Five star reviews from homeowners across the area.
I am so glad that I found Lintlock. The owner is amazing. He was extremely professional and friendly. He was very thorough in the cleaning of my dryer vent, checking it both inside as well as the vent on the outside of my house. I was amazed at the amount of lint he was able to remove. As someone with a dog who sheds constantly, I know that this service will enable my dryer to work more efficiently. I cannot recommend this company enough. I have mentioned them to several neighbors and have shared on my neighborhood's Facebook. Truly a great experience with a terrific company.
I used to have to restart my dryer several times before my items were dry. After you removed the lint buildup and the dryer sheets that somehow got into the vent my items dried the first time. No restarting because they weren't dry. Awesome job!!
Lintlock is great at what they do and provides top notch customer service. When he arrived for the dryer vent cleaning, he explained the process and did everything perfectly. He had all the right tools with him and completed the job in a timely manner. The service was very reasonably priced too. I will recommend this company to anyone needing a dryer vent cleaning.
Lintlock Dryer Vent Specialists was outstanding! He was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He was flexible with scheduling, arrived promptly, and took the time to explain everything clearly, including what to expect. His expertise and attention to detail made the experience smooth and stress free. I highly recommend Lintlock and truly appreciated the excellent service provided.

Common questions
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Most homes every 1 to 2 years. Large families, long vent runs, or vents that exit through the roof usually need it every year.
How long does a cleaning take?
Most homes take about an hour. Long runs, roof exits, or repairs can take longer, and we'll tell you up front.
How much does it cost?
Every vent is different, so we quote each job. Quotes are free and there's no obligation. Call or send the form and we'll get back to you quickly.
Do I need to be home?
Someone needs to let us in to reach the dryer. We'll pull it out, clean the full line, and put everything back.
Can you clean vents that go out through the roof?
Yes. We'll let you know when you request a quote if there's anything special about access.
Do you work with apartments and property managers?
Yes. We quote multi unit buildings and can set up a recurring schedule with unit by unit reporting.
