A new vent line planned before anything gets cut: the shortest practical route, rigid metal duct and an exterior hood that actually opens.
Philadelphia rowhomes make this the interesting part. Party walls on both sides mean the vent usually goes out the back or up through the roof, and narrow streets decide how we get a ladder or lift to it.
We measure the run and count the elbows before quoting, because the route decides whether the dryer ever dries a load properly. Ribbed accordion duct is where lint collects, so a new line goes in as rigid metal. A line that already exists and has failed is dryer vent repair.
We walk the run, count the bends and pick the shortest practical path out before anything is cut.
Smooth-wall rigid duct, joints taped rather than screwed, so there is nothing inside the line for lint to catch on.
The wall or roof penetration is cut and sealed so the exhaust leaves the house and the weather does not come back in.
An exterior hood with a damper that opens under airflow and closes after, positioned clear of windows and soffits.
Real Google reviews from Air Duct Dynasty customers.
Yes. With party walls on both sides the line normally exits the back wall or the roof, and we work out the access before quoting.
Rigid smooth-wall metal. Flexible accordion plastic kinks, crushes and traps lint, and the joints get taped rather than screwed so nothing inside the line catches lint.
That depends on your dryer manufacturer and on how many elbows the route needs. We measure first and tell you if the only available route is too long, before anything gets cut.
It depends what the work involves, and we are not the permitting authority. To confirm what your project needs, Philadelphia Licenses and Inspections is the place to check.
Yes, all three. A routine dryer vent cleaning is its own $69 job on the specials page. Installation is quoted on site once we have seen the route.
Tell us where the dryer is going and what the laundry room looks like, and we will come and measure the route.

If it is simply packed with lint you want dryer vent cleaning. If it is crushed, disconnected, badly routed or venting into a wall, you want dryer vent repair. Installation is priced separately from the $69 cleaning special.
