes to complete the job. We discussed lint saving tips We discussed charges and Angie's List discount It was a very good experience.
Description of Work: Rob cleaned out the dryer and air duct flowing from dryer to outside of house. It was full of lint and dog hair. Rob was great - very professional and helpful. He gave me several tips to help delay lint build-up going forward.

Thank you so much. I really like the way you summed up what we did line by line. It looks like bullet points that describe the job that I try to do every time. I do my best to clean up the floor under and around the dryer once the machine is moved. I also give customers the opportunity to clean up anything that they might find a little embarrassing ;-) Remember, just about everyone wears undergarments! No need to be bothered by that. Thank you for taking time from your day to write something so nice about Lint Busters!

Response from LINT BUSTERS DRYER VENT CLEANING
Thank you very much, member. Despite the fact your vent runs to the second story of your home, the access isn't too difficult. I just pull my extension ladder onto the flat roof over the garage and that give me the ability to reach the vent exit. I wish you had reminded me of your affiliation with Angie's List and you certainly would have received your discount! Thank you for taking the time to write a kind review. See you next time your drying time starts slowing down.

I feel like I have a brand new dryer! I have always been diligent about cleaning the lint trap after every load, but I just wasn't ever happy with the way my dryer worked. I don't know why but it never occurred to me that dryer vent cleaning would be the answer to my dryer's poor performance. I've lived in my home for 9 years and never had the vent duct cleaned, and from the looks of the stuff that came out and how solidly packed one section of the pipe was, it's a wonder that I was ever even able to get anything dry. I feel rather foolish that I hadn't had this service performed when I first moved here, but you can bet I'll be doing this every year from now on. I live with 3 dogs and a couple of cats which means that any laundry I do has a fair amount of hair in it. Add to that the sand in Florida houses and normal lint, and it's bound to affect a dryer's performance. I've dried three loads since the vent was cleaned, and they were finished in a fraction of the time it had been taking. Just think of how much I'll save on electricity, not to mention the time wasted waiting for clothes to get dry that were basically just being steamed. Mr. Kates said that a cleaning normally takes about 45 minutes, but my job took more than twice the time. Yet he still charged me the same fee and even gave me a discount because I found him on Angie's list. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and will be sure to recommend his work to others. If it's been a while since you've cleaned your dryer vent that leads to the outside of your home, you're probably wasting time and money like I was. Give Lint Busters a call -- you won't be disappointed.
Description of Work: Using a pressurized vacuum system attached to the dryer vent line that ran up an inside wall and across the attic of my garage to an outside vent, Mr. Kates removed a compacted mass of lint, hair, and a bird's nest' He arrived a little early for the appointment and was polite and thorough.

Response from LINT BUSTERS DRYER VENT CLEANING
Thanks, Member! You are too kind, but your report is really appreciated. From time to time I get a difficult vent to clean. Removing the lint was like moving the rock of Gibraltar, but after time, effort and elbow grease the "muck" finally came out. I think vents that run to the roof may actually be easier to clean than vents that run across the ceiling. It seems like more lint had the opportunity to build up in that 18 or 20 foot horizontal run across the ceiling than is typical in a direct vertical run. Anyway, remember to shake out any clothing that has fur on it before you place it in the washer. This will definitely help reduce clogging in the dryer vent. Your "endorsement" of Lint Busters is truly appreciated. Happy New Year!

Getting the "Big Deal" Angie's List email offer for Lint Busters dryer vent cleaning was perfect timing since I was in the process of searching out a company to do this work. Robbie was friendly, efficient, and prompt, even calling me the morning of my appt to see if he could come ahead of my scheduled time since he was in the area and had a cancellation. Drying time has been greatly improved since he was here. I would definitely recommend this company and will use it again in the future.

Thanks very much, Member. Your dryer vent wasn't too challenging compared to some, but it had plenty of lint in the last few feet of vent close to the roof. It was nice having a closet spacious enough for me to work around the stackable machines! Thanks for purchasing a "big deal." I look forward to seeing you again in a few years. Also, I appreciate you contacting Lint Busters over the others!

It was my pleasure to be of service! I'll offer this information to anyone reading these reviews: Screens in dryer vent exits are bad! While they may keep some critters out of the dryer vent, they also collect lint and create a dead end for the dryer's ventilation. It was unfortunate that your roofer installed a hood with a screen, rather than one with a flap. Now the lint blockage is gone and your dryer will work like new. Thanks for posting the nice comment!

I knew my dryer needed cleaning, but didn't know how to go about it. When I saw the email from Angies List offering a $69 special, I thought it would be a good time to take action. I was concerned that the job might be difficult because we have a stacked washer-dryer in a small closet on the third floor. However, everything went very well and Rob Kates did a great job. I definitely would recommend him to others.

Thanks. My pleasure. I'm glad that Angie's List teamed with me to offer "The Big Deal." It's definitely creating awareness about the need for dryer vent maintenance. With more than 15,000 documented dryer fires annually, it's a shame there isn't more education for the general public. Your dryer was a bit of a challenge to get to on the 3rd floor, but the roof hatch made it easier to access. Your vent had enough lint to slow down the drying time. Should definitely be more efficient now. Thanks so much for taking the time to offer a kind review!

Welcome to Florida! And you start off in your new home with a dirty dryer vent. Too bad your home inspector didn't mention that in the report to the seller. It's maintenance that's supposed to be done at least every few years , but many people aren't even aware! Anyway, there are some very good home inspectors out there and hopefully they are educating the homeowners about dryer vent cleaning, too. It was my pleasure to be of service and I hope everything goes smoothly for you. Remember, you might miss the great Northwest, but you can go to the beach almost year round now! Safe flying. Hope to see you in a few years when the vent gets plugged up again!

Thanks. Great meeting you, as well. I feel that it's important to be punctual, professional and pleasant (thanks for helping with the "3 P's!) for every customer. Your time is important and so is mine. So, if I ever miss a call, please forgive me. I always do my best to return it immediately. Also, if I'm not at your home within 10 minutes of when I say I'm going to be there then I call to let you know when I'll arrive. It's simple courtesy that I wish every company used today. I just try to be the best at what I do. Thanks for taking the time to post the nice comments.

Our dryer wasnt working properly so we started by calling our service provider for appliance repair. They quickly diagnosed the dryer using the paper towel test. There was little or no air suction so they reccomended calling a company that cleans dryer vents (Wish we know about the paper towel test or asked to try over the initial phone call since we are repeat customers but they thanked us for our $130.00 house call contribution anyway). So as always, we consutled Angies list for A rated vent cleaners and found Lint busters. We bought the house 3 years ago and never had the vents cleaned so the service was long over due. I can not compliment enough how professional, sincere, and customer driven Robert was. My wife actually said this was the easiest and nicest service provider she ever dealt with. We called on a late Friday afternoon and they were out on the next morning. Robert even called the next day to ensure our dryer was working properly and to our satisfaction! How many service providers call the next day to ensure the work???? I think this was the first...... Turns out we really needed the vents cleaned anyway, but the appliance repair company was lazy in the initial house call and troubleshooting. We ended up needing a sensor wire repaired on the dryer unit so they came back out anyway to fix (this time on their dime).
Description of Work: The company cleaned the dryer vent from the main area and up through 2nd story roof. (aprox fun of 21 feet)

Response from LINT BUSTERS DRYER VENT CLEANING
Thanks so much. The vent was absolutely plugged up with lint which was probably what contributed to the sensor wire going bad. You brought up a great point: How do I tell if it's the dryer or the vent? Detach the connection from the wall and see if the dryer heats up and is blowing strongly. If you have heat and airflow then the clothes will try efficiently. When the dryer is blowing into a lint filled duct it's basically pushing heat, air and moisture into a dead end. It's why the moisture stays in the drum and takes the clothes longer to dry. Thank you very much for posting the kind remarks and educating people with similar dryer issues! All the best. See you next time the drying time slows down.

I called Lint Busters and they were able to come out that day. I had to reschedule, so he came back this morning. There was a problem with the duct where it had become detached and was blowing right into the dirt in the crawl space. He was able to get to the problem, reattach the duct, and add some supports so it wouldn't happen again in the future.
Description of Work: I got a new washer and dryer, and it took forever for the dryer to work. The store I purchased them from recommended Lint Busters.

Thanks for posting a nice comment on Angie's List! I didn't realize that you were a member! I recall you stating you were referred to me by Famous Tate Appliances, but it's nice to hear you're involved with Angie's List, too. Although cleaning the vent involved getting in the crawlspace under your home the dryer vent connection was only about 6 feet in length. The connection just needed to be lifted away from the dirt beneath your home and given some support. Voila! The dryer works like new again! Sometimes a little adjustment and a little cleaning make all the difference. P.S. Your dogs were great!

There were several same like businesses closer to my Safety Harbor location then Lint Busters Tampa location but because of all the excellent reports I decided to see if they would make the drive to Safety Harbor. They were able to schedule me very quickly and I am very happy I contacted them. They were very punctual and courteous. He started work immediately. It was amazing how much lint was cleaned from the dryer and vent. I can see why it would be considered a fire hazard. I was concerned about the limited space in the laundry room but Robbie was able to work around the cramped space. I am very pleased with the service I received and will pass the word to my neighbors and friends about the importance of maintaining a clean dryer vent and the great work done by Lint Busters.

I can honestly say that's one of the nicest reviews I've ever received, and I am humbled. Thanks to you for taking the time to give me such kind remarks. I'm able to find ways to get access to these vents, no matter how difficult. Your laundry room was spacious compared to some of the situations that I've dealt with! I also thank you for noting that I drove from Tampa to your home in Safety Harbor. I usually cover up to 25 miles from my location before I have to add a trip charge, and I don't usually make it more than $10. Of course, I still offer my Angie's customers a $5 discount. Thanks to all of you who are helping me build such a great reputation for dryer vent cleaning. I hope to have a revamped website full of information soon, too. All the best! Robbie/Lint Busters

Thanks so much for your report! I'm very appreciative that you took the time to help my business. One thing I often forget to tell my customers is that if your home needs dryer vent cleaning then chances are your neighbors do too! My business, outside of Angie's List, is exclusively word of mouth.

Thanks very much for contacting Lint Busters! Your dryer vent was PACKED with lint and took a bit more elbow grease, but we got the job done. It still amazes me to see how much lint gets passed the lint filter in the dryer. I don't have an actual statistic, but I would bet 20% (or more) of the lint makes its way passed the filter during each load. Damp lint traveling a long distance to exit the home is impending doom for your dryer! Some folks should probably clean the vent annually based on the volume of laundry, while others can get by every 2 to 3 years. If you average a load a day then consider cleaning the vent annually to keep the dryer running efficiently. Thanks and I look forward to seeing you next dryer vent cleaning!

First of all, thank you. Second, your vent was so easy to clean because of the short distance that I felt it was only right to charge a service call instead of full price. I'm sorry you replaced the old dryer. I'm sure it would have worked fine once the vent was cleaned! At least now your new dryer gets a clean vent to work with. All the best to you. I very much appreciate you contacting Lint Busters.

Your kind comments are appreciated. Some homes have improvised dryer vents set up from renovations, while others have vents installed in the walls during construction. They both share the same problem when vents run long distances. Eventually, lint will build up and decrease your dryer's efficiency. By performing maintenance periodically, the machine keeps its efficiency and prevents damage to components such as the heating element. Hope this information is helpful! All the best to you, and thanks for using Lint Busters service!

Response from LINT BUSTERS DRYER VENT CLEANING
Thank you for using Lint Busters, and explaining the cost! When dryers are against exterior walls and vent directly to the outside (within a few feet) I charge a service call, $45. If I'm not getting on ladders or roof tops then my price is less than the usual $80 that I charge for a one story home. I definitely believe in being prompt and professional. Your time is important and I realize that. Mine is too and I like to stay on schedule to keep customers happy and insure I can spend time with my family. I'm not the only dryer vent service out there, but I try my absolute best to be the most thorough. Thank you!

Response from LINT BUSTERS DRYER VENT CLEANING
Thanks so much for the kind comments. Screens at the dryer vent exit on the roof are actually a detriment to the dryer. Since the lint screen in the dryer doesn't capture ALL of the lint from the clothing, the remainder of the lint ends up at the next screen (in the hood on the roof!!!) Not all vent hoods have this design issue, but it certainly contributes to lint building up more quickly in the vent. Wet lint traveling vertically will build up over time in a vent even without an obstruction at the exit. I try to tell my customers to use a timed setting, rather than depending on sensor drying modes. This way you can monitor how efficiently the dryer is operating. When it begins to take longer than normal then you know lint is building up! Hope this is helpful to you and anyone else who reads this!

Robbie answered my email in 12 hours, and had the job done the next day. He took off the outside plastic grill that was accumulating all the lint which was closing off the vent. I don't know what the inside of the vent looks like, but the faster drying will confirm it. Fantastic service!
Description of Work: Cleaning of the dryer vent which is probably 30 feet long.

Response from LINT BUSTERS DRYER VENT CLEANING
Thank you for the kind comment. The bird guard on the outside wall of the 2nd story was so full of lint that the flap at the exit could barely open. I removed the guard, broke away a few small branches that were close to the side of your home and snaked out the dryer vent. LOTS of LINT! The connection and even the reservoir where the lint screen sits in the dryer were full of lint too. The dryer has airflow and the drying time is back to a normal range of 35 to 40 minutes. Thanks again for using Lint Busters!
