Ventz Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vent cleaning & inspection

A hundred doors is the normal job.

We do one thing, and we built it around multi-family. Exterior-first cleaning that rarely needs entry, a pricing formula that does not move between visits, and a paper trail that survives an audit.

The method

Exterior first. Entry only when it is unavoidable.

Most cleanings are completed entirely from the outside using a reverse-thrust air method — typically 5 to 15 minutes per vent, depending on access and height. Nobody needs to be home, and no one has to coordinate a key.

That matters more at scale than it sounds. A known per-vent rate is what lets us tell you how many crew days a property needs before we start — and exterior-first is the difference between working straight through a site and spending three weeks rescheduling around tenants who were not in.

When interior service is required, it is scoped and scheduled in advance and clearly flagged, so tenants know before the crew arrives.

One thing to plan for either way: cleaning a vent is audible inside the unit, not just outside, for the few minutes that vent is being worked on. Tenants should be notified before the visit. We build the route around your notice requirements so that notice can go out the way it normally does.

Who we work with

Multi-family is the point, not the exception.

Apartment complexes

Every unit on the property, cleaned from the outside, on a route we build around your tenant-notice requirements. One price per vent, one invoice, one point of contact.

HOAs & condo associations

Board-ready documentation with every vent recorded individually, so the association has a per-unit record to show owners and its insurer.

Small landlords

A handful of doors still gets the same formula price and the same 90-day warranty as a 200-unit community.

On site

What the work actually looks like.

A compressed-air line goes in through the exterior hood and the lint comes out the same way. No ladders through a tenant's living room, no appliance dragged across the floor.

On a management job we shoot about one photo every ten units — GPS tagged, uploading into our software as we go. On HOA and condo work every vent is photographed and video is held, so a homeowner who tells the board six weeks later that nobody came can be shown their own unit.

How pricing works

A formula, not a guess.

A formula, not an algorithm — an algorithm implies somebody gets charged more based on who they are. There is a rate per unit and factors for how many vents there are and how hard they are to reach. It works out the same whether you own a fourplex or run 10,000 doors.

Apartments
$10–24 / vent
HOA & condo
$18–35 / vent

Typical ranges, and outliers do happen — a property with unusually hard access can sit outside them. HOA work costs more because the documentation standard is higher: at a 200-unit association we do not have one customer, we have 200.

Vent count
How many dryer vents are on the property. Additional dryers require additional service.
Location
Which market the property sits in, and how the buildings are laid out.
Access
Ground-level, stairwell or roof — how the crew reaches each vent.

Managed properties are billed Net 30. Owner-occupied residential is due at time of service.

Add-ons are small and named up front: bird screens pulled and replaced at $4–6 each, vent covers replaced at $25, and a modest charge for retrieving whatever is stuck in the duct.
