Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across The Hills
A full dryer vent cleaning in The Hills typically runs $189 – $289, and on most custom homes here the real job is the full run from appliance to exterior termination, not just the visible cap. We work throughout the 78738 enclave, from Lost Creek Road up to the ridges off Flint Rock, with crews who know that a high wall or steep limestone roofline changes how the vent gets reached. Call (877) 644-8036 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you what your run actually needs before anyone touches a ladder.
Why Resolute Chimney Sweep Is The Hills’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
The Hills is not a tract-home suburb. Nearly every property here is a custom build on acreage, which means the vent runs, the attic chases, and the terminations are all one-offs. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team approaches each home as its own project because that’s what these houses demand. We see 1990s ranches off Lakeland Drive with long horizontal runs, 2000s limestone builds on Clipper Cove where the laundry wall backs up to a vaulted great room, and newer ground-ups on Bluffs Edge with stacked mechanical spaces. The common thread: few of these runs are short, and almost none are simple.
Homeowners in The Hills call us after noticing dry times creeping up, a hot laundry room in August, or a lint smell nobody can place. When we arrive, we trace the run first. No guessing, no assuming the cap is the only place lint collects. Brent Calloway built this company around that kind of follow-through. We quote by the run, not by the hour, and we send every recommendation with camera documentation so you can see the restriction with your own eyes.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in The Hills
Full-Run Dryer Vent Cleaning, Appliance to Exterior Termination
Most of the vent length in The Hills homes is invisible: inside wall cavities, across attic chases, behind built-ins. We clean the entire run, not just the first few feet. That means disconnecting the transition behind the dryer, brushing the full line, and verifying airflow at the exterior hood. If the cap looks clean but your dry times don’t, the problem is almost always mid-run. That’s exactly where we focus.
Rooftop and High-Wall Termination Access on Steep Limestone Rooflines
A lot of The Hills vent terminations sit where a standard extension ladder won’t reach safely: high on a side wall, above a retaining wall, or on a roofline cut into limestone. We bring the right ladder, safety gear, and a second person when the pitch demands it. Skipping these terminations is how lint plugs go unnoticed for years. We don’t skip them, because on these properties the termination is usually where the run ends its climb out of an attic chase, and that’s where accumulated lint compacts hardest.
Transition Duct Replacement and Repair
The flexible duct behind the dryer is a common failure point in The Hills, especially in custom laundry rooms where the appliance is built tight against the wall. We see crushed transitions, sagging foil runs, and disconnected joints that vent lint straight into the wall cavity. We replace them with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, properly connected and supported. The right material matters here. Foil flex in a wall cavity is a fire hazard waiting to become a problem.
Annual Whole-House Vent Regime for Multi-Flue Properties
Many The Hills homes have a wood-burning fireplace, a gas insert, and a dryer vent, all on similar annual cycles. We bundle these into one visit. While the dryer vent is being cleaned, we check the chimney flue and, where applicable, the outdoor masonry fireplace flue. One team, one trip, every exhaust path looked at. Homeowners who run gas logs or inserts in the same room as the laundry pay once for the inspection and get everything on record.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Hills
When a repair is needed, the component quality matters more than the labor alone. We stock and install DuraFlex liner components for vent and chimney work, and we use HeatShield resurfacing products when a flue needs restoration rather than replacement. For terminations, caps, and hoods we source from Copperfield and Gelco, professional supply lines that aren’t sold at retail home-improvement chains. That matters in The Hills, where a high-wall termination on a limestone face needs to hold up to Central Texas heat, cedar season, and the occasional hard freeze. Off-brand parts fail early. We don’t use them.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in The Hills Homes
- Lint packed at multiple elbows in long attic-chase runs. The exterior termination looks fine, so the homeowner assumes the vent is clear. Meanwhile the interior run has lint compacted at every bend, and dry times keep climbing. Our camera inspection finds these before they become a full blockage.
- Vent terminations routed onto steep multi-level limestone rooflines. A standard ladder won’t reach, so the cleaning gets skipped for years. We bring the equipment to access these safely, and we photograph everything so you can see what we see.
- Crushed or disconnected transition ducting behind the appliance. Custom laundry rooms in the 78738 enclave are often tight builds, and the duct gets pinched when the dryer is pushed back. That pinched spot collects lint fast and vents moisture into the wall. We fix the transition, not just the symptom.
- Pest intrusion at the exterior hood during idle seasons. Long dry spells leave vents unused for stretches, and wasps, birds, and dust daubers find the opening. A clogged or nesting hood sends lint and heat back into the house. We clear the obstruction and secure the hood so it stays clear.

AfterPricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in The Hills, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in The Hills runs $189 – $289, depending on run length, number of elbows, and access difficulty. If your termination is on a steep roofline or high wall, expect to be at the upper end of that range because it requires a second person and specialized ladder setup. Transition duct replacement runs $85 – $150 including the rigid or semi-rigid material, not foil flex. If we find a restriction that needs camera confirmation, that inspection is included. We don’t upsell liner work or masonry repair without showing you the footage first. Brent Calloway’s rule is simple: nothing gets recommended unless the camera proves it. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll quote your exact run before you commit.

FAQs – Dryer Vent Cleaning in The Hills
The lint screen catches only what passes through it, not the lint that packs against the first and second elbows deeper in the run. On The Hills custom builds, where vent runs are pushed through long exterior wall assemblies and attic chases, the restriction is often thirty feet downstream from the appliance. The exterior cap looks clean, the screen is clean, but the run is half plugged. Camera inspection finds it in minutes. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll trace your entire run, not just the first few feet.
Yes. Both move the same thing: hot exhaust from a fuel source. A chimney fire and a dryer vent fire share the same mechanism, accumulated debris igniting inside an enclosed passage. In The Hills, where many homes pair a gas-log or gas-insert fireplace with the laundry appliance wall, we treat the dryer vent as part of one annual whole-house vent inspection. One visit covers the dryer run, the chimney flue, and the outdoor fireplace flue if you have one.
Yes. We bring the ladder and safety equipment to reach high and steep terminations that a standard setup won’t touch. Skipping the termination because it’s hard to reach is exactly how these runs plug without anyone noticing. On multi-level limestone rooflines in the 78738 area, we send a second crew member when the pitch or height demands it, and we photograph the termination before and after so you have a record.
The first sign is usually a sluggish draw or smoke that hangs on the patio instead of rising. In The Hills, outdoor limestone fireplaces get more use than the indoor ones, and the flues collect soot, spider webs, and dust dauber nests during idle stretches. A quick look with a light won’t reveal compacted soot deeper in the run. We sweep the exterior flue as part of the same visit whenever we’re on site for a dryer vent cleaning, because on these properties the two flues are often within twenty feet of each other.
Yes. We inspect both appliances in the same trip. The gas insert flue gets checked for obstruction and proper venting, and the wood-burning firebox gets checked for creosote buildup, cracks, and cap condition. It’s common in The Hills for a home to have both, plus an outdoor fireplace, plus a dryer vent. One visit covers all of them. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll schedule the full round before burning season starts.
