Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Yonkers
Dryer vent cleaning in Yonkers typically runs $165 – $280 for most single-family homes, and the job takes about 60 – 90 minutes from setup to final camera walkthrough. We work off Getty Square, up through Lincoln Park, and across the east side into Crestwood every week, so our techs know exactly what Yonkers vent runs look like, which is rarely a straight shot. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Yonkers’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Yonkers homes are different from what you find ten minutes north in White Plains or over the line in the Bronx. This is old brick country. A lot of the housing stock between South Broadway and McLean Avenue went up before 1940, and the dryer vents in those buildings run long, turn hard through masonry, and terminate through sidewalls where nobody ever looks. That’s the work we do most, and it’s why local homeowners keep our number saved.
Every job we book in Yonkers includes a written price before we touch a single vent, a live arrival window you can track from your phone, and before-and-after camera photos of your actual dryer vent run. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s non-negotiable on every booking. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and carry Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA extraction units, not a shop vac and a prayer. Omar Haddad runs this operation with a simple rule: if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and make it right. No fine print.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Yonkers
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Yonkers is not a quick wave with a brush at the wall connection. It’s a full-run cleaning, which matters here because most Yonkers dryer vents are long runs punched through brick or fieldstone sidewalls, with multiple elbows between the dryer and the outside hood. We clean the entire run, from the dryer connection all the way to the exterior vent cap, using a rotary brush system and negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened lint goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum instead of back into your laundry room. A standard single-family home in Yonkers runs $165 – $280 for this service. Multi-unit properties and three-family homes are priced by the run, and you’ll see that price in writing before anything starts.
Camera Inspection First
Before we clean anything, we send a small camera down the vent so you can see what’s actually in there. This matters in Yonkers because runs this long hide buildup in the middle, not just at the two ends. You see the before, we clean, you see the after.
Full-Run Agitation and Extraction
We use rotary brush agitation to break packed lint free from the elbows and the long straight sections, then pull everything out with a HEPA-rated negative-pressure vacuum. No blowing debris out the side of your house with a leaf blower, which is a shortcut we see a lot in this area.
Dryer Vent Installation in Yonkers
Dryer Vent Installation in Yonkers means replacing what’s already there, and in this city, that’s often a run that was never sized or routed correctly in the first place. Older homes off Nepperhan Avenue or up near Park Hill frequently have flexible foil ducting snaked through walls, sagging and pinched, or terminating in a spot that dumps hot, lint-filled air against a window or into an alley. We remove the old run and install rigid metal duct, which carries lint better and catches less of it than flex. Most standard installations in Yonkers run $240 – $420 depending on the length of the run and how many turns it makes. Every installation comes with a written guarantee from Omar Haddad and his crew.
Short-Run Replacements
If your dryer sits against an exterior wall, this is the simplest job we do. We replace the connector and the hood, seal everything properly, and you’re done in under an hour. These typically land at the bottom of the range.
Sidewall Runs Through Masonry
This is the Yonkers special. We core or enlarge the existing masonry opening, run rigid duct with the fewest turns possible, and install a proper exterior hood with a working damper and, if needed, a bird guard. These runs cost more because of the brick work and the access, and the quote reflects that honestly.
Trusted Brands We Service in Yonkers
We work on dryers from every major manufacturer, and we stock replacement parts locally so Yonkers customers aren’t waiting on a backordered vent cap from a warehouse in Ohio. Our teams carry Aprilaire vents and filtration components, Abatement Technologies containment for tight laundry rooms in older buildings, and Rotobrush cleaning heads sized for everything from a standard 4-inch residential run to longer commercial runs in multi-family buildings. When we replace a vent cap, we carry common sizes on the truck, which means most Yonkers repair jobs are done in one visit, not two.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Yonkers Homes
- Long, elbow-heavy runs through brick sidewalls. In pre-war homes off Riverdale Avenue and elsewhere, a dryer vent can run 20 to 30 feet with three or four turns before it exits. Lint packs into every bend, and a shop vac on the first three feet does nothing for the rest of it.
- Visible lint traps that don’t tell the story. Homeowners clear the screen after every load and assume the vent is fine. On a Yonkers run that long, most of the lint never makes it to the screen; it’s sitting in the second elbow past the wall.
- Foil flex duct pinched behind the dryer. Older homes off Central Avenue often have soft foil connectors that kink the moment someone pushes the dryer back against the wall. That restriction is a fire risk and it doubles your dry time, and it’s invisible unless you pull the unit out.
- Exterior hoods that don’t open. The flap on the outside wall gets painted shut, rusted, or simply stopped working years ago. If you can’t feel a steady flow of warm air at the exterior hood when the dryer runs, the whole system is backing up.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yonkers, NY
Dryer vent cleaning in Yonkers runs $165 – $280 for a standard single-family home. That’s a flat price per system, not per vent, and it’s the same price whether your run is 8 feet or 30 feet, because we’re not going to nickel-and-dime you once the van is parked out front. Multi-family or unusually long commercial runs are priced per run after a quick assessment, and you’ll see that number in writing before we start. Installation runs $240 – $420 for most residential replacements. The factors that move the price are masonry work, access difficulty, and run length.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yonkers
Once a year for most homes in Yonkers, and every six months if your vent is a long sidewall run through brick with multiple turns, which describes a lot of this city. What matters is run length and number of elbows, not just household size. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a normal load, don’t wait for the calendar, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll take a look.
Because per-vent pricing hides what the job actually costs. In Yonkers, a three-turn masonry run through a sidewall takes different labor than a short straight run out the back wall, and per-vent pricing lets a dishonest company quote low and then inflate the invoice on site. We quote one flat price per system, in writing, before any work starts. That price covers the entire run regardless of length or turns.
Yes, every single time. We run a camera inspection before cleaning and after, and you get both views on your phone as part of The Relay Standard. You’re not taking our word for it; you’ll see the lint packed in the elbows, then you’ll see those same elbows clear. If a company won’t show you before-and-after photos of your own vent, ask yourself what they’re hiding.
We schedule every job, and we don’t promise same-day service because we don’t want to rush the work. What we do promise is a live arrival window you can track from your phone, and a live person who answers when you call (737) 727-2314. Most Yonkers customers get an appointment within a day or two, and we show up when we say we will.
Our technician arrives in uniform, introduces himself by name, and walks you through the plan before opening a single panel. We disconnect the dryer, run a camera down the vent so you can see the current state, then use rotary brush agitation and HEPA negative-pressure extraction to remove the lint from the full run, including every elbow. We clean the connection, check the exterior hood, run the camera again, and you get before-and-after photos along with a written guarantee on the work. The whole thing usually takes under 90 minutes. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and to confirm the current pricing for your home.
Because so much of Yonkers’ housing is pre-war brick multifamily and older owner-occupied homes, dryer vent runs here are unusually long and elbows-heavy, often terminating through masonry sidewalls rather than a short rear-wall hood. That means lint accumulates deeper in the run than in newer suburban construction where the vent is a straight shot a few feet from the dryer. A lint-caked run in a 1920s brick house off Warburton Avenue is a different cleaning job than a short vent in a 1990s townhouse, and it should be priced and handled like it. Our techs know the difference because this is the work they do every day in Yonkers.
Last fall, in the Lincoln Park area off Warburton Avenue, our tech cleaned a dryer vent on a 1920s brick house where the run left the dryer, made three turns, and exited about 25 feet away through the sidewall. The homeowner had been drying the same load twice because of the buildup. After camera inspection and agitation tools pulled the packed lint out of the elbows, the dryer finished in one cycle and the exterior hood flap moved freely again. That’s a Yonkers vent, and it’s the job we’re built for.
