How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in North Jersey?

Most single-family homes in North Jersey pay between $149 and $249 for a full cleaning. Standard ground-floor wall vents typically run $149–$179. Long basement-to-roof routings or homes with multiple elbows are usually $179–$229. Roof-vent terminations are typically $199–$249. Bird nests or rodent obstructions add $50–$100 to remove.

Why is roof-vent service more expensive?

Roof terminations require ladder work and roof access, which adds time and risk. They're also more likely to have damaged caps or accumulated debris that needs replacing or removing as part of the service.

Are there hidden fees?

No. We confirm a flat-rate quote before starting. The only time the price changes mid-job is if we discover a vent line problem that a cleaning can't fix — collapsed flex duct, a crushed run, or rodent damage — in which case we stop, show you what we found, and quote the repair separately. You're never charged for a cleaning that didn't actually solve the problem.

What drives the high end of the range

Run length. A 30-foot run takes longer to brush and HEPA-vacuum than a 12-foot run. Older Montclair, Maplewood and Bloomfield homes with basement laundries usually fall here.
Number of elbows. Each elbow doubles back the brush head and slows the work. Three or more elbows pushes most jobs into the upper range.
Roof termination. Ladder time, fall-protection setup, and the higher likelihood of needing a new cap.
Years of neglect. A vent that hasn't been cleaned in five years takes longer than one that's two years overdue, because more lint has migrated and packed.
Tight access. Stacked closet laundry rooms in newer construction sometimes require disconnecting and pulling the dryer through a tight space.

What's included in the price

Full mechanical cleaning of the entire vent run with a rotary brush.
HEPA-vacuum extraction at both ends.
Cleaning and re-securing the exterior cap.
Anemometer airflow test before and after.
Reconnection and operational verification of the dryer.
Before-and-after photos.
Honest readout on whether the line itself needs additional work — and a separate quote if so.

How we compare to "$59 cleaning" coupons

The $59 cleaning ads you see in mailers are almost always bait pricing. The crew arrives, finds something "wrong," and the actual quote ends up at $300+ once the upsells are added. Our flat-rate $149–$249 includes the entire job. If we find genuine problems beyond a cleaning, we tell you and quote them separately — but the cleaning price doesn't change retroactively.

Multi-family and commercial pricing

Apartment buildings, condo HOAs and commercial properties are quoted per building rather than per unit. See our commercial service overview or one of our city pages: Newark, East Orange, Bloomfield.
