Dryer Vent Cleaning in Weston, FL
Weston is almost entirely planned communities from the late eighties onward, with concrete tile roofs, strict associations and a lot of two storey homes. That combination puts many dryer vents on the roof, behind a gate, under rules about what the roof may look like. Cleaning runs $100 to $200, and we measure airflow at the outside hood before and after.
What we find most often in Weston: In Weston the most common failure is a roof cap clogged with lint on a tile roof, which owners avoid dealing with because walking tile is risky and the association controls replacement caps.
Working on concrete tile
Concrete tile breaks if you step in the wrong place. We walk the roof only where each tile is supported, and look over the tiles around the cap before starting so any old cracks are pointed out to you first. The cap itself is usually mounted on a tile flashing that has to stay sealed.
Once at the cap, we open it, clear the lint, and brush down through the attic run. Then we run the dryer and take a second airflow reading at the cap to confirm the result.
Association rules for caps
Most Weston associations require exterior changes, including roof penetrations, to match an approved look. A replacement dryer cap usually needs to be the same color or style as the original.
If the existing cap is the wrong type, a louvered vent that traps lint or one with a screen, we explain why it should change and give you what you need to ask the association. We do not swap caps on common elements without that approval.
Ceilings, moisture and long runs
Upstairs laundry rooms near the bedrooms are common here. When the roof run clogs, warm wet exhaust backs up in the attic section, condenses, and can leak at a loose joint. A brown ring on the ceiling of the laundry room or the hall below is a sign worth calling about.
Cleaning is $100 to $200. Repairing a separated attic joint or replacing a damaged section with rigid metal is $200 to $600, quoted after we have seen it.

Dryer Vents in Weston: FAQs
Will you damage my tile roof getting to the vent?
We step only where the tile is supported and check the tiles around the cap before we start. Any tile that is already cracked is shown to you first.
Does my association need to approve a new roof cap?
In most Weston communities, yes. We can tell you which cap we recommend and why, so you can submit it, and clean the existing one in the meantime.
My upstairs laundry ceiling has a stain. Is it the dryer?
It can be. A clogged roof run traps moist exhaust in the attic where it condenses. We check the run and the joints when we clean and tell you if a section needs replacing.
