Simple Duct
Wondering what dryer vent cleaning should cost? At Simple Duct the answer is published, not negotiated: one flat rate of $149 for a standard dryer vent cleaning — plus a short list of fixed add-ons that apply only when a specific, objective condition is present. Here's the full breakdown, so you can read our quote — and anyone else's — with confidence.
Our price: $149 flat
A standard dryer vent cleaning costs $149, confirmed in writing before any work begins. The price is the same for a short ground-floor run and a long attic run to a roof cap: we don't price by vent length, routing, or how much lint we find.
The flat rate includes airflow testing before and after, full-line rotary cleaning from the dryer to the exterior cap, termination cap service (damper check, nesting removal), a photo report, and our 6-Month Dryer Vent Clog-Free Guarantee.
The only extras: fixed, published add-ons
A few specific conditions carry a fixed add-on. Each one is objective, published here and on our pricing page, and itemized in your quote before you book — never invented at your door:
- Roof vent termination — +$80
- Difficult 2nd-floor access — +$35
- Apartment/condo complex access — +$45
- Dryer interior lint cleaning — +$125
- Same-day appointment — +$75
- Priority urgent visit — +$125
- Additional dryer, same address — +$175
One complexity is never charged twice, and the price you approved is locked — it does not change when we arrive. There is no charge for vent length, turns, or the time the cleaning takes: a long run costs the same $149 as a short one.
What we never charge for
- Heavy lint buildup. A vent that hasn't been touched in a decade takes more work — that's the job you hired us for, not a surcharge.
- Hourly fees or extra technician effort inside the agreed cleaning.
- Mandatory surprise fees after arrival.
How to read other companies' quotes
Many providers price differently — by vent length, routing, termination type, and buildup level — so their quotes vary from home to home and are often given only after an in-home look. Whichever model you choose, be cautious of prices that seem too good to be true: they usually mean a partial job (the first few feet only, no airflow test). And if a quote doesn't mention airflow testing before and after, ask about it — it's how you know the job actually worked.
