Why Montclair residents choose The Dryer Guys for residential dryer vent cleaning
Montclair is the largest town in our coverage area with about 40,900 residents across six distinct neighborhoods, each with its own housing character. From the dense Victorians of Upper Montclair to the newer condos near the NJ Transit stations to the mid-century splits of the West End, Montclair requires service technicians who can read a home's vent system on sight — no two jobs are alike.
What Montclair's housing stock means for your vent
A full cross-section of North Jersey housing: pre-1900 Victorians, craftsman bungalows, 1920s colonials, 1960s splits, and a growing stock of 2010s-and-later multi-family and condo construction. Condo associations are a significant portion of our Montclair work, and several require annual vent-cleaning documentation.
Our residential dryer vent cleaning service is built exactly for this kind of work: Video endoscope pre-inspection of the full vent run, Rotary-brush cleaning from exterior termination inward, HEPA-vacuum lint capture at the dryer connection, and a post-service re-scope to prove the run is clear.
Our approach in Montclair
We maintain ongoing relationships with several Montclair HOAs and property managers. If you're a condo owner and your building doesn't currently coordinate vent cleaning building-wide, we can often propose it as a shared-savings program.

3-step process
- Inspect & scope the system. We arrive on-time, lay shoe covers and floor protection, then pull the dryer forward and run a video endoscope through the full vent run — connector, in-wall ducting, and exterior termination. You see the footage on our tablet in real time. Flat $49.99 inspection fee — applied even if you choose not to proceed with cleaning.
- Clean with rotary brush + HEPA capture. A flexible rotary brush sized for your vent diameter is run the full length from the exterior termination back, agitating compacted lint. A HEPA-filtered vacuum at the dryer end captures everything so nothing ends up back in your house. $220 for a standard residential vent run.
- Verify & document. We re-scope the vent to confirm it's clear, verify airflow at the exterior termination, reconnect the dryer, and leave you with a written inspection report plus before/after photos. Digital invoice emailed through Square. Typical on-site time: 45 minutes.

Our pricing is flat across our entire Essex County service area — no town-specific surcharges. Typical total for a Montclair home is $269 (inspection + routine cleaning). Typical total for a standard single-family cleaning. Unusually long or damaged vent runs may require repair beyond routine cleaning — we quote any additional work up front before starting.
