Unit count and floor count is all it takes.
The quote needs two numbers
Unit count and floor count. That is it.
First and second floor vents are usually exterior work, laddered from outside, and they price at the volume rate. Third floor and up we work from inside the unit, and that is the only place stacked washer and dryer units come into it: a stacked unit we have to pull out from inside is $99 in place of the volume rate. A building whose vents all end on an accessible roof is the exception: those get cleaned from above at the volume rate, whatever floor the unit is on.
So the floor count tells us how much of the property is exterior work and how much needs interior access scheduled. The unit count sets the rate.
The quote is your count times the published rate. You can hand it to an owner and explain every line without calling us first.
Dryer vent rates
Dryer vents are the job, and these are the rates that make up almost every quote. The tier is set by total units at the property.
| Dryer vents | Per unit |
|---|---|
| 10-49 units | $79 |
| 50-99 units | $69 |
| 100+ units | $59 |
| Stacked unit, interior access (3rd floor and up) | $99 |
| Vent ending on an accessible roof, any floor | Volume rate |
| Laundromat or shared laundry, per machine | $65 |
The only thing that moves the rate is volume, because a bigger property genuinely costs less per unit to run. No commitment discount, and the price does not change on your second visit or your tenth.
Optional dryer vent add-ons
Per unit, and only on the units you pick. Neither one is part of the base rate.
| Dryer vent add-on | Per unit |
|---|---|
| Lint trap housing cleaning | $98 |
| Hose upgrade, semi-rigid, custom fit | $98 |
The screen stops only part of the lint. The rest builds up in the housing underneath, where routine cleaning never gets to it. The hose upgrade swaps foil or vinyl for semi-rigid aluminum cut to fit the space, and every connection we install carries our guarantee, so a joint that ever slips gets refastened free.
Other optional add-ons while we are on site
Not required. Plenty of properties add common area ducts, exhaust fans or the HVAC equipment because we are already there, which saves a second trip.
| Optional add-on | Rate |
|---|---|
| Air duct, per supply opening or return | $65 |
| Sanitizing fogging, per HVAC unit | $160 |
| Exhaust fan, each | $50 |
| Air handler and coils, each | $350 |
| Condenser and coils, full wash included, each | $200 |
Duct work is not discounted. How to count openings and what each add-on covers.
A worked example
A 150-unit complex on three floors. 100 units on the first and second floor, 50 on the third, and 20 of those third-floor units are stacked.
At 150 units the rate is $59. The 130 non-stacked units are $7,670. The 20 stacked units on the third floor at $99 are $1,980. Dryer vents total $9,650.
If the property also adds the leasing office and clubhouse ducts, 22 openings at $65 is another $1,430, and the clubhouse air handler at $350 and condenser at $200 bring the visit to $11,630. Same price the next time you book it.
You should be able to hand that breakdown to an owner and defend every line without calling us.
Net 30 over $5,000
Small thing that matters more than it should.
A property manager cannot cut a check on the spot. There is an approval chain, an AP cycle, sometimes an owner who signs off. A vendor whose invoice says due on completion creates a problem for the person who hired them.
Net 30 is standard once a job passes $5,000. Ask when you get the quote and it goes on the invoice terms.
The $500 minimum
Every commercial visit has a $500 minimum ($750 outside our core cities). Below that it is not worth scheduling around, and we would rather say so up front than take a small job and resent it. Any property with 10 or more units clears it on dryer vents alone.
What we do not touch
Individual systems only, not large rooftop units, chillers or built-up air handlers. What we do and do not touch.
Questions about pricing
Why does floor count matter?
First and second floor are exterior work at the volume rate. Third floor and up we work from inside, and a stacked unit up there is $99 in place of the volume rate because pulling it out from inside is the slow part. If every vent terminates on a roof we can reach, the floor stops mattering and it all prices at the volume rate.
Is there a contract discount?
No. One price every time, whether it is your first visit or your tenth. The only thing that moves the rate is property size.
Do you need to see the property first?
No. The quote is your count times these rates. If the real count differs, the invoice is the real count times the same rates, so every line is still one you can check yourself.
Do we have to add ducts or HVAC?
No. Dryer vents are the job. The add-ons are there if you want them done on the same visit.
Why is air duct work not discounted?
Commercial duct work means ceiling grid, access panels, tenants in the space and frequently after-hours scheduling. It prices at $65 an opening flat, with no volume break.
Do prices change by city?
No. A multi-unit property justifies a drive a single house does not, so the whole Phoenix Metro quotes at the same rates. No travel surcharge, no zone pricing.
