What it costs
The same prices as everywhere we work: dryer vent cleaning is $199, normally $298, with a year of Comfort+ membership included, or $199 added to an air duct cleaning.
Dryer vent cleaning, a year of Comfort+ membership included
$199, normally $298
Dryer vent cleaning, added to an air duct cleaning
$199
The price covers the whole dryer vent line, from the back of the dryer to the hood outside, with camera photos of what we find, a dated invoice, and before and after photos of your line when we can get a clear shot. Anything past the cleaning, like a new hose or a guard on the hood, you get the price first.
With Comfort+ membership, $199 a year covers the dryer vent cleaning every year, plus a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection, a heating maintenance visit and a cooling maintenance visit, and we tell you when each one is due.
What’s different in Middleburg
Plenty of Middleburg houses are older than the clothes dryer itself: about one home in four in 20117 dates from 1939 or earlier. In a house like that the laundry landed wherever there was room later, a cellar, an enclosed back porch, a mudroom, and the dryer line leaves by whatever path the walls allowed, sometimes through a stone or brick foundation with more elbows than a newer house would get. Every elbow is a place lint stops.
Inside the Historic District the outside end has rules of its own. The Town’s design guidelines put exhaust pipes and hoods the street can see under the Historic District Review Committee, in the least conspicuous spot, and a new one visible from a public way needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before the work starts. Cleaning the line and putting the same hood back is routine maintenance, which the Town excludes. Moving the line to another wall, or changing the hood’s shape, material or color, is not.
Summer storms are hard on that outside end. NOAA’s storm records note golf-ball hail just northwest of town and hail-broken windows to the east on June 16, 2016, and hundreds of trees, branches and wires down between Middleburg and Upperville in June 2022. A plastic louvered hood can crack under hail, and a falling limb can crush it or pull the line loose behind the wall. After a big storm, walk around and look before the next load.
Snow does its own damage. A trained spotter measured 34 inches in Middleburg after the January 2016 blizzard, and a low hood near the grade is buried under that much. About one owner in five here heats with propane, and where the dryer runs on propane too, its combustion gases leave through the same line as the lint, which makes a buried or blocked hood more than a slow dryer.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
ZIP 20117 as a whole: every Middleburg address, the Town and the farms around it, about a tenth of the land in Fauquier County. The Census place for the Town alone has too few homes for steady figures.
When it’s due
A hood bent by a branch or packed with blown leaves chokes the line from outside. With the dryer on, look for the flap to lift; if it does and the clothes are still slow, the line itself is due for its dryer vent cleaning.
The first thing most people notice. When the dryer vent is packed, the damp air has nowhere to go, so the clothes stay wet and the dryer runs hot.
Fire departments around Northern Virginia say once a year, and sooner if clothes start taking longer to dry. If you can’t remember the last dryer vent cleaning, it’s due.
The dryer vent, locally
Ashburn Volunteer Fire and Rescue, one of the companies in Loudoun County’s fire and rescue system, says the dryer vent, from the back of the dryer to the outside of the house, should be cleaned at least once a year, and that longer drying times are a sign it’s clogged. Source.

Choosing who cleans it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
On a house in the Historic District, a replacement hood that changes shape, material or color is something the Town reviews. Ask whether they’ll match what’s there, and whether they’ll tell you before anything new goes on a wall the street can see.
Brushing the first few feet from the laundry room isn’t a dryer vent cleaning. Ask whether they clean from the back of the dryer to the hood outside, and how they get the lint out of the house instead of pushing it further down.
Camera photos of the inside of your dryer vent line are how you know it needed cleaning, and before and after photos are how you know the job was done. Ask to see them, and for a dated invoice if your HOA wants proof.

Aaron, Kaiden, Oscar, Derek and Felix did a great job installing an HVAC unit and cleaning out the ducts and dryer vents, which were very difficult to access! They were all very professional!

Questions
No. The work happens inside the line, and the same hood goes back where it was, which is routine maintenance under the Town’s rules. Only a new hood the street can see, or one in a new spot, goes before the committee.
Yes. Every 20117 address gets the same $199 for dryer vent cleaning, normally $298, with a year of Comfort+ membership included, or $199 alongside an air duct cleaning, whichever county the house sits in.
