I contacted ****'s list on 12/20/22 because I needed by dryer vents cleaned out because my clothes were not drying. **** sent my information to several companies, and *** contacted right away, I was told that the cost to clean the vent would be $79, but if the technician had to go on the roof it would be $99. The price was agreeable and an appointment was scheduled for today, December 21, 2022, between 10 am and 12 pm. She said ***** would be my technician. ***** said as soon as he arrived, " I am going to tell you right away. A job like is going to cost anywhere between $170 to $220 if I have to unclog anything." Or something like that. I was shocked and said repeated what I was told. He said something that I don't recall. I did not argue. When he finished he told me I owened him $270. Needlessly to say, I was shocked, but I wrote a check to *** for that amount. Feeling doped, I researched the cost after he left and discovered that the going price for dryer vent cleaning is $99 if the dryer unit is on the first floor, $139 if the dryer unit is on the 2nd floo, and $169 if the unit is on the roof. My dryer unit is on the first floor near the garage. ***** brought in tools that resembles snakes plumbers use to unclog toilets. He used those tools to pull the lint out the lint, and he used a drill. He said he removed a seal so that the list go go out side, but he never went on the roof. The job took no longer that 30 or 40 minutes to complete. I feel duped and I believe that he overcharged me over a $100 dollars.
