Staten Island Dryer Vent Cleaning: Prices, Scheduling and What to Expect

Yes, Vent Pro NYC cleans dryer vents on Staten Island, by appointment. We're a family-owned company based in Brooklyn, and we schedule Staten Island visits around our routes. On the island we book our Total Home Protection cleaning: $199.99 for a dryer in the basement or on the 1st floor, plus $50 for a dryer on the 2nd floor or higher. It's a flat rate, so a long vent costs the same as a short one, and you get an airflow reading before and after.

This guide covers where on the island we go, what the visit includes, what it costs, and how to tell your vent is due. For the short version, see our Staten Island dryer vent cleaning page.

Do you come to my part of Staten Island?

We cover the whole borough by appointment: St. George, Stapleton, Port Richmond, New Dorp, Great Kills, Eltingville, Annadale, Huguenot, Tottenville, Todt Hill and everywhere in between. Because we're coming from Brooklyn, Staten Island visits are fitted around our routes rather than offered at every hour of every day.

How much does dryer vent cleaning cost on Staten Island?

On Staten Island we book Total Home Protection:

• $199.99 for a dryer in the basement or on the 1st floor
• $50 more for a dryer on the 2nd floor or higher

That's the whole price for the cleaning. We never charge by the foot, and the price you book is the price on your invoice, never an upsell. The booking page shows the exact total for your dryer, including whether it's a stackable, before you pay.

A few other things to know:

• More than one dryer? Each dryer is cleaned and priced in full. Choose the number of dryers when you book.
• Deposit. Online bookings take a $50 deposit, which is credited to your invoice.
• Repairs and parts aren't included. If we find a crushed hose or a broken cap, we quote it and do it only with your approval.
• Washer gasket or ventless dryer on the same visit. Washer gasket cleaning is $179.99 and ventless dryer cleaning is $179.99. Because Staten Island is more than 3 miles from our shop, there's a $50 travel charge on those (the ventless one is waived when it's booked with a dryer vent cleaning), and never more than one travel charge per visit.

What's included in the cleaning?

Total Home Protection is our most complete dryer vent service. Here's what's in it:

• Everything in Essential Vent Cleaning
• Deep clean under the lint trap (where stray lint piles up)
• Blower fan area cleared of lint buildup
• Airflow test with calibrated meter
• Full appliance safety inspection
• CO / gas safety check on gas dryers
• 14-day service guarantee in writing

In practice: we measure airflow at the dryer first, pull the dryer out, clean the full run from the dryer to the outside cap, deep-clean the cavity under the lint trap, check the exterior cap, put everything back and measure again. You get the before and after airflow numbers on your invoice, with photos of the work. If anything vent-related is off within 14 days, we come back and re-clean at no charge.

How do I know my dryer vent needs cleaning?

The dryer usually tells you before anything else does. Watch for:

• Loads that need a second cycle. The most common sign, and the one people put up with the longest.
• A hot laundry room, or a dryer that's hot to the touch on top.
• A musty smell on clothes that should be clean, or a burning smell while it runs.
• An outside flap that barely opens when the dryer is on.
• A "check vent" light on a newer dryer.

Any one of these is a reason to book. Our guide to the signs of a clogged dryer vent explains what's behind each one.

What clogs a dryer vent in a Staten Island house?

The same things that clog vents anywhere in the city:

• Lint build-up along the run. Some lint gets past the lint screen on every load and settles in the duct, especially at bends.
• The transition hose behind the dryer. Foil and white plastic hoses crush and sag, and they aren't permitted for dryers in NYC. A metal transition is the fix. Our hose versus rigid duct guide explains the difference.
• The outside cap. A flap that sticks, a cap packed with lint, or a nest. Birds like a warm vent opening, and we cover what to do about it in our guide to bird nests in dryer vents.
• A longer run than it looks. If the laundry was moved upstairs or to the far side of the basement, the vent may run much farther than you'd guess before it gets outside.

How often should a dryer vent be cleaned on Staten Island?

Once a year for most households. Do it more often if you run a lot of laundry, have a long vent run, or have pets. If you can't remember the last cleaning, it's due now. Our cleaning frequency guide goes into the details.

How do I book?

Book online: enter your Staten Island address, answer a couple of questions about the dryer (which floor, stackable or not, how many), and pick an opening. Our hours are Sunday through Thursday 9 AM to 6 PM and Friday until 3 PM. We're closed on Saturday. Before the visit, clear a path to the dryer and, if you know where the vent comes out, tell us in the booking notes. Our appointment prep guide has the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't you offer the cheaper Essential cleaning on Staten Island?

Staten Island is more than 3 miles from our Brooklyn shop, and outside that radius the basement and 1st-floor Essential cleaning isn't bookable on its own. Total Home Protection is what we book there, and it includes more: the deep clean under the lint trap and the safety check.

Do you clean dryer vents that go through the roof?

Yes. A vent that runs to the roof is cleaned end to end, and the price follows the floor the dryer is on.

Can I book a washer gasket cleaning at the same time?

Yes. Add it when you book. Washer gasket cleaning is $179.99, plus the $50 travel charge for Staten Island addresses.

Do you guarantee the work?

Yes. If anything vent-related is off within 14 days of the cleaning, we come back and re-clean at no charge.
