One of the reasons Willard Power Vac made it to our list of best dryer vent cleaning services in Portland is their efficiency. 

With their various internal duct cleaning tools and new trucks with mounted vacuum equipment, you can very well expect that they do a satisfactory job.

A lot of their previous customers who gave us enthusiastic reviews said they were quite thorough with the jobs without it costing them a ton. 

They also praised their punctuality and we couldn’t help but agree. Both of the cleaners who were assigned to us arrived on time and they were able to finish faster than expected. 

Even though they were quick to finish, it didn’t feel like they did a half-hearted job. This just supports our initial thought that they were efficient.

Moreover, they’ve been in the business since 1975. This assures us that they know what they’re doing inside and out. 

Aside from dryer vent cleaning, they also offer several cleaning services for air ducts, boilers, chimneys, and AC & furnaces. 

One thing we’d like to note though is that there were a few reports about them giving an incorrect quote, with the final price being much higher than what was initially agreed upon.

While we think this is something to consider, this could also be because they had to do a lot more heavy work than what was expected. 

Overall, we were quite satisfied with our experience with Willard Power Vac and we don’t mind coming back the next time we need our dryer vents cleaned. 

What we love about the Dryer Vent Wizard is how they were clear about the process of cleaning beforehand. 

First, the technician will inspect to evaluate your dryer vent system. After doing so, they will recommend the best service suited for you. 

They will also need to measure the airflow and back pressure so that they can also evaluate the gravity of the blockage and other problem sources. 

They will then remove any materials that may be clogging your dryer vent. Since they often find things that might be the source of harmful bacteria or viruses, they will also sanitize the area. 

For dryer vent lines that are 35 ft or longer, it is expected that there’s a booster fan installed. It should also be cleaned at least annually with the dryer vent system. 

The final step is where they also clean the lint screen thoroughly to increase airflow. 

We also want to mention that we’ve received a lot of reviews about their technicians. They were friendly, punctual, and efficient. 

Our experience with them was similar. Their technicians arrived at the said time. They were well-organized with their equipment.

We do recommend scheduling them in the afternoon because the vacuum can get pretty loud. 

We want to note that there were also negative reviews regarding the incorrect quote. We understand that it could get quite frustrating suddenly being charged much larger than expected, so you might want to consider that.

Nevertheless, we still recommend them because their technicians are highly trained and knowledgeable. 

This local family-owned cleaning service has been around since 1988. Their expertise is in commercial and residential HVAC cleaning. This includes systems that were destroyed because of mold, bacteria, and odors.

Their technicians have more than 50 years of experience, so you can trust that they know how to handle their job well.  They also seem to have a reputation for doing grueling jobs that other companies decline or simply can’t do.

What we love about them is how fast they do their jobs. They went in with complete tools and were done in less than an hour and it didn’t look like they missed a spot.

We can confidently confirm that it was quality work done by skilled technicians, which is in line with what we were told to expect by their past customers. 

Their past clients also told us that their technicians were friendly and knowledgeable. They said the workers explained the job extensively before starting, which we also experienced.  

Having said that, we do think it’s somewhat inconvenient that they have no emergency or even weekend services. Better availability is always a plus.

What we love most about American Chimney & Masonry is that they abide by 7 consumer protection policies.

This entails that they must provide you with the following: 

• a business license where it states they’ve been in business under the same name for 5 years or more, 
• a Better Business Bureau written statement, 
• references from previous customers, 
• certificates of standing,
• certifications from the Chimney Safety Institute of America, 
• a general liability insurance certificate, 
• and a surety bonded and supplier status letter. 

They say that they’re the only chimney repair company in Greater Portland that has this protection policy. This ensures that you’re getting the most out of what you paid for while being sure you’re being served with integrity. 

What other customers say they love about the company is how jobs run without a hitch. They come in, address the concerns, and everything’s done before you know it.

A lot of them also told us that working with the company hasn’t been time-consuming because the workmen also managed to do their job very quickly. 

However, there were quite a few complaints about them not answering their calls. This might be something to consider if you’re looking for someone to address your urgent concerns. 

They may have improved their recent customer service, so don’t cross them out of your list entirely. 

The last on our list of best dryer vent cleaning services in Portland is COIT Cleaning and Restoration.

This IICRC-certified company has been around for 70 years. 

To get rid of dangerous pathogens, they use commercial-grade, EPA-Registered disinfectants. 

Aside from dry vents, they also clean air ducts, carpets, stones, area rugs, tile and grouts, wood floors, upholsteries, drapery, and blinds. 

They also do restoration and emergency services for fire and smoke damage, molds, and water damage. 

What we and their past customers also love is that they have 24/7 help available, so you can call them anytime. How handy is that? 

We were quite pleased with their thorough work and others seemed to agree with us. There were a few who had their carpets cleaned and mentioned how they looked good as new. 

The quality of work done was impressive. 

They are also accommodating and willing to compromise when it comes to their customers’ schedules, so you don’t have to worry about having a hard time finding the time. 

There were a few reports about them not showing up to jobs. However, these were all from jobs about a year ago, so they may have already worked on this. 

Nevertheless, we recommend COIT Cleaning and Restoration who are looking for someone who can do thorough work and also does restoration and emergency services.
