A two-person outfit that only does dryer vents
Cape Cod Dryer Vent Cleaning was started in 2025 by Cole and Austin, working out of Brewster. We are not a duct-cleaning company that also does dryers, and we are not a franchise working a call list. Dryer vents are the whole job.
Why we only do dryer vents
Because doing one thing every day is how you get quick at spotting what is actually wrong. Most vents we open are not simply dirty — they have a run that is too long for the appliance, a flexible hose where rigid pipe belongs, a screened cap that should never have been fitted, or a bird that got in through a broken flap two springs ago. A generalist cleans the duct and leaves. Knowing which of those you are looking at is the difference between a vent that stays clear for a year and one that is blocked again by autumn.
It is also why our pricing is published. There is no reason a standard clean should require a phone call to find out what it costs. You answer five questions about your vent, the price calculates from your answers, and that is the number on the invoice.
Working on Cape Cod specifically
Cape housing stock creates its own patterns. Capes and saltboxes put the laundry a long way from an exterior wall, so runs are longer than the manufacturer intended. Salt air degrades the hood and its flap faster than it does inland. Half the properties we visit sit empty part of the year, which is exactly when a bird finds the vent. And crawlspace laundry rooms mean long horizontal runs where lint settles instead of moving.
We work residential homes, commercial properties, and condo associations — for associations we schedule buildings together and invoice per building rather than making a manager chase a document per unit.
Nesting material pulled from the duct, headed for the vacuum.
What actually happens in that hour
Most single-family homes take about an hour. Here is the whole of it, in order.
We start at the dryer
The dryer is pulled out and disconnected. Before anything else we look at how the duct is joined to the appliance, because a crushed elbow or a foil hose behind the machine is often the whole problem.
The run gets brushed and vacuumed
A rotating brush is fed through the full length of the duct while a vacuum holds negative pressure at the open end. That is what keeps the lint out of your laundry room instead of blowing it around.
The exterior hood is cleared
Most blockages we find are at the termination, not in the middle of the run. The hood comes off, the flap is cleared and checked, and anything nesting behind it comes out.
We reconnect and confirm it draws
The dryer goes back, the duct is reconnected properly, and we run it to confirm the vent is actually moving air before we leave. On a Premium Clean that is a measured reading, not a hand held up to the hood.
You see what came out
We show you the lint. It is the only honest way to demonstrate the job was worth doing, and it tells you how overdue the vent was.
The standards we hold to
Rigid metal, not foil
Where duct needs replacing it is replaced with rigid metal. Flexible foil hose collapses, sags, and catches lint at every ridge. It has no business inside a wall or a crawlspace.
No screens at the termination
IMC 504 does not permit a screen or cage on a dryer vent outlet, because lint bridges the mesh and closes it off. If we find one we replace the hood with a properly flapped termination.
The price does not move
What the questionnaire quotes is what you pay. If we open a vent and find something genuinely different from what you described, we stop and tell you before doing anything about it.
Reviews
In our customers’ words
“Two great guys! Hard workers, effective and respectful. Will be contacting them again when the time comes for vent cleaning!”
“Both true gentleman, a job well done! Cleaned my vent efficiently and effectively”
We started in 2025, so there are two of these rather than two hundred. Both are real and neither is edited.
Where we work
The whole Cape, from Bourne to Provincetown. We are based in Brewster, so mid-Cape and Lower Cape calls usually get the earliest slot.
