TL;DR — Real DFW Pricing

A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in DFW (across our 12-city service area) runs $99 to $329 in 2026:

• **$99** as a same-trip add-on when bundled with a chimney sweep — the cheapest legitimate price in the metro
• **$159-$-+** standalone, single-story home, vent run under 25 feet, ground-level exit
• **$229-$-+** for two-story homes, roof-exit vents, or runs 25-40 feet
• **$279-$-+** for long runs (40+ feet), inaccessible roof exits, or homes with documented fire-risk lint compaction

The DFW median, across the 412 dryer-vent jobs we ran in 2025, was $189.

Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Matters (Briefly)

The U.S. Fire Administration estimates 2,900+ residential dryer fires annually, $35M in property damage, and 5 deaths. The leading cause is failure to clean dryer vents. In the DFW climate — high humidity in summer, dust loads from drought conditions, and pollen — lint mats faster than the national average. We see homes 4-5 years out from their last clean with vent runs 60-70% obstructed.

Beyond fire risk: a clogged vent makes the dryer run 2-3x longer, raising electric bills by $15-$-+ a month and shortening dryer lifespan by 3-5 years.

5 Cost Factors

1. Vent run length

A 15-foot ground-floor run is straightforward. A 50-foot run snaking through a two-story attic with multiple elbows requires segmented cleaning and pressure-testing — adds $50-$-+.

2. Roof exit vs. wall exit

Roof-exit vents require ladder work and harness setup. Adds $40-$-+.

3. Lint compaction severity

Light annual buildup → quick clean. Compacted, partially-burned lint that has been baking against a 200°F dryer-back wall for 3+ years is a 90-minute job and can require disassembly of the wall outlet.

4. Bird/animal nests at the exterior cap

Common in DFW spring (March-May). Adds $59-$-+ plus a screened cap upgrade if the original cap is failing.

5. Bundling with chimney sweep

The single biggest cost lever. Same-trip dryer vent cleaning is $99 — about half the standalone price.

Tier-by-Tier Pricing

| Tier | What it is | DFW price |

|—|—|—|

| Same-trip add-on | Bundled with chimney sweep, standard run | $99 |

| Standard standalone | 1-story, run under 25 ft, wall exit | $159-$-+ |

| Two-story / roof-exit | Run 25-40 ft, ladder work | $229-$-+ |

| Long-run / fire-risk | 40+ ft, heavy compaction, attic disassembly | $279-$-+ |

| Bird/nest removal add-on | Screened cap inspection | +$59-$-+ |

| Cap replacement | Bird-screen + backdraft damper | +$79-$-+ |

Common Add-Ons

• **Lint trap deep-clean** — $29
• **Dryer pull-out and back-panel access** — $59 if needed for compacted lint
• **Replacement transition hose** (the flex from dryer to wall) — $39-$-+ — required if old hose is foil/plastic; we install rigid metal per code
• **Annual maintenance plan** (1 sweep + 1 dryer vent + reminders) — $329

DFW Climate / Market Context

The DFW heat-and-humidity cycle (Apr-Oct) accelerates lint mat formation because moisture in the exhaust air condenses on cooler vent walls and traps lint. Homes near the airport flight paths (Coppell, Irving, parts of Grapevine) get a higher dust load. The 12 cities we serve — Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney, Carrollton, Richardson, Garland, Wylie, Murphy, Sachse, Rowlett, Far North Dallas — are priced flat. There is no zip-code premium.

For homes built in the 2005-2015 boom that are now 11-21 years old, this is the high-risk window: builder-grade flexible vinyl ducting fails, transition hoses sag and trap lint, and most owners have never had the line cleaned. About 22% of those homes we inspect show lint compaction sufficient to flag fire risk.

What’s Included in the Quote

• Pre-clean airflow measurement (CFM at the exterior cap)
• Full vent run cleaning with rotary brush + HEPA vacuum
• Exterior cap inspection and clearing
• Transition hose check (recommend replacement if non-rigid)
• Post-clean airflow re-test
• Photo documentation
• Written report
• 30-day satisfaction guarantee

Watch Out For

• **$49 dryer vent specials** — usually a vacuum-only job that doesn’t address compacted lint or the roof exit
• **Door-to-door “free inspection”** — same upsell pattern as chimney bait
• **Operators without HEPA equipment** — lint released into the home

A real DFW dryer-vent clean starts at $99 (bundled) or $159 (standalone). Below that, the job is incomplete.

FAQ

Annually if the family does 5+ loads/week. Every 2 years for lighter use.

A clogged vent forces the dryer to run 1.5-2x longer per load. We’ve measured $15-$-+/month savings in heavy-laundry households.

$99 same-trip with a chimney sweep. $159 standalone.

For a wall-exit, single-story home with under 15 ft of run, yes — partially. For roof exits or long runs, no. The professional pressure-test catches what a DIY brush misses.

Yes, with full harness setup. Adds about $40-$-+.

Often yes — most homeowner’s policies cover dryer-fire damage but require proof of vent maintenance for reimbursement of replacement. Our reports satisfy that.
