"Highly recommended, timely and very professional. Carl was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He was able to answer all of our questions and walk us through different options, while being mindful of our budget. Just to highlight what all he did to repair our chimney. A safe working platform was erected. The old cap was removed and the brick was demoed to the flashing. All the brick was cleaned and relayed in tinted mortar to match existing masonry. A new crown was installed with custom stainless steal cage. The chimney was washed cleaned and sealed all debris were cleaned up and scaffolding was removed. We were so happy with the results. We would absolute hire him again."

"We have an old carpet which had never been cleaned. It had pet stains. He explained that it may not be possible to get the stains out because there were old stains. He pre-treated & steamed as best he could. Worked pretty well. Gave us booties to wear over shoes while carpet was wet. We also bought his carpet stain cleaner to use for new stains. (We have a cat & an old dog with kidney issues.) Once carpet dried we could see some of stains wick up which can happen. We have solid beige color carpet. But it still looks a lot better than it did! Jim was courteous & professional. He fit us in his schedule the day after I contacted him because he had a to re-schedule a customer. Otherwise he was booked all the following week.

"The cleaning itself was great, really top-notch. Getting ahold of Ashley for anything (schedule change, additional cleaning, etc.) was impossible. I tried calling and emailing multiple times over 2 years. Responses were rare, and if they occurred it was generally so delayed that it no longer mattered. We have decided to change providers due to this issue."

Yes, dryer vent cleaning is absolutely worth it. It’s a key safety measure, preventing potential dryer fires caused by lint buildup. Beyond safety, regular cleaning improves your dryer's efficiency, leading to faster drying times and lower energy bills. It also extends the lifespan of the dryer, saving you money on repairs or premature replacement. The average cost of cleaning is a small investment for the significant benefits and peace of mind it provides.
Yes. You should contact a specialist for thorough dryer vent cleaning. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or companies dedicated to dryer vent cleaning have the expertise and equipment to manage every vent configuration, including challenging setups like roof-installed or extended duct systems. Reaching out to a qualified professional ensures both safety and efficiency throughout the cleaning process.
While it might seem like a quick solution, using a leaf blower to clean your dryer vent is not recommended. Using a leaf blower often pushes lint deeper into the vent or causes it to become more compacted, creating a worse clog. This can also damage the vent material, especially flexible ducts, leading to tears and further fire hazards. For effective and safe cleaning, a specialized dryer vent cleaning kit with a brush or a powerful vacuum with a long hose attachment is preferred, or even better, hiring a professional.
Clean your dryer vent at least once per year to keep your dryer operating efficiently and prevent fires. If your dryer is located far from an exterior wall, increase the frequency of cleanings to twice a year. Doing laundry daily for a large household requires an increase to quarterly cleanings to keep the vents and ducts clear of debris.
You cannot operate a standard dryer without a properly attached vent hose. An unconnected vent forces hot, moist air into your home, which compromises indoor air quality and accelerates mold and mildew growth. This unsafe condition not only raises the risk of fires but also leads to extensive repair expenses, as it breaches local building codes that require external venting.
