Services we offer

Proper dryer vent cleaning and installation are critical to ensure that your family is safe and that your clothes dry correctly. Venting your clothes dryer to the outside is a building code requirement. Improper dryer vent installation and the use of inferior materials will result in damage to your home through moisture and sometimes even worse a fire. Clothes dryers that are not vented to the outside of the home will create a mess of lint and excess moisture in the air you breathe.

Services we don't offer

We do not repair washers or dryers or clean air ducts.

We were living with very unsafe conditions with a 30 year old white vinyl dryer flex hose installed when we added an addition on the back of our home. Upon inspection, Harold said this is no longer used and is actually illegal and unsafe to use. He replaced it with a rigid pipe with everything meeting code. He had to climb through an old cellar window to enter a crawl space to work on replacing old flex hose. Harold was very courteous and professional. What impressed me the most was that his original estimate was $600 but he said after getting under the addition he saw that the insulation that he thought he would have to install was already put there by the builder saving me $100. I would have never known that, but because of Harold's honesty it saved me $100. I recommend him very highly.

Harold arrived promptly and started by inspecting the dryer and indoor connection.He gave us several tips on maintaining the dryer and then went outside.He then power brushed the vent line from outside all the way back to the dryer itself.As I watched him get covered with lint I thought that quite a bit was coming out but Harold said it was pretty clean in his opinion,so much so that he declined to charge for his services! To say I was impressed by his honesty and professionalism would be an understatement.I can whole-heartedly recommend him to be your choice for this service and will call him again when needed.

We moved into a 10 year old house and the first load of laundry we did took forever to dry and you could tell something was very wrong. I considered cleaning the vent myself but it was a second floor laundry room with a very long run of vent from the other side of the house. I wanted it done right so I did some research and My Dryer Vent Guy seems to be an easy choice with all of the great reviews. I called on a Monday and he showed up the next day. I'm happy to now be adding to these great reviews. I literally could not possibly be happier that I made this call. The dryer vent was 10 times worse than I had imagined and i'm confident we would have burned our new home down if we hadn't had this service done. He did an amazing job and he takes the time to teach you about what he is doing. He also takes the time to show you all the tips and tricks to properly maintain your dryer and the dryer vent to extend the time between cleanings. He also thoroughly cleans the dryer not just the dryer vent. It was an entire system clean and inspect. Do yourself the favor and make the call to My Dryer Vent Guy. I literally could not be happier and I'm so glad I didn't attempt this myself because there was a lot more to it than just running a brush up and down the duct. Thank you so much for making my new home safer for my family. You have a new customer for life.

He cleaned a ton of lint out of my dryer and the outside vent. Also replaced my vinyl tubing with metal. Took less than 1/2 hour. Plus he taught me how to scrub my lint trap with water and a brush once a month. My mother hired him to come to her house the next day to do the same to her dryer. He dug a pencil out of hers, along with a ton of lint. We were both very happy with the job he did.

Great. Harold is the best. He is a very knowledgeable and capable professional. He dismantled and thoroughly cleaned the dryer vents and vent hose and then re-installed everything. And cleaned up the mess on the floor! He also showed me how to properly clean and care for the dryer's filter. He is a really nice fellow who also happens to be a real pro. I wouldn't hesitate to have him in my home again anytime.

My dryer vent as it was clearly blocked. Bought a angies list coupon for a low cost cleaning. He came in and with in a few minutes he examined the current system and it became clear to me that my house did not have a good vent system in place which is why it was clogged. We discussed the cost of replacing it and bring it up to code, He offered to apply the cleaning coupon value to the replacement cost of a new installation, and with in 2 hours the whole system was replaced same day. Great work, cleaned up all the mess from the new drilling etc and left with a perfect new vents system at a reasonable price. I would c

Came right on time, very friendly and professional. Found the dryer hookup to the vent was not done properly by previous owners and was not corrected when it was installed. Explanations were clear, easy to follow. Cost after the $99 paid ahead via Angie's list was 62.73 but all is now properly installed, tested and cleaned.

Harold showed up for on time and finished the job in the estimated timeframe and price. He was very professional. He explained all about the impact of back pressure on dryer performance, showed me a huge bag of lint he cleaned out of the vent pipes he re-used, and cleaned up after himself. He closed off the original vent opening to the outside of my house with a metal plate so no rodents could get in. Our dryer works better now. I am very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: Purchased $99 cleaning deal but I knew there may be some additional work. Upon inspection, and seeing all of the elbows and turns, Harold, who is "My Dryer Vent Guy", said he would clean it but he recommended he re-install with minimal turns (elbows). I totally agreed.

I had an issue with the current vent line in my dryer - it ran through the wall so I could not see the issue. It was not performing properly. I called - and he showed up within the hour. He was in the area with another service call and came after that. He gave me estimate and explained different options. It would be cheaper to run it outside the wall so that is the way I went. In a basement I figured why pay more for it to be in the wall. He ran the line from the dryer up and then outside. He replaced the outside vent as well and cleaned the dryer duct work. I was very pleased with his work and will followup with his business for future dryer duct work cleaning.
Description of Work: He replaced a vent from dryer to outside - in the basement - about 6 feet up.

The service went very well. He was pleasant & professional, explained everything he saw and was doing, took the necessary time for the job, and said he would like to come back after the holidays to check on the way it was working. He did come back in January & helped me re-position the dryer & advised me to keep the laundry alcove doors open a little for maximum drying efficiency.

Harold arrived exactly at the promised time and went to work immediately. He checked the vent lines and noted that it was in excellent shape. He then proceeded to extract the lint for the vent lines. Next Harold addressed any lint remaining in the dryer itself. I found Harold to be efficient and friendly and will certainly use hime again next year.

This was a $99 big deal purchase. It was fine. It did not go as expected. It was not the kind of service call or quality that I was hoping to get. He was fine; it was just a little bit hokey. It was not bad. He was a nice fellow and his girlfriend, but he just really didn't know what he was doing. I knew more than he knew.

[removed member's name], Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today on the phone and explain your review. On the review it said it "was not the kind of service call or quality you were hoping to get and "it was a little bit hokey". Thank you for explaining to me during our phone conversation that you told the Angies List customer service agent that took the review over the phone that it was your dryer vent system that is a "little bit hokey" because of the way the original installer installed it and not my service. Thank you for also pointing out to me that the customer service rep inquired about other services you have used on Angies List, and that is what you were referring to when they put in the review "he didn't really know what he was doing, I knew more than him" As you said on the phone to me, if you had a problem with my service you would have called me right after we serviced your vent, which was in June and you would not have waited until December to bring it to my attention. You also mentioned to me that Angies List gave you a free renewal membership because of an issue you had with a pool person that ultimately did not perform the work you had purchased. I am glad they were able to compensate you for your inconvenience. I appreciate your business and your feedback and more importantly I appreciate you taking the time on the phone today to clear this up with me.

The owner Harold and his Sister, his assistant, stopped in on a Monday to evaluate the problem. They informed me that my dryer vent did not meet code and that it was so clogged that it could not be cleaned and that it could be a fire hazard if not repaired. This was verified by the new dryer we had installed less than two weeks before. The new dryer sent out alarms indicating that there was a "AIR FLOW" problem and a "CHECK VENT" alarm indication. They were both very professional and explained exactly what service needed to be done I told Harold that I needed to consult with my wife and that I would call them later with my decision . They did not charge me for the initial visit and consultation, but I new the job had to be done and these were the professionals to do the work. I called them that same evening and they scheduled my service within two days. They were right on time, explained the scope of the job to be preformed and installed our new vent which required a rather lengthy run and going through walls. They showed me a section of the old vent that was removed and I could not believe how clogged it was that air was unable to flow through it. The work was professionally done, the system was checked through-out and I was given instructions, not only on future care but also helped me to better understand the advanced features of our new washer and dryer. Everything was cleaned up after the job that You hardly knew that they were there. Great Job Guys!!!

Everything went just fine. Before, my dryer always had a clean lint warning coming up; now there's no warning in sight. It was a pleasant experience and we were very happy to have met this charming couple.
Description of Work: He inspected the location of our washer/dryer and then estimated the height of our apartment from the ground. The lint alarm was too large to fit into our closet, so instead of putting it in he did not charge anything extra for the height of our place. He was a very nice and polite man, and his wife worked alongside of him.
