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 Grapevine
Dryer vent cleaning in Grapevine typically costs $225 – $450 for a standard single-system home, depending on the length of the run and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. The job takes most of a morning, and you get before-and-after photos of your actual ducts before we call it done. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load or the laundry room heats up while the dryer runs, that’s a vent problem, not a dryer problem.
We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, and we work in Grapevine every week. Our techs know the difference between a 1990s two-story off Hall-Johnson Road and a newer build near Grapevine Mills. That matters because the vent run on a second-floor laundry room behaves nothing like a single-story setup. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Grapevine.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Grapevine’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Omar Haddad runs our Grapevine crew, and he holds every tech to the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, a written price before work starts, and photo proof of the job. No four-hour windows, no price changes at the door. That’s the Relay Home Co. family standard, and it’s been the operating rule since 2005.
When our Grapevine customers call, a live person answers. Every time. That’s 24/7, not a voicemail loop. You’ll know your tech’s name before they pull into your driveway, and they’ll arrive in uniform with Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction equipment in the van. These are the same professional-grade systems serious restoration contractors use, because a shop-vac does not clear a 16-foot vertical run off William D. Tate Avenue.
We also put our guarantee in writing on every repair, and if the repair fails within 365 days, we come back free. This is the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every job in Grapevine, not selected ones.
Dryer Vent Installation in Grapevine
Dryer Vent Installation in Grapevine is something we handle when a homeowner is moving a laundry room, replacing a corroded or crushed run, or correcting an old code violation that a home inspector flagged. A typical installation in Grapevine runs $180 – $420 for the labor, not counting the cost of the dryer itself, and the material cost depends on whether we’re working with rigid duct, semi-rigid transition, or a roofline termination cap.
Building a clean run from start to finish
When we install a dryer vent in Grapevine, we replace every compromised section rather than patching it. That means a rigid or semi-rigid run sized correctly for your dryer’s CFM, a proper termination point, and a transition connection that won’t crush behind the machine. We also verify airflow with a manometer before and after.
Older homes and code corrections
Many of Grapevine’s 1980s and 1990s homes were built with foil accordion transitions and undersized roof caps. These are exactly what we replace most often. We also install bird guards and vent caps that actually keep Grapevine’s grackles and sparrows out of the exhaust, which is a year-round issue here.
Dryer Vent Repair in Grapevine
Dryer Vent Repair in Grapevine usually means one of three things on a two-story home: a crushed foil transition behind a tight-fit laundry closet, a disconnected joint mid-run, or a clogged and corroded roof cap. Most repairs run $150 – $325, and we won’t know the true condition of the run until we camera-inspect it. Which is exactly what we do before quoting.
Crushed transitions behind the dryer
Grapevine’s 1990s floor plans often put the dryer in a recessed alcove, and it’s easy to push the machine back far enough to flatten the foil transition. Our techs replace it with a semi-rigid connection that flexes without collapsing. That repair alone can cut dry time in half.
Mid-run disconnections and leaks
A disconnected duct joint behind a wall or in an attic space dumps hot, damp air into your home. We find these with a camera, seal them with the right fasteners and foil tape, and re-verify airflow. You’d never know it was there from the outside, but the damp laundry smell tells the story.
Trusted Brands We Service in Grapevine
We clean and repair dryer vents connected to every major dryer brand, because the vent system is independent of the dryer itself. But on the equipment side, we run Guardsman filtration products and Abatement Technologies containment units when a job calls for serious dust control. We also service vent runs that terminate through Honeywell roof caps. Because we keep common Grapevine parts on the truck, most repairs get resolved in one visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Grapevine Homes
- Second-floor vertical runs that trap lint at the roofline. The 15 – 20 foot climb plus elbows means lint that starts in the dryer doesn’t all make it out. We camera-inspect these before quoting, because the trap is rarely the problem.
- Backwards airflow from cheap vent caps. A flimsy flap vent on a windy Grapevine afternoon can let air blow into the duct, not out of it. That backpressure pushes that lint right back down into your laundry room.
- Crushed foil transitions behind tight-fit laundry closets. This is the single most common repair call we make in Grapevine. The dryer gets pushed back too far, the foil accordions, and airflow tanks.
- Roofline terminations blocked with nesting material. Grapevine grackles and sparrows love a warm dryer vent. A bird guard is a cheap fix, but only if the run itself is clean and the cap is sealed right.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Grapevine, TX
Most standard Dryer Vent Cleaning in Grapevine runs $225 – $450 for a single-system home. The price is based on the length and complexity of the run, not the number of vents. A rancher with a short exterior wall vent is at the low end. A two-story with a 20-foot vertical run to a roofline cap is at the higher end. We give you one flat price per system in writing before any work starts, and there’s no per-vent pricing and no per-foot add-on. Ever.
Dryer vent installation in Grapevine runs $180 – $420, and repairs are $150 – $325. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you the number before any work begins.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Grapevine
Yes. A second-floor Grapevine laundry room pushes lint through a 15 – 20 foot vertical run plus elbows to a roofline or sidewall cap, and the lint accumulates differently than it does in a ranch with a short horizontal exit. We almost always camera-inspect the full run before quoting. The blockage is usually well past the point you can reach by hand.
Every 12 – 18 months, and more often if you run the dryer daily, dry heavy bedding or pet laundry, or have a long vertical run. Some Grapevine families with long second-floor runs and a big dog get it done yearly. The honest test is dry time: if a regular load takes more than one full cycle, call (737) 727-2314.
One flat price for the entire system, agreed before work starts. We don’t price per vent, per foot, or per elbow. That’s how Grapevine homeowners get surprised on a long vertical run, and we remove that problem entirely with a written quote before a single duct is touched.
Yes. Every Grapevine job includes before-and-after photos of the inside of the vent run, sent to your phone before we leave. You don’t have to trust a verbal summary. The photo evidence is part of the Relay Standard and it’s how we close out every job, every time.
We run Rotobrush agitation tools for breaking up packed lint and Nikro HEPA-filtered extraction units for pulling debris out under negative pressure. That means the loosened lint goes into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. For heavier containment jobs, we use Abatement Technologies units. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
