We originally had Dryer Vent Wizard to our home hoping we could reroute our existing dryer vent and move the location on the wall so we could stack our washer and dryer. However, after consulting, he thought the duct work was okay the way it was. He brought me outside to check the airflow and there was very little indicating a lot of lint/debris in the line. We had him change how the dryer was hooked up, clean the duct work, and replace the outside vent to prevent the accumulation of lint. Our dryer works much better now!!! We plan on having the Dryer Vent Wizard Back when we are ready to stack the washer and dryer but will need a contractor first to move plumbing and do some other work including taking out drywall. He recommended some really good solutions including recessing the hookups in the wall so we can get a tighter fit to the wall once they are stacked. He was very professional, on time and a pleasure to work with.

They did a good job. I found them to be prompt, and very professional. I felt their price was a little more than what I wanted to pay, but he did provide a good clean service. He took the time to explain details and the work he performed. It made me understand what I was paying for and the extent of his work. I will continue to use this company in the future.

1. despite my telling them it was a two person job to move the w/d from a very confined space, only one person showed up and could do nothing. 2. when he inspected the confined work site he realized that he could do nothing then, and he waived the initial inspection fee. He stated that he would have to reschedule and return. 3. He never returned or rescheduled. Clearly this job was more complex (as I initially stated to them) than theirusual cleaning a dryer vent within a home, a job that I would have done myself (as I have in the past) if it was that easy.

We did have a note that this was a two person job but we still wanted to scope it out. We have an air sled to move heavy machines when needed so sometimes one person can handle difficult situations. We tried to reschedule but were not able to leave a message or make contact. My apologies to this customer.

We bought a new dryer and the sensor on the dryer was telling us that there was a blockage so we had to have someone come in and clean the line. He actually ended up installing more. The price was supposed to be 100 bucks but it was more than that because he had to put on a different cord attachment to the dryer. The one we had wasn't the right thing so the price was more than what we expected. But, at the same time he had what we needed on the truck. He showed us what he pulled out and stuff. The family before us had five children plus two adults so they had a lot of stuff going on here for five years. We don't know if it was ever cleaned out or not but once he changed the thing, we've been running the dryer ever since and never had that signal show up again. So, we know that what he did was right. He hooked up the new hose to try and test the air flows through but because of the way the deck is on there and stuff like that he couldn't get his instrument in there to leave the numbers before and after as far as air flows through. So, he did try though which was the service we were not expecting. I would use them again if needed.

We often see that the connection behind the dryer is not up to code. On the back of dryer's is fire hazard warning label that says do not use a foil or plastic accordion type of vent but only use a solid or semi-rigid aluminum metal connection. Not only does this improve the safety but it also improves air flow. The accordian connections can easily get pinched or crushed and restrict air flow.

I called because I found out that my dryer was vented into the attic but not to the outside. The vent system inside the house was a foil and plastic flexible hose type of material which I had been told was not safe. Rather than just having the vent extended through the roof, I wanted a completely new vent installed. I called Dryer Vent Wizard based on Angie's List reviews. A man came out the next day to give me an estimate. When I accepted the estimate, he asked if I wanted him to do it immediately. I said absolutely yes, and he completed the work in a couple of hours using rigid metal ducts. He also pointed out to me that the hoses on my washing machine were worn and could possibly rupture and asked if I wanted those replaced with much better grade of hose. Again I said yes and he did that too. He cleaned up everything before he left. I was very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: The work involved installing a new dryer vent from dryer through attic and roof. Also, hoses were replaced on washing machine.

It was a good experience. They also gave advice on how to keep it clean. They did a good job of hooking it back correctly. It was a bit expensive but it was helpful. They seemed reliable as they offered good advice and did what they promised.

We cleaned the vent line and used rigid aluminum for the connection behind the dryer for the best air flow and in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. This makes a safer connection with better airflow.

We are very pleased with the service we received from Francis and Dryer Vent Wizard.
Description of Work: Francis came out and inspected our dryer vent. He proposed a new rigid connection that would collect less lint as well as help with the amount of lint we were getting inside the laundry room. Our dryer now runs better and we have a lot less lint floating around the laundry room! Francis went above and beyond the call of duty by wiping up the lint he found after moving the washer and dryer out.

They came out and gave us a quote. We were somewhat disappointed. We ended up contacting a seperate contractor that did some work. Dryer Vent Wizard wanted to run a line up through the roof, and that was going to be fairly expensive. The contractor was able to run metal vent piping through quite easily, and didn't have to do the kind of work that Dryer Vent Wizard was recommending. Given how it ended up finally being resolved, we would expect them to specialize in what they are doing. The idea was to replace the plastic tubing that was running through two floors, and it was a straight shot. It ended up a simple run of metal tubing. They didn't even consider that as an option. They were offering a rather inconvenient and expensive solution. For what they sound to be specializing in, they didn't seem to take advantage of investigating all of the possibilites.

I am sorry we were unable to please this customer. Normally, we do look at all options and go over them with the customer. I am not sure what exactly happened in this case but I will follow-up with the technician. We do pride ourselves in being specialists. Many times, we will spend an hour or two just to figure out the best options.

I initially called the company because the tech who did our washer/dryer maintenance check said the vent looked pretty full. Also, a friend of mine had recently had a dryer fire due to the lint build-up in her dryer vent. I was very pleased with Francis' professional and courteous manner. He explained things well and answered all of my questions. I was amazed at how much lint was in our vent system! Now that the service has been completed, I am surprised at how little lint is floating around our laundry room. (We had quite a bit of lint coming into the laundry room prior to this service due to the vent hose not being sealed correctly.) Also, I can now run my dryer at a lower temp and still get my clothes dry. (Prior to this service, I was running the dryer on the highest temp to get things dry.) I will get my dryer vent cleaned out on an annual basis from now on.
Description of Work: Francis came out, looked over the system and explained the process of cleaning out the dryer vent/duct. He reattached some of the system that had been at some time (previous to our buying the house) taken apart but not put back together correctly. He also sealed the connection from the dryer to the vent to keep the lint from entering the laundry room. He also cleaned out the entire dryer vent/duct system.

Thank you for your comments! Dryer manufacturers recommend cleaning the dryer vent line on an annual basis. It is preventative maintenance for the dryer and will also save on utilities by making the dryer cycles shorter. We also always recommend using a rigid connection behind the dryer, just like the manufacturers. It makes things safer and improves air flow by 40% in some cases.

He said he would check all the other closures, but I am not sure he did that, and so I was disappointed in that. He did literally take the big metal piping off downstairs where the birds were and took the nests out. He definitely solved that problem. I felt like I had to stay on top of him a little bit more, but he did the job.
Description of Work: I used Dryer Vent Wizard for air duct cleaning. Birds had gone into a vent and were nesting. They put a closure on the outside so the birds could not get through.

From the time I bought my house 4 years ago, I had problems with the dryer vent. The dryer was brand new in 2005 and worked well until this house. The venting from the appliance to the wall never fit properly but I did the best I could with duct tape. When the vent came loose last week I was shocked to see tons of lint and debris clogging the pipe. I knew I had a serious fire hazard on my hands. I had to wait a bit for Dryer Vent Wizard but it was worth it. Francis was very professional - he cleaned out the pipe and replaced the venting connections - ensuring everything was in working order. I still can't believe how much better the dryer works. Before, a load of towels took 4 hours to dry. I did 6 loads of laundry yesterday and each was dry in less than an hour! Best of all, the safety factor of having all that gunk out of the pipes and my home. With as much laundry as I do with small children, I will have them back to check & clean the vent each year. Thank you very much!
Description of Work: Comprehensive cleaning of dryer vent from the laundry room wall appliance to outside vent; inside dryer lint trap cleaning; replacement of the connection that hooks the dryer to the pipe/vent inside the dry wall; replacement of the outside dryer vent spout (which had broken off the house several times); airflow check and verification.

I used this company and had such a good experience, I had to write a review. I used them primarily to clean our dryer vents bc we were having problems with our dryer drying the clothes. We thought we needed a new dryer. After they came out, they discovered the vents were completely clogged. Francis, the technician, spent quite some time cleaning out the 40ft+ of venting we had. After that, the dryer ran beautifully. Francis was punctual, polite and very thorough. He did a nice job of cleaning up as well. A few days later, one of our pipes came loose and fell onto our carpet. I called the company and Rick, the owner, came out I think the same day and spent quite some time securing the vent. I used them again just recently after we purchased a new dryer. The installers said the piping needed to be fit to the dryer properly and they were unable to do it. I got an apt within 5 days. Francis came out again and discovered that the installer had made a mistake and actually broke the piping during installation. Given this information, I called the installers and recieved a refund for my charges from Dryer Vent Wizard. I love this company and would definately use them again.

He arrived on time. It was a wet day so he put blue booties over his shoes when he came into the house so as to not track stuff onto the floor. He answered all of our questions and cleaned up when he was done. He was very polite. (Our service technician was Francis Coleman.) My wife and I are very pleased and highly recommend him!

The service person was right on time. My problem was that it was taking 3 cycles of drying to get my clothes dry. He tested what was my current vent and it was not venting any where near where it should have been. Whoever put it in had it running the entire length of my basement with 2 bends and I am sure it was full of lint. The service person did the work on Friday afternoon, which I was impressed with because I was expecting him to tell me he needed to come back when he had more time. It took about 2 hours from start to finish and it tripled the output of my dryer. My dryer itself was also running very hot and he told me that was a fire hazard. He replaced my existing connection. I did laundry over the weekend and it took about 1/3 the time it had been taking me.
