Dryer Vent Wizard

My wife and I bought our first home and when we got our brand new washer and dryer installed, the maintenance guys made us sign a waiver because they weren’t comfortable installing a dryer with the shoddy, vinyl, crap that was there. I called and spoke to Gerry who came over the next day, took a look, came up with a plan and gave me a rough quote. He and his brother were back the very next day and completely rerouted our piping and installed a new vent. I was charged what he quoted me, no surprises, no fine print. Was it cheap? NO! Cheap is what got me here in the first place! You can’t put a price tag on piece of mind and safety! Thank you for your excellent and extremely quick work! I highly recommend!

I needed a new dryer vent after some birds attempted to use it as a nest, and in the subsequent battle that ensued it was determined that my existing dryer vent cover was brittle and cracked easily, and then it was determined that I needed a new vent because my existing one wasn’t up to code.
Well, Gerry, the owner of Dryer Vent Wizard determined that last part for me. But I did some checking on the internet to be sure. He was right. What I had wasn’t acceptable. Some dryer vent installer from a local appliance company half-​assed the job the first time we had one installed, and put in one of those foil accordion vents. Apparently you can’t even clean those properly, and that’s not good. OK, I’ll bite the bullet and get one that’s more rigid and up to snuff.
So, for 12 feet of better vent installed, a new vent cover with a bird covering on top, and 2 ½ hours of labor, I was charged $ 325. It’s a chunk of change for sure.
But I will say that my new dryer vent looks much more professionally installed now. I felt like Gerry was a true expert in this field. His service was excellent. He came when he said he would. He left the work area spotless when he was done (even cleaned up some of the mess I had made from before when my original cover broke into pieces). And he’s a pretty nice guy to boot.
Yeah, I dropped $ 325 on a dryer vent. But I’m OK with it. I have some peace of mind over it now. And the birds will have to find somewhere else to hatch their future offspring now, thank you very much.

I had a dryer vent installed. Nice enough, but expensive. I was charged an arm and a leg and I think it was because they knew I was in a bit of a bind to get the work done.
