Description of Work: Cleaned out a rooftop dryer vent which had clogged. Provider was very professional and did an excellent job. Took about 45 mins to an hour to fully clean the vent system. Did not even have to go on the roof to fully clean the vent. I was happy with the service and would use again. The only slight negative was that the price seemed a little high considering it was a pretty straightforward cleaning that did not require roof access and did not require any repairs. Otherwise, these guys were great and the scheduling was very easy.

Description of Work: The service technician evaluated the situation by crawling under my house and examining the former venting system. It was unwieldy, and was killing my dryer. The tech, Jim, presented a practical plan of action estimate, and after wincing, agreed to it. The job was done professionally and to my satisfaction in a reasonable time frame. I would recommend this man and his company.

Jim was prompt and courteous in returning my call and came at a time convenient to me. He made the repair I requested - replacing the vent hose - and went above and beyond by caulking around the hole where the vent goes through the wall. Our builder had left a gap all the way around it where drafts and bugs could get in. Jim did a thorough job, cleaned up behind himself, and didn't try to oversell me on something I didn't need - my next vent cleaning was not due yet.
Description of Work: Jim provided outstanding service - he replaced my damaged dryer vent hose that our cat had shredded. He also took the time to caulk around the hole in the wall where the vent goes outside - for no additional charge. Jim had previously done the vent cleaning for us about a year before, including repairing the outside vent cover and practically disassembling the dryer to get at all the built up lint. I never saw service like that from a chain store. Jim is prompt, friendly, and very good at what he does. We will definitely be calling him when vent cleaning time comes again.

We were extremely happy with the process from start to finish. Jim was very responsive by phone and email, very pleasant and courteous, and prompt. He took his time to make sure he got the job done right, and answered all my questions along the way. It was a pleasure having him in my home. I will certainly call him again next time I need this service.
Description of Work: Cleaned the dryer vent comprehensively. It vented through the attic and out the roof, so he had to go up on top of the house.

I contacted Jim via email at approximately 11:00pm one day last week requesting a quote on replacing my old white plastic/vinyl flex dryer vent/duct (which is considered a fire hazard) with dryer vent/duct that meets current standards. My old vent/duct also had other issues on top of the material it was made of. 15 minutes after sending my email I got a reply email from Jim! He stated that he would be able to come do a quote a few days later, and that if I was satisfied with the quote he would be able to do the work right then! We agreed on Tuesday with an arrival time between 9:00 and 10:00am. Tuesday arrived, and Jim called at approximately 9:15am. He stated that he was running a little late and would arrive around 10:15. This was not a problem at all for me and I thought it was great that he called and let me know, as it seems most service providers these days don't call if they're going to be late. He showed up at approximately 10:15 and got right to work checking everything out. He listened to everything I had to say, and actually ended up using a suggestion I had made as to a different way to run the duct. I felt my situation was a little unique, and I was afraid he might tell me that he couldn't do it. Jim worked up a quote, explained everything on the quote, and explained what he would do. I felt the quote was a fair price for the work involved, and he got started right away after I gave the OK. Jim had to cut open my wall to do the replacement. He explained before giving the quote that he would have to do this, and let me know that he doesn't do drywall repairs. This was not an issue for me, as I'm having drywall repair being done elsewhere in the house due to a leak and will just have them fix this as well. I'm no dryer vent expert, but the work Jim did looks really good to me. I don't have a dryer at the moment, but have purchased one that will be arriving soon. Jim told me to give him a call when it arrives, and said he would come back and hook it up for me and check the airflow. Jim was very professional, friendly, and courteous and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again in the future!

I have been very, very happy with this service. I am not sure of the date of work with our family's life being disorganized and procrastination. Unbelievably we had problems for probably two years with the clothes not drying to the extent that we probably needlessly bought another dryer. Shortly after that a handyman neighbor cleared it out and propped up the venting and it worked for while, but then it reverted back. We then brought in someone off Angie's list and he worked really hard, was nice and professional. This cost us about $375. The work seemed hard for him and he wasn't really adept. He left after he thoroughly cleaned out the vent but acknowledged that the speed of the airflow was very low. He attributed this to the lengthy venting required. It was better for a while, but then became bad. We called this company off Angie's list and I explained the problem and my low expectations that we would just have to live with slow drying and very frequent cleaning of the venting. I saw him look at me in a very respectful way but a clear thought that I just had no idea what I was talking about. I thought to myself okay you'll see. He told me what needed to be done with the expectation of the results and I said go ahead. He fixed it so that the airflow was what it should be. He was right. After not having an efficient dryer for years it has been an emotional high not to have the constant irritation of checking the clothes two or three times and to just forget about it after you put it in. The first guy off the list was really nice and it is hard to write a negative comment when someone is genuinely nice and tries hard. We lost track of who he was since we looked through so many before choosing one off the list. I apologize for this because the only way this list can work is for honest accurate feedback. I put down fair price for this company and it clearly was worth every penny, but I would gladly pay a lot more for the elimination of constant irritation we experienced for years.

Jim stopped by and gave us an estimate in which he explained that it would cost about $90 more to have a whole new installation as opposed to cleaning the existing vent and redoing parts of the vent that weren't up to code. I agreed to the new install and we are extremely satisfied with the results. The drying time for our clothes is now a fraction of what it was before. Jim did a great job and tested everything out before he left. He takes pride in his work and I would recommend him to anyone looking to clean or upgrade their existing dryer vent. This was money well spent as we will save LOTS of money on our electric bills in the future!
Description of Work: New dryer vent and vent cover installed (23 feet). Jim removed our 28 year old dryer vent and installed a brand new UL rated dryer vent and a new vent cover for the outside. Install took about 4 hours.

I don't remember how much I spent for the work. They did not install the standard aluminum snake that people use for dryer vents. They were very punctual. He called when he was a certain amount of time away from the house. He was very professional and handled the job well. He explained everything that they were doing and explained the ins and outs of everything instead of just coming in and doing the work. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Dryer Vent Wizard continued the aluminum hard duct from underneath our house to the back of the dryer. They cleaned out the duct. They also installed on the outside a dryer vent with plastic flaps to prevent birds and such from getting in. The flaps come up when the dryer is on, but they go back down when the dryer is off.

Jim is extremely professional and courteous. He first came here to give me an estimate and explained what needed to be done. He came back another day with his assistant and they worked very carefully for several hours to create a new ventilation system in my home for my dryer vent. They were very neat and professional and followed up with a phone call later to make sure everything was working properly and to please contact them with any questions. Jim really cares about doing the best job and giving his clients the best service. He is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him!

Jim and his crew were on time. I had requested an estimate and they were right on target. Jim explained everything they were going to do, in detail, so there were no surprises. He came prepared to do the work so I didn't have to wait to get another appointment. Although they ran into several problems, they "stuck with it" and completed the jpb. When they were finished everything was put into order and clean.
Description of Work: The company installed a new dryer vent from the dryer to the exterior of our home. The one we replaced was the incorrect kind for the dryer. They installed a rigid dryer vent from the dryer through a wall , down to the exterior and out through beneath the deck.

We were impressed with the range or services available to anyone conserned with dryer venting. While more comprehensive services at a higher fee were offered, there was not attempt to sell the additional services.
Description of Work: I was able to schedule a prompt home visit from Dryer Vent Wizard by calling their 800 number within a week of the call and at hours convenitent to my wife. The cost of a home visit is $35.00 which is then applied to any charges incurrent during the visit. After ascertaining that there was no blockage of the vent pipe external to our home. an adaptor was installed between the dryer flow hose and the in wall vent to the outsider. This shortened the route to the outside and in the process improved air flow and consequently the drying time.My wife was very reassured by the assurance provided her.

Jim showed up on time and stayed until the job was done. Took him a few hours. He took care of everything (neat and very professional -- and very nice). He did an excellent job. Highly recommend Jim at Dryer Vent Wizard. And just FYI - what was taking hours to dry now takes minutes! Sure we got a new dryer too and that's part of it; but Jim's efforts really added to our electrical savings -- and our safety.
Description of Work: We had to replace the entire vent system from the dryer to the outside. Sounds simple but the vent system was in the floor because laundry room does not have an outside wall. We didn't think we could do this ourselves; and we didn't want to try.

He was a little bit late for the scheduled time, but he called early enough for me to work around the delay. Jim was very nice, explained exactly what would be done, and ensured that everything was done the way I expected. Removal of the old vent and installation of the new vent took about four hours.
Description of Work: Jim removed the old, flexible vinyl dryer vent and replaced it with a permanent aluminum vent. The dryer is 15 feet from the outside wall of the house, so the standard flexible aluminum vents (usually about 8 feet long) found at hardware stores are not an option. The new vent should reduce the risk of fire and improve the efficiency of our dryer.
