Award winning. My name is Jimmy Spero and I am the owner of JNJ Dryer Vent Cleaning. I am married with 3 children and clean dryer vents on my days off from my full-time career, a firefighter for a local municipality. JNJ was started in 2005 as a way to make some extra spending money as has quickly become a great small business. Most people never think to get their dryer vent cleaned until they see me wearing a T-Shirt or see an advertisement on my vehicle/trailer and then we begin to talk. I give them some facts on the hazards of dirty dryer vents and it doesn't take long before I am scheduling their vent to be cleaned. I have cleaned thousands of vents over the last 7 years and have never had an unhappy customer. You can look on my FACEBOOK PAGE or Angie's List to see the great things being said about JNJ. 100% of the work completed by JNJ is done by local firefighters that i work with or I am friends with. I believe in keeping the work within the family and that is what we have done. 100% Owned and Operated by local Firefighters. Only $55 for our Dryer Vent Cleaning service with no hidden charges. Our Brush and Vacuum system removes all the lint from you vent and we also inspect the vent hood on the exterior of the house as well as your transition duct. Any recommendations will be presented to you with no obligation to purchase anything. Cost is determined by the job.

We e-mailed JNJ to inquire about having our dryer vent cleaned. He quickly responded and we set up a date and time. Arrived on time, cleaned our vent as discussed. Friendly, professional, made some suggestions about how often the service should be performed in the future (less frequently than we expected). Price was right on. We plan to use again.

Really nice guy....but. The original appointment was to clean my dryer duct, but he found the duct to be clogged and suggested it be replaced. We made an appointment to replace the duct the following week. In the mean time he was to email me a quote. The day before the planned apointment, I called to confirm his visit, leaving a messdage. My call was not returned. I also had not received the email regarding the quote. The day of the appointment, I again called to confirm his visit, this time making contact. During our conversation, I had to remind him of who I was and of my address. At this point I decided I should not carry forward any longer and move on to someone else. Again a very nice guy, but his lack organization and care concerned me.

Very positive experience from first contact on telephone to alerting us to his arrival through to completion of job. Even wore "booties" when inside the house to protect carpet and floor.
Description of Work: I have a second floor dryer which was long overdue for a cleaning. Mr. Spero was very professional, personable, proficient, and punctual (please excuse the alliteration, but these are the adjectives that come readily to my mind when describing Mr. Spero and his services). He does a thorough job, but because he is efficient it doesn't take long, and the fact that he is a professional firefighter gives you an added peace of mind that the fire risk has been eliminated.

I called Jimmy for an estimate on Monday, he came down Wed, and serviced our dryer vent efficiently. Very professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Made recommendations based on the age of our dryer and the amount of lint (a lot!). I'm very pleased and will absolutely use his services again.

The overall experience was very positive.
Description of Work: Jimmy cleaned our dryer vent. I asked him to check to see if the vent needed to be replaced. He said that the vent wasn't perfect but that he would not recommend replacing it unless it fails. He was running a little late, but called and let us know. I appreciated the call and his professionalism. Will definitely use his service in the future.

When my dryer started exhibiting poor performance, I was a little baffled at first; when I bought this home only a few months ago, the home inspector noted the clogged vent, but the seller supposedly had it cleaned. Whoever did the cleaning must not have had the proper tools for the job, because only a few months later my dryer performance practically came to a halt. So I contacted Jimmy who was able to come out the next day; I really appreciated that he was able to take care of the vent on such short notice. Just as we suspected, there was an inordinate amount of lint to be removed and it had not been properly cleaned during the home sale as suspected. Results are great, much faster and energy efficient drying times. I'm very happy with the results and will be using Jimmy's service when it's time to clean them again.

Jimmy arrived on time and cleaned our dryer vent from the inside and outside of our home with his own tools. He explained what he was doing and why and gave me honest feedback at the end of the process even though it meant less work for him in the future. He was also significantly less expensive than the competition.
Description of Work: An industrial-type vacuum was hooked up to the dryer vent inside our home and turned on. Jimmy then placed a ladder at the back of the home in order to reach the exit of our vent and inserted a brush into the vent from that end. He pushed it up until it reached the laundry room, removed it and the dryer vent. Checked to see it was clean and nothing ripped along the way, reconnected our vent to the dryer and vacuumed inside our home where dust has spilled out.

Jimmy came at the agreed time and thoroughly cleaned out the dryer vent in a timely manner. Glad we didn't wait any longer to do this. There was a large amount of dryer lent build up in the tube going outdoors. It's nice and clean now, though, thanks to Jimmy!

The owner came out to my house and noticed upon inspection that the dryer vent which exits the house on the second story was clogged. He removed the cover which had lint built up on it and used a vacuum to blow out any excess built up in the tubbing. This fixed the problem and since he didn't have to brush out the tubbing, he reduced his price from the original quote. The dryer works great now with no problems. I really appreciate that the owner tried to solve the problem for the least cost without trying to up-sell his services. He was very polite and responded to my calls the same day. He does work a full time job with the fire department, so he returned my calls in the evenings and we scheduled a time to clean the vent that did not conflict with his full time job. Even so, he was able to come out to the house within the same week of my phone call. I highly recommend JNJ Dryer Vent Cleaning because I feel like I received quality service for a very good price.

Jimmy did a fantastic job. We have a dryer on the second floor of our home. He mainly used a long brush and a vacuum cleaner to suck all the lint out of our dryer vent. He also has a high speed blower, but we didn't need that for our vent. Jimmy suggested some changes that we could make to the flexible tube that connects the dryer to the wall (the circular metal clamps on ours are actually slightly too big). I just did my first load of laundry and the dryer is so much faster now. THANK YOU, JIMMY!!!

Jimmy was very prompt in scheduling an appointment to come out and clean my dryer vent. After inspecting it, he informed us that not only was our current duct work not up to code (white plastic flex tube), but it was disconnected and all our dryer lint was blowing right into our crawl space onto our gas furnace! Major fire hazard! He was able to come back the next day and replace all the old duct work with new rigid metal duct work secured to the floor joists. He even cleaned up the lint in our crawl space and on our furnace! Jimmy was a very polite, professional, and considerate guy! He also offers probably the best prices in town. I'd HIGHLY recommend him to anyone and will definitely be using him again in the future for our dryer vent cleanings!

A dirty dryer venting system is something that happens so gradually that you don't actively notice the change. My mother came to stay at my house while I was helping my dad recover from surgery and she asked for permission to get the dryer repaired. I told her I was pretty sure it was the vent. It's a second floor dryer in the center of the house and the vent is downstairs and outside. And after seventeen years of being here I didn't think that I was getting that much improvement by going to the vent outlet on the back deck and cleaning it out. I gave my mom JNJ's information, based on what I read here and she called. I didn't hear anything further about the problem. The bill has another name on it, but she says that she called JNJ so that's who I'm reviewing. I'm relying on her retelling, that he was pleasant and professional. She says that the process took about two hours. What I know is that a load of towels is dry in less than an hour where I used to simply run them overnight. In addition to the time savings I expect that there's going to be a major cost savings and of course there's less fire hazard. This seems like a wonderful experience over all, escpecially since my mom and JNJ took care of everything, I just came home to a wonderully improved laundry experience!

Thank you for the great review but I do not believe it was me that cleaned your vent because my charges are only between $45 & $55 total and also all my invoices have JNJ dryer vent cleaning on them. I would love to help you in the future whenever you need your vent cleaned again and you can save about $75. Thanks Jimmy Spero - Owner 919-228-VENT(8368)

Jimmy Spero is a professional firefighter and understand the hazards of dryer vents filled with lint. He quickly responded to my phone call and promptly scheduled a visit, stating the cost up front. When he arrived, he went straight to work and removed a large amount of lint which was blocking the free flow of air. He also, kindly, removed a wasp nest and mud dauber nests in an adjacent exhaust vent and told me how to prevent that from reoccurring. How great is that! He is a good and decent man who regularly puts his life on the line as a firefighter. I strongly urge you to support his business. You will be very pleased.

Outstanding job. So glad I found Jimmy with JNJ. He only cleans dryer vents. He's a full time firefighter. His price is fixed. He does a great job and is very professional. What more could you ask for ? The danger of clogged dryer vents is not over stated. Friends of ours had a very bad home fire that started with a clogged dryer. I highly recommend having your dryer vent cleaned by JNJ.

Description of Work: Jimmy was early which was great for us. He did the job in a timely manner. We were very pleased. We had been in the house 2 1/2 years and were doing more drying. We needed to be cleaned. He found that the vent had not been connected properly. He replaced it with a better vent cover.We would call him back. We enjoyed talking to Jimmy about his garden.

The owner (Jimmy) does the work himself. He arrived on time and was very professional. So pleased that we asked if he schedules in advance and we?re now signed up to have him come every 2 years. FYI, Jimmy is a full time fireman. I like dealing with firefighters ? I have never been disappointed in the service from a fireman that has been on the job for more than a few years. Jimmy is no exception. However, there is a trade off ? a fireman might not get his day off if there is a major fire that starts when they are on duty. I run a very small risk a fireman will not show when scheduled but I think it?s worth the risk in my view. (BTW, Jimmy was the first to mention this up front. Shows you his customer service orientation!) Also, Jimmy may not be able to answer the phone when you call ? but he always called me back promptly. My vents were long overdue for cleaning and Jimmy probably had to spend extra time. He did not complain and stuck with his original quote. Exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.

My home was built in 1983 when they were using the white plastic/vinyl flex dryer ducts which are now considered fire hazards. I had some other issues with mine in addition to the material it was made of. I contacted Jimmy via email about replacing my dryer duct with the rigid metal vent that is up to code. He replied the following day and stated he would come take a look at it. He asked for contact information and what area of town I was located in. I replied about a half hour later with my work and cell phone numbers and which area of town as he requested. I never received any reply from him after that. I called him the following week and received his voicemail. I left a voicemail message letting him know I was still interested in him coming to check out my dryer vent and again gave him my cell, work, and home phone numbers. I let Jimmy know in my voicemail that I'd like to get it done in the near future if possible. I was having other work done on my house and really wanted to get it all done at the same time if possible rather than get one thing all taken care of/fixed/cleaned up, and then get the house torn up again for something else. I waited approximately 1 week and still got absolutely no reply from him, so went with someone else. It would have been nice if Jimmy would have made a quick call or sent a quick email and let me know that there would be a delay or that he wouldn't be able do it.

He was on time and knew exactly what to do. He had a new technology which I had not seen before. That was very cool. He did a very good job. The pricing was awesome. The guy is a fireman and he does this job during his days off. He was very knowledgeable.
