NYC dryer vent cleaning cost guide
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in NYC?
$179.99 to $299.99 flat, depending on where your dryer sits and whether it’s a stackable unit — published here, charged exactly as published. We’re Vent Pro NYC, a family-owned Brooklyn company, and unlike the national chains’ “$50–$275” ranges, these are the real numbers you can book against right now.
Our flat-rate prices — Brooklyn & nearby
These are the standard rates across our service area. The +$50 upper-floor adjustment is the only add-on tied to your setup, and it’s applied at booking — not sprung on site.
| Service | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Vent Cleaning | Basement & 1st floor dryers · +$50 for dryers on the 2nd floor or higher | $179.99 |
| Total Home Protection Package | Basement & 1st floor dryers · +$50 for dryers on the 2nd floor or higher | $199.99 |
| Stackable Dryer Unit | Basement & 1st floor dryers · +$50 for dryers on the 2nd floor or higher | $199.99 |
Flat-rate pricing — never an upsell
Every price Vent Pro NYC lists is a flat rate. Short vent or long vent, light lint or heavy buildup — same price. We never charge by the foot, and the price you book is the price on your invoice. That's how our family-owned company has always worked.

What the national chains charge
For comparison, here are the advertised national averages for the big franchises. Two things to know: these are nationwide ranges (NYC jobs typically land at the top of them), and most chains finalize the price after an on-site inspection — the number you see is rarely the number you pay.

|---|---|---|
| Dryer Vent Wizard | National franchise | $60 – $240 |
| Sears | National chain | $90 – $190 |
| DUCTZ | National franchise | $150 – $200 |
| COIT | National franchise | $140 – $160 |
| Stanley Steemer | National franchise | $50 – $150 |
| AdvantaClean | National franchise | $130 – $200 |

What actually affects the price in NYC
Where the dryer sits
Basement and first-floor dryers are the base rate. Second floor or higher adds a fixed +$50 — never a surprise quote on site.
Stackable units
Closet stacks (washer on the bottom, dryer on top) take safe disassembly and reassembly to reach the vent line, so they price as their own flat tier.
Roof access
Some NYC vent runs exit through the roof. In our flat-rate zone that's simply the top tier — no ladder fees stacked on later.
What's NOT a factor: vent length
Our flat rate covers the full vent line whatever its length. Companies that price by the foot can't tell you the total until they're in your basement.

I knew something was up when my clothing was taking forever to dry but when the check vent light went on I knew it was a fire hazard. Eyal responded to my text in minutes, booked an appointment on the spot for the next day and showed up on time. He didn't mind that I was standing over to watch the whole process and boy was it satisfying. I couldn't believe the lint that was living in the dryer, behind the wall and at the exit vent on the side of my house. This is not the DIY job you think it is. well worth the visit!

With us, $179.99 to $299.99 flat, depending on where the dryer sits and whether it's a stackable unit. Essential Vent Cleaning starts at $179.99 for basement and first-floor dryers; our flat-rate neighborhoods run $229.99–$299.99. National chains advertise anywhere from $50 to $275, but those are nationwide averages — NYC jobs usually land at the top of the range, and many chains only quote after a visit.
Yes — the price covers the full vent line regardless of its length. The only things that change the price are published upfront: dryer on the 2nd floor or higher (+$50), stackable units, and roof-access runs in the flat-rate zone. There is no on-site upsell.
Those ranges are national averages across every market and job type, and most chains price per vent, per foot, or after an on-site inspection. A wide advertised range usually means the real number arrives with the technician. We publish the actual price and let you book against it.
Online bookings take a $50 deposit that is credited toward your service invoice — it holds your slot, it isn't an extra fee. The remainder is due after the job is done.
