He came promptly and showed up right on time like he said. The vent was installed incorrectly so there was a lot more work than anticipated. He did a great job and I was happy with them. They are very knowledgable and pleasant.

EXCELLENT! Dan is TOP-NOTCH!!! He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and clear. He explained our options, and the pros and cons. (Major pro: We can now clean the vent ourselves, which means we won't need his services as often. That's integrity!) He is now our go-to-guy for vent work. When we noticed a small amount of moisture in the old sealed duct in July, he came back, checked the roof vent, and added extra silicone, at no charge.
Description of Work: We initially called to have dryer vent cleaned, and to ask if it should be re-routed from roof exit to wall exit. (Laundry is on upper level.) Once he determined that re-routing the vent was the best long-term solution, he did not charge us for the vent cleaning. He cut a hole in the exterior wall, installed new duct work inside and a new vent hood outside, and sealed the roof vent and interior vent pipe. He explained that we may need to have the roof vent removed and have the hole covered/sealed by a roofer if it leaks, but only time would tell.

Great service. Response was quick and professional. Dan informed us that the flexible pipe that connected our dryer with the vent was no longer considered up to code in the City of Mpls. and explained some of the hazards of this pipe. He offered to replace the flex pipe with a solid aluminum pipe for the same cost as the cleaning. During the replacement he also found the pipe had been secured with duct tape - a fire hazard. He worked quickly, was extremely professional and the service performed was very affordable.
Description of Work: We hired vent guys to clean our dryer vent - we've lived in our home for 8 years without ever cleaning it. Upon arrival, Dan recommended replacing the vent pipe, and offered to do so at the same cost as the cleaning.

The Vent Guys were timely and easy to work with. He showed before and after pictures of the ducts to highlight what had been done. They were knowledgeable and performed their work professionally. When cleaning our dryer vent, he noticed that the dryer was not properly hooked up to the vent system. After describing the problem, he then fixed it using supplies he had with him at no extra charge. This is going above and beyond and shows the great service they offer. I am planning to use them in the future.

We've owned our home for just over 13 years, and I'm ashamed to say the vents have never been cleaned during that time - even the dryer vent. I contacted the Vent Guys through Angie's List and Dan Meyer did an amazing job! He had the very difficult service completed in the estimated time-frame and, because I couldn't be there to see it when he was finished, sent me before and after pictures of some of the vents to show me how the job had gone. He also gave me some excellent advice about having my 41' dryer vent cleaned once a year, and after finding out how much lint he got out of it, I truly believe we were had been pushing our luck with that thing for the past 13 years. I will definitely call Dan again to clean the dryer vent next year and every year after.

We had a coupon through Angie's List to use for a dryer vent cleaning service so I tried Vent Guys as they were very well rated. And with good reason! Dan was responsive and prompt and very friendly. We had a bird stuck in the dryer vent and took care of that as well as replaced the louvers on the outside vent. He made what could have been a big problem, hassle free. I will recommend him to my friends and will use him again in the future!

Dan was professional, courteous and took the time to explain how my dryer was vented through the wall to the outside of the condo, and what might be the cause of the excessive lint on the floor of my laundry room. I couldn't be more pleased with his service and would recommend him to any of my friends in need of this type of service.

Very good. Dan the "Vent Guy" was extremely responsive and fast to schedule an appoint with. He came out and looked at our 30 + yr old dryer and my husband's vent that he put together himself and cleaned it all as well as offering advice on a needed part to prevent further lint build-up. He even offered to find te part for us! Great service, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. I have not had great experiences in the past with Angie's List deals but this one restored my faith.

I called on Thursday 3/27/2013 for an appointment for Friday 3/28/2013. Dan came about 10:30 & explained that my dryer vent was clogged right at the end of the vent. The lint was frozen. I couldn't get through the snowbank to clear it. Dan was very professional & explained what he was doing. He did a great job.

They arrived on time. Noticed that the last company that took the vent piping apart used duct tape instead of the silver tape. Even though it was an extra charge, he put the piping back together using the correct tape.

The whole process went seamlessly.
Description of Work: It's been a few years since my dryer vent has been cleaned and it needed it badly. I checked on Angie's List and first called The Vent Guys because of their rating. Dan answered immediately and was very professional and courteous. He had an opening that same day and we planned on his arriving in about an hour. I could tell right away that he knows his stuff. He explained whatever he had to do before doing it, got to work, and got it done quickly with absolutely nothing to clean up behind him. I will be calling him in the future any time I need my dryer vent cleaned!

Excellent work from initial phone call to payment and clean up at the end. We are thrilled!
Description of Work: The Vent Guys replaced and reattached our dryer vent. It now is a higher quality tubing and is much more securely fastened to the wall and outside vent. They also added a rodent guard on the outside of the house to stop the chipmunks from entering. I am thrilled with their professionalism and work. We will use them again in the future when cleaning is necessary.

I called vent Guys, because I thought something was burning when I used my dryer. It turns out the vent wasn't hooked up to my dryer. I needed a new vent connection. Its a good thing I called, because it could of been a fire. Dan suggested I call a repair man to check out my dryer. I went out & bought a new dryer/

Went very well. Can came out the same day, fixed the problem promptly, and charged a fair price.
Description of Work: Dan arrived within an hour of my initial call. He figured out what was wrong with the dryer vent, fixed it, cleaned it out and installed a new metal vent to replace the old plastic vent (which, unknown to me, was a real fire hazard and not up to current building code). Dryer works like a dream now. Couldn't be happier.

Simply put, Dan is an elegant human being and a genius to boot. I called and described my problem (my clothes were taking two hours to dry ? with a new dryer, no less!) and he appeared several hours later to assess the situation, make a plan and offer an estimate. He actually proposed several alternatives to mitigate my difficulty and I chose the most expensive option. It simply seemed obvious to me that the current setup was suboptimal ? and that shortening the venting system so significantly would greatly improve the dryer's performance. The cost seemed worth the likely payoff even in terms of time saved. Dan returned precisely on time just a few days later with an impressive machine that drilled a significant but tidy hole through the top of my laundry room's cinderblock wall, which enabled him to create an inconspicuous (and properly screened) exhaust outlet at the front of the house. He arranged a short, smart and unobtrusive pathway from my dryer to the new outlet and sealed every joint nicely. He also cleared away many feet of extraneous ducting that had been drooping from my laundry-room ceiling before beginning the long journey to the back of the house and sealed up both ends of that now-obsolete pathway. He cleaned up perfectly and announced that the price would be $50 under the estimate because the job turned out to be somewhat simpler than expected. I don't know what can be simple about drilling through a brick wall, but I'm immensely grateful that tradesmen like Dan exist. He's honest, polite, meticulous, speedy and wonderfully adept at his work. Thanks to his skill, my clothes are now drying at lightning speed ? half an hour at medium heat, if you can believe it! Though some might say I'll recapture my investment after a year's worth of laundry, I think it's more accurate to say that I've already recovered it in the form of that precious currency called peace of mind. Hire this guy. He's the best.
Description of Work: Dan (the No. 1 Vent Guy) performed a service I'd long wished for but didn't think was possible: He rerouted the ducting from my dryer, which previously traveled 40 horizontal feet through the basement ceiling to an exhaust outlet behind my house, so that it now rises about 7 feet to a new exhaust outlet at the *front* of my house. This was a much-needed change.

I had a birds nest in the dryer vent exiting from the house and it was too far inside to remove it all. I was concerned about problems this could cause when I used the dryer. I called at 8:30AM and they came at 2PM that same day....in pouring rain. They removed the nest but even more important, they found lots of lint backed up. I have only lived in this house 18 months and that vent was suppose to have been cleaned after a home inspection before moving in. Obviously, they only cleaned what you could see..not good. I will definitely use Vent Guys again...and get the vents cleaned on a regular basis.

Service person was prompt in replying and setting appointment; arrived on time--checked the dryer and connections first then went outside to perform the dryer vent cleaning. It was handled quickly and efficiently. We were advised of the rate at which the air was coming out of the vent for both before and after the service. We also got some advice on screens or caps that will keep critters out of our vents. He emailed my receipt, which I prefer. He also returned a week later to install the "critter screen caps" on 2 vents. We would definitely hire this company again.
