Why Ajax pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Ajax's 70% natural gas mix drives which dryer vent cleaning scopes come up most. 4% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why dryer vent cleaning jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning actually costs in Ajax
Straightforward dryer vent cleaning on a typical Ajax home runs $165 to $265. Complex jobs — multi-storey access, heritage masonry, or downtown parking — push the top end toward $430. The variance is almost always access, not the work itself.
Line items to look for on a quote
A clean dryer vent cleaning quote itemises: labour hours, materials with brand names, dump/haul fees, permits (where required), and a written warranty term. Anything lumped as "misc" or "shop supplies" over 5% is worth questioning.
Common questions
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Ajax?
Yes. Condo boards in Ajax typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
What warranty do you offer on dryer vent cleaning in Ajax?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
Do you need a permit for dryer vent cleaning in Ajax?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Ajax. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance in Ajax?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
How long does dryer vent cleaning take in Ajax?
45–60 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
