Dryer Vent Cleaning, Air Duct Cleaning

About us

Call 704-886-7078 to schedule an appointment. Calls are routed to our national franchise Scheduling Center while we are on the job for faster scheduling. Our Scheduling Center is available from 8:30 AM Mon-Fri and until 2:00 PM on Saturdays. Dryer Vent Wizard was established in 2004 to meet the needs of a very serious problem that is often overlooked by most people. Dryer fires are one of the leading causes of home fires today. We work exclusively with, and specialize in dryer vents alone. A $49 service/ inspection fee is charged to each job. Post inspection a written proposal is given to the customer, along with any suggestions of improvements, and the work is performed at that time. Clogged dryer vents cause dryers to operate inefficiently wasting time and hundreds of dollars a year in energy bills for the average household. We work hard to keep our services reliable and affordable. Our professionals will come to your home on a scheduled day. You can relax knowing that they've undergone extensive training, a background check, and are fully insured. We value our customers and would love you to refer us to your friends and family. (!!!We are not associated or affiliated with Dryer Vent Wizard of Uptown and South Charlotte!!! For service in Uptown, Myers Park, Dilworth, South End, NoDa, Plaza-Midwood, South Park, Carmel Rd/ Quail Hollow & Arboretum visit franchise owner Steve Jennings at: www.southcharlottedryervent.com for service in these areas)

The service professional was running a couple of minutes late but he called and stated he was in traffic which was very professional (I believe he was only 10 minutes late). He looked at everything, gave me different options and did not pressure me into anything. It took about an hour for him to do all the work. Dave was very professional from start to finish. I would recommend them.

Added hangers to secure the pipe in place so it did not disconnect. The pipe goes through the attic & if it came apart the lint would get into the attic space.
Description of Work: Dryer vent had a lot of lint. It was shooting out of the vent to the outside. It was 3 yrs. since it was cleaned & Dryer Vent Wizard cleaned the long pipe.

Michael Lavalle was very punctual, pleasant and professional. He explained what he recommended doing and why and provided the cost up front. I think the prices are high for the services performed, but researching other companies, they seemed to be in line, especially with being a franchise. The work completed was great and certainly met or exceeded my expectations. Michael was thorough and cleaned up when the service was completed. He's also a very nice young man. I would definitely use this company again.

I had a great experience all around with Dryer Vent Wizard, from my first contact with Dave Lavalle, owner, to completing the repair with David Newton, service technician. The response was prompt and professional. David Newton was highly skilled and great at assessing the problem. I knew there was trouble with my dryer vent because, when in use on a cold day, there was no sign that air was coming out of the outdoor vent exit. The dryer is in an interior room and the venting crosses the whole living room to go outside. I knew holes would have to be cut in the living room ceiling to repair the dryer vent. It happened that I had a leak from an upstairs bathroom and was already in the process of repairing a big hole in the living room ceiling caused by the leak and would be repainting the ceiling. The silver lining is that the existing hole gave us a view of the dryer vent ducting to see where it was disconnected. David and I put our heads up in the ceiling and could see where the duct had to be replaced. The project required cutting three holes to get to key areas, replacing several feet of dryer vent line with metal code compliant ducting, cleaning the existing line that didn?t have to be replaced (fortunately some sections were metal, but the curved sections had dangerous plastic ducting that had disconnected, so lint was blowing freely into the ceiling area). With David?s trouble shooting skills, he was able to actually minimize the damage to the ceiling and connect the new venting in very difficult to reach areas. The testing of the airflow outside was very good after the new ducting was in place. I am VERY relieved to have a code compliant, working dryer vent. David Newton was a pleasure to work with and I felt the price for the job was reasonable for the complexity of the project.
Description of Work: New dryer vent ducting was installed. Holes had to be cut in ceiling to access and replace some sections with metal transition ducting, making connection with existing metal sections, to bring to code and create working venting from dryer, located in laundry room in interior area of home, across living room in ceiling, to outdoor vent. Existing dryer vent line was cleaned and air flow tested at outdoor exit vent. Outdoor vent cover replaced.

I would say that the customer service was the best part. The price seemed a little high but good customer service and they gave me some tips. There was something I wanted to do myself, so they gave me the part number for some piping work and that was helpful.

Excellent service by technician, David Newton. He explained everything and showed me pictures taken from roof reading, replaced pipe and hoses. He explained all the charges before doing anything. It was a wonderful experience and could not have asked for better. Highly recommend this service and David.
Description of Work: Cleaned dryer vent from rooftop, from tube inside the house, cleaned the vent inside the dryer, replaced the tube that ran from the dryer to the wall, and replaced both hot/cold hoses from washer. He noticed I had the improper dryer tube installed - foil version, which dryer had warning label on back not to use. He also noticed that the water hoses were close to 10 years old and were looking worn.

Michael was prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable. He walked us through everything he did. He suggested a total different venting route than the one that was already in the home. His idea made much better sense! While he was there, we discussed getting steel braided hoses for the washer, so we ended up doing that too.

In addition to above...I also bought the service contract from them. Piece of mind is a wonderful thing...No problems at all. Very efficient worker, cleaned up any dirt that was made. Was working on the project about an hour. Absolutley would/will use them again...Airflow at the outside vent was 8.9 MPH when the tech got there. It was 19.6 MPH when he left. Obviousley work needed to be done. Dryer now works half as hard for half the time....WELL DONE!!!!
Description of Work: Cleaned lint filter area of dryer and dryer vent from the dryer to the outside wall....about 20 ft...replaced dryer connection to wall, making it a much more efficient connection. (I was watching the work being performed and agreed with the technician, David Newton, that the connection needed to be replaced and made more efficient.) Replaced rubber hoses to the washer with steel braided hoses. (I also agreed that this change was necessary just for safety's sake.)
