We had dryer vent cleaned today by two guys that were very thorough and courteous and cleaned up residue very well. I would not hesitate to use this company again and would highly recommend them to any and all customers. read more

Great service! They arrived on time . Worked diligently. We feel so much safer now after vents were cleaned and adjusted. Will definitely call them again! read more

Excellent response time and customer service. Doug's team came on time and got the job done quickly. Only one little problem: the dryer was level before they came, and now it rocks back and forth. Update: Doug called me when he saw the above and sent his crew back to level the dryer. Great service, and I'm updating to 5 stars. read more

We have a build up lint in our dryer vent, naturally I went to Yelp to see someone who can help me. The name Lint bandit showed up, but I was still looking until I saw their business card on Best Buy's Pacific Home sales area. I called them to arrange the cleaning. The technicians came on time, very polite and did the cleaning thoroughly. I would recommend Lint Bandits! read more

Great service!! Thank you!!! They came out the day I called and fixed my dryer issue. read more

We bought a new house last year and I'm fairly certain the dryer vent had never been cleaned since 1976. Ours ran down through the crawl space and had a couple turns before it vents outdoors. No way was I going to be able to clean it out myself. Phone call was returned promptly and scheduled just a couple days later. The guys called before they showed up and were very friendly and professional. No time wasted and they had it cleaned out in no time at all. Money well spent on an effecient and thorough job. I highly recommend them. read more

On time, friendly,quick to clean out all the lint. Dryer works better now. Thanks for fixing us up. read more

I decided to have my dryer duct cleaned, for peace of mind, not because of any decreased efficiency of my dryer. In less than 20 minutes, they pulled the dryer, cleaned the duct, reinstalled the dryer and cleaned up. Having removed half of a 5 gallon bucket worth of lint, I have the peace of mind I was after. Very friendly, very efficient and clean. Highly recommended! read more

Doug removed a HUGE bird nest from my dryer vent in a third story loft inaccessible from the exterior, that most contractors wouldn't have attempted. Great service. read more

I highly recommend Lint Bandits they came on time were very courteous and did the job quickly we have used them before and will use them again. read more

This is a great company with a great service. I echo the "on time, quick and efficient" ...and friendly! It is really an important service that is easy to forget. They called and reminded me it had been two years and they were just in time! We needed their service badly. read more

This is my first review, ever, for any product or service. I felt compelled to write it because the expediency with which they perform the job surprised me positively. The day before, I had my home warranty company service fixing the dryer. The dryer heating element burned out because the blocked vent caused hot air to overheat and burn out the dryer parts (I am happy it did not cause fire). Unfortunately, home warranty companies DO NOT cover dryer vent cleaning, so I Jumped on Yelp and chose the local company with best reviews, which was LB. When I called, no one picked up the line, but, to my surprise, Doug called right back apologizing for missing my call. Even though he was booked, I pleaded that I already took day off and would be great if they could come today. He said his team is nearby and, perhaps, they can fit me in - he would check with his team and get back to me by 10:30am. He called me exactly at 10:30am (a shocker for a contractor to even call back when they promise) and said they will be here in 20 min. The team showed up on time and completed the whole job in 20-30 min. They even asked me if I found them on Yelp, because I would get $10 off. From now on, I am their permanent customer! The only reason for not giving them 5 stars is because there were couple of small pieces of lint they left behind, which could have been easily vacuumed up, which I expect for a 5-star rating (advice to Dough to let them carry a small hand vac since the shop vac they use is too bulky for a small job). read more

Updated Review: Turns out they disconnected the dryer hose under the house and left it that way. I called four days ago and so far no call back. I requested the owner come and hook the vent back up. Disappointed.... Also note - they give a discount if you write a review for them. Changing my review from five to 1 star. Original Review: Submitted a request for service on their website, got a call back same day. Booked for following day. They showed up on time, very pleasant service techs!!!! read more

My dryer was taking too long to dry clothes. I thought I needed a new one, but after my appliance repairman, Scott, with Superior Appliance checked it out, he said I had a venting problem. It was still heating, but stayed moist. He cleaned out a lot of lint, but said he didn't feel air from the vent outside. He said to observe the dryer and see if the time improves considerably. It did, but since we haven't had the dryer vent cleaned since we bought this old house in 1997, we thought it was high time anyway. I called Doug and made an appointment. I was nervous about the rain today, but there was a break in the weather when his crew, Fred and Mary, arrived, so it worked out. I initially hesitated calling because I assumed they only serviced the Tri Valley area, but they came to Castro Valley. Mary and Fred were kind, funny, and quirky. They did a thorough job. I always research jobs to be done at home, and I thought perhaps I could tackle this one myself. But after considering that I need to buy a vent cleaning kit, a bigger and stronger shop vac, and have the skill to clean a vent ( I mean you can watch all the YouTube videos all day long and still won't get it), I thought, forget it. Hire a professional. I'm glad we did. If I didn't know what it was, the lint Fred removed from the outside vent looked like a wet, dead cat; it was that much. Mary worked inside and vacuumed up from the inside vent. Many thanks to Doug and his crew. We will call again for dryer vent cleaning next time and for a gutter cleaning in the future. read more

Initial quick response within 24 hrs. of call. Friendly and business like. Thorough on the initial clean up of accumulated debris's,but was charged extra for gutters to be washed out ! I assumed "Gutter Cleaning " meant removal of debris's and follow thru with flushing of all down spouts. Would have appreciated an up front discussion of entire process and any additional cost that may occur before starting operation. read more

After spending several months enduring the constant noise of several birds living in the eaves of my home, I decided to search for a company to handle the issue. Doug at DGC proved to be the most responsive in meeting me to complimentary survey the situation and propose a competitively priced solution. His crew went to work the same week and were very professional throughout the job as they removed the nests and installed deterring hardware to prevent future nesting. Doug was patient and answered all my questions before and during the process. In addition, his staff was flexible enough to also clean out my dryer vent as a last minute request. Overall, the work was efficiently performed around my schedule with a final bill that beat out several other quotes I received in the Tri Valley area. I highly recommend DGC Services. read more

So long story short, my dryer wasn't heating up and was getting old, so I bought a new dryer, which also didn't heat up. I had the sears people come out and check the new dryer which it was not the dryer but the dryer vent that was clogged. We like to use local people to help them out so I found lint bandits on yelp, made a next day appointment, and was completely satisfied with the results. The two men, Fred and Alex, showed up 10 min early,were clean and professional, worked on the super major clog, had to climb a steep ladder to get on our town house roof that is four stories high, and they never once complained. I would highly recommend this company to anyone! Thanks for saving us!! The dryer works great! read more

Thanks for taking care of our clogged dryer vent issue Lint Bandits, it works as it should now which is great! Unfortunately though, you damaged our wood floors, our NEW wood floors when the dryer was moved to access the venting. Being more conscientious of others property is a sign of respect, and would have shown a higher level of customer care. Disappointing, BUT, the dryer works! I would still recommend your company, and/or use you again in the future. I'll just make sure I have supplies on hand to protect our floor next time. read more

The price for the service was not listed on the web site. However, on the web site, I was directed to yelp for a coupon which caused confusion re: the total price. I paid $10 for $20 service, so assumed that was the cost. After job was done I was handed a bill for $180. I negotiated a cost of $150 but that was on top of the $10 I paid on Yelp.I should have checked the pricing before committing to service and recommend that you do so before scheduling. Less than a quart of lint was removed from my vent, so don't think it was worth $160. read more

Lots of lint in my dryer vent. Lint bandits were very Professional and efficient. I would definitely recommend them to everyone.

I made an appointment of Wednesday afternoon and was able to have someone out on Friday. I was given a 30 minute window. Love that! So tired of waiting half a day for contractors. Gary and Fred showed up on time and got straight to work. I have a long dryer duct. They did a great job and explained everything to me. I would highly recommend Lint Bandits. read more

To my delight, I was very happy about how fast I could make an appointment to get my air ducts and dryer vent cleaned. Super service and the quality of work was excellent. You team was extremely professional and worked efficiently while not making any mess!!! Thank you again! read more

DGC did a very good job for me. They charged a fair price without any hassle. They cleaned the gutters without flushing leaves down the rainwater leaders and racked up the leaves on the ground after their gutter work was complete. read more

The team set up fast. Very efficient, courteous and clean. They found the problem ( a bird), the origin of the problem (no flap at the exit wall for the air vent) , cleaned the lint, prevented another bird intrusion with a mesh, double-checked the back of the dryer. Well done! read more

I did my homework online and found Lint Bandits. I spoke to Doug on the phone and he was very professional and friendly. He explained the entire cleaning process to me and I felt confident I would be well taken care of. As expected the service I got was excellent and was done quickly. I would use Lint Bandits again. read more

Doug was very helpful and cleaned out my dryer vent. I even received a discount because I found them on Yelp. Very professional and I will definitely call him again when my vent needs cleaning next year. Thanks again Doug!! read more

I made the appointment online and they fit me in the very next day. Prompt, courteous and very efficient service! I would definitely recommend them to clean out the lint! read more

Fred and Ben were true professionals! They did a great job however in our case, we had a lot of water mixed with our lint in the connecting ducting to the outside of our house. The heating element of our dryer wasn't working and Fred pointed this out to us. We need to fix that and dry out our ducting and Fred told us how to do that as well. Yes, definitely, we highly recommend DGC services. Louis and Jane read more

Super fast response to my yelp inquiry and follow-up to subsequent questions. On-time and efficient. Valued their opinion and expertise.

Pigeons are a serious health hazard and can do real damage to your house. At our prior residence we had serious pigeon problems and we spent a large sum of money to clean and pigeon proof (largely thru use of hot foot glue) . After we moved we initially were glad that the design of the house made it less prone to pigeon problems ;however, after installation of solar panels they found a place to live. Doug came out and offered a custom application and the pigeons disappeared quickly before any real damage. What impressed me most was not just his thoughtful custom installation, but when he ran into problems he didn't charge me more as he stuck with his original estimate and followed thru to get it done right. read more

The team was here at the exact time to clean out my dryer vent - they were courteous, polite and quick to perform the task. I will use them again for sure ! read more

Wow. When I was told how much it would cost to clean the dryer vent, I was skeptical but not only was it thoroughly cleaned, the owner (Doug) & his employees went above & beyond to rectify another problem that came up, communicated with neighbors on my behalf, went to obtain the part AND the owner came back himself the very next day to complete the job on a Sunday. The communication was absolutely stellar & I am extremely impressed with their level of customer service & follow through. Thank you Doug & staff! One less stress handled. :) I highly recommend this company. read more

Doug and his team are always fantastic to work with. They send reminders each year, are usually available within a day or two, show up when scheduled, and leave no mess whatsoever. When we arrived home we couldn't even tell they had been there. Dennis scheduled the work for us this year, and was very prompt and thorough in his communication. I highly recommend their services. read more

They were low cost, fast, and reliable! I would definitely use this place again to get my vents cleared out!

Doug was very professional and super responsive. Would highly recommend him for bird proofing and solar panels cleaning services.

Doug and his crew came and cleaned out my dryer vents. My dryer is again working and drying my clean clothes fast HE. Fred and his co workers where very nice and did their job. I would recommend these guys to anyone. In fact I did recommend them to my neighbor who was having the same problem. read more

Great service!! Staff was knowledgeable and efficient. Will call them again when I need another cleaning.

On time, friendly, fair price and got the job done! Quick appointment and would recommend using them if you need service in Bay Area. They even accommodated the fact are street was being replaced and they had to come from a different street. read more

These guys are the best. Obviously have tons of experience.. they do an amazing, professional job, in such short amount of time. Not to mention, they're very affordable. I HIGHLY recommend! read more
