FAQ
How much does dryer vent cleaning usually cost?
Most wall or first-floor jobs land between $80 and $150. Second-floor vents are often $110–$185. Roof vents are often $150–$250 before extras like nests or long runs.
Why is a roof vent more expensive?
The tech has to get on the roof, work around pitch and weather, and usually spend more time on the exterior cap. A wall-vent price on a roof job is not the same scope.
Does a bird nest change the quote?
Yes. Nest removal and packed lint typically add $40–$100. If the exterior hood is crushed or the flap is stuck, that part is often extra.
Is a very cheap quote a good sign?
Not by itself. Some cheap quotes skip the exterior cap, roof access, or disposal. Read the scope before you treat the number as a bargain. See the red-flags guide.
