My friend moved into a new home just 6 months ago, and her dryer kept shutting off. The first company she called told her she needed a booster fan, but the real issue was a fire hazard—the roof vent cover had a screen, which is against code and manufacturer guidelines. She was lucky nothing serious happened. She had her dryer vent cleaned, and the company charged her $349. Now, our dryer is having issues too! It takes too long to dry clothes. We reached out to a company that offered a group discount if we get 4 people together. With the discount, the price goes down to $149! My neighbor and I are already signed up—If interested, PM me your contact number and house address so I can add you to the list. ( They also do duct cleaning and chimney cleaning. ) Thanks!

We’re currently scheduling a dryer vent cleaning with Michael, and if a few more neighbors are interested, we can get a group discount. Normally this service costs $399, but with multiple homes it drops to $149 per home. (They also offer duct cleaning and chimney cleaning if needed) Cleaning your dryer vent is really important because lint and dust buildup can become a serious fire hazard if not maintained properly. We’ve used this service before, and they do an excellent job. 

If you’re interested, please send me your availability, home address, and phone number via email, or text me at 240-202-8145 and don't forget to mention Michael's name. I’ll add you to the list.
