What Our Customers Say
4.9 out of 5 — Based on 97 Google reviews
We called hoping to get a clean sweep of a dryer vent on a rental home and not only did John answer our call when he was feeling under the weather, he was able to add us to the schedule the same day. The employee who arrived was David, and my husband and I both were absolutely impressed with his knowledge, kindness, friendly demeanor, and professionalism. So impressed! We will absolutely be using this company moving forward.
Used Dryer Vent John for the second time today. Both experiences were great. John and David are both polite and professional. I'm impressed with the detail of both of their work. But what I really appreciate is the fair pricing. Today's job was more involved than anticipated, but they honored their original quote.
John was very responsive when I first reached out and was able to get us an appointment the next day. When Cady arrived we had a brief chat and determined it would be best to reroute the vent to make it much shorter. She was able to fix it the same day.
Really nice guy! I used a different company to clean my dryer vent and they discovered a problem they couldn't fix. I found John and he worked with me on a solution that fit within my budget.
