Frequently Asked Questions About Dryer Vent Cleaning
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Morris County?
On our About page Rob puts it plainly: spending a few extra bucks once a year is worth the peace of mind. If a normal load has started needing more than one cycle to dry, do not wait out the rest of the year.
What does a dryer vent cleaning in Morris County include?
Every job is the same full-line service. We clear lint from the dryer connection all the way out to the exterior cap, not just the parts you can see. Airflow is checked before and after, and we clear the outside cap and check it for bird nests and damage, flagging anything that needs repair.
What does dryer vent cleaning cost in Morris County, NJ?
Flat rate. A first-story dryer vent cleaning is $185, a second-story cleaning that needs a ladder is $225, and a roof vent cleaning is $265. Repairs and replacements are on the same published list, and the price does not change once we are in the driveway. See the full list on our pricing page.
How long does a dryer vent cleaning take?
Most jobs take about an hour. Longer vent runs or heavy buildup can take more time.
Do you work on condos, townhomes and commercial buildings in Morris County?
Yes. Alongside single-family homes we service condos, townhomes, apartment complexes and commercial properties.
Are you accredited with the Better Business Bureau?
No. The Lint Guys are not accredited with the Better Business Bureau and do not have a BBB profile. What you can check instead: our 5.0 rating on Google, Rob's Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician listing in the CSIA directory, and our Nextdoor 2025 Neighborhood Favorite badge.
Are dryer vent cleaning services worth it?
We think so. The U.S. Fire Administration counts about 2,900 home clothes dryer fires a year, and failure to clean is the leading cause. As Rob puts it, spending a few extra bucks once a year is worth the peace of mind.
How often should dryer vents be professionally cleaned?
Once a year for most households, and more often with heavy use or long duct runs.
How long does it take a professional to clean a dryer vent?
Most jobs take about an hour. Longer vent runs or heavy buildup can take more time.
Do you clean air ducts or chimneys in Morris County as well?
No. Dryer vents are all we do. Most companies in Morris County are air duct or general cleaning companies that take dryer vents on the side, and that is the difference we built the business on.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Morris County?
We charge flat rates: $185 for a first-story dryer vent cleaning, $225 for a second-story vent that needs a ladder and $265 for a roof vent. A dryer vent inspection is $79 and bird nest removal is $100. Every price is on our pricing page, and we agree the quote before any work starts.
What can change the price of a dryer vent cleaning?
Only two things: whether your vent exits through the wall or the roof, and whether there's a bird nest. Length and lint buildup never change your price. If we find a nest or a repair, we show you and quote it first. You decide.
Is a rooftop vent priced differently from a wall vent?
Yes, it's a different package and the price is published up front: first story $185, second story $225, roof $265. Within your package, the length and route of the run don't change what you pay.
Does the price change once you are at my home in Morris County?
No. Pick your package when you book and that's your price, guaranteed. No per foot charges, no trip fees, no bait coupons, no price changes once we're in the driveway. The only thing that can raise the price of a cleaning is a bird nest, and we show you and quote it first.
How much does it cost to get a dryer vent installed?
The parts we install are priced up front: a DryerFlex transition hose is $75, an InOvate wall vent cover is $169, and a roof vent is $600 to replace an existing one or $800 through a new roof opening. A vent re-route is quoted on the visit, before any work starts.
How much does it cost to remove a bird nest from a dryer vent?
Bird nest or item removal is $100, on top of your cleaning package. It is the one thing that can raise the price of a cleaning, and we show you the nest and quote it before we touch it.
