2 guys and came and cleaned our chimney flue which probably hadn't been touched in years! We had just bought this fixer upper house and did not know what to expect. They told us what was wrong and were very honest by telling us to just buy a small part and that it would be easy enough for us to fix on our own. Appreciated the transparency! The price was right too! read more

I requested service on a home that my client is purchasing. David and his crew were on it next day when most people cannot book me for a month. They did a great job and we're highly professional. read more

Cal Duct Screen - New Spark Arrestor. - Air Duct Cleaning Near Me - La Mesa, California

I have never had my dryer vent cleaned so I didn't know exactly what to expect. David showed up right on time, and was very respectful of my house (my garage is full and not accessible from the outside, so he had to walk through my house). He was extremely careful to keep everything clean, which I really appreciated. I've had plenty of workers in my house that didn't treat my things half as nicely. David was quick to assess the situation. It turns out I need more than a cleaning... I actually do not have an exterior dryer vent and David advised me of multiple options for how they could install one. He explained everything thoroughly and was very helpful and polite. The pricing was totally reasonable and I look forward to scheduling the rest of the service. I would highly recommend Cal Duct Cleaning for any service they provide, as David was prompt, efficient, kind and respectful. read more

We arranged for Cal Duct to clean our dryer vent which had not been cleaned in 15 years. Ali came right on time and ascertained that our stackable dryer and washer are in a cupboard, so he could not roll the dryer out. However, he did go on the roof and cleaned the dryer vent from there and also cleaned behind the dryer and inside the lint trap area. He took care and laid a cloth beneath the dryer so as not to get our floor dirty. Throughout he was friendly, polite, and answered our questions. Ali did an outstanding job, and we highly recommend this company. Excellent customer service! read more

great communications, excellent and fast work! David, who did our work, was great. Recommend!

Second time user. The team was professional once again. This time they came out and did duct cleaning for the HVAC, Bathroom Vent Fans, Dryer Vent, and a Chimney Sweep. This was all after they altered their route after I realized I gave them the wrong address to come to. Will definitely use again. read more

This company was so easy to work with. They were quick to respond to any texts or calls. Communication was easy. The serviceman, David, was so professional. He took his shoes off without me having to ask, got to work right away, showed me what was wrong, and offered suggestions without being pushy. I would highly recommend this company. I will be using them again in the future. read more

Ali and David did an amazing job! They were efficient, came on time and very careful with the appliance as they did their jobs. Now I can use my dryer effectively. Thanks Ali and David! read more

TLDR; Ali is awesome! They're super responsive, fast to come out and prices are reasonable! These guys are awesome! They responded to me so quickly when I said I needed help! Our house gets pretty cold with the AC but we noticed in one of our rooms it wasn't cooling down properly. I thought it would be time for a vent cleaning, found these guys on yelp and they came out within the week! They're super responsive and so polite. Ali came out and he was so communicative and nice. They were punctual and quick. He did notice that my house needs more than a cleaning but he's willing to come out again to help with our issue! Blessed to have found this company during San Diego summer heat! Their prices are reasonable too! read more

Ali showed up on time and did an excellent job. Explaining what he will do first and showing each step ensuring that the duct is cleaned. Once done, he verified that the air flow is good from our dryer vent and thankful for his professional and kind service. read more

Ali was on time and did a great job. Was able to come on a Saturday. Definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

The service was outstanding and the prices was very good. Everything from setting up the appt. To the work being done was quality . The gentleman cleaned my dryer vent from the dryer to the roof and my dryer is working great now. I highly recommend this company . read more

I was happy that they offered next day service to clean and sweep my wood stove! I was able to choose the hour I wanted. Ali was great. Skilled, professional, and friendly. He did a superior job on my wood stove, and it didn't cost me a bundle. read more

excellen, affordable service! Ali showed up on time and was a pleasure to deal with. I appreciate the before and after picture inspection and seeing all the dust and dirt that came out my systems. I will get this on the calendar and will do on a regular basis. Prior, I've used three different services that I don't even remember, but I'm gonna use these guys going forward. read more

Ali is absolutely amazing! Super personable and proud of his work with strong work ethic! Highly recommend!

We had our fireplace and chimney cleaned and inspected a few years back by Cal Duct and we were thrilled with their service, price, and responsiveness. Now, as we just moved, I called them again to schedule a cleaning for our new chimney. I was happy to see that the same technician, Max, was assigned to come out. On the scheduled day, nobody showed up at the scheduled time. UPDATE: After posting my original review, Lex (the owner) called me within an hour to apologize for the staffing mixup on the day of my appointment. He was honest and transparent about what went wrong, and he accommodated it to make it right. I am happy to update my review and rating because of the personal attention provided by an owner who clearly cares about his business and his customers. read more

Cal Duct Screen was great! They were quick to communicate, arrived on time and finished quickly. Would recommend to anybody.

We needed our chimney cleaned/inspected and Ali was great! He was on time and very communicative throughout the process. He recorded a video to show us other problems with our chimney that we need to take care of as well. He was thorough, friendly and efficient. read more

Had an appointment, never showed, no courtesy message to say they were running late. Bad business practice.

Ali and Team from Cal Duct were responsive, on time, personable and very thorough. I embarrassingly went years without getting my dryer vent cleaned. Cal Duct discovered the vent was impossibly clogged, killing my dryer slowly and had developed into a fire hazard. I greatly appreciate their professionalism and would recommend their services without any hesitation. read more

Updated 7/1/2021 Frank called and deeply apologized for the bad experience and poor equipment used during the visit. He told me the equipment being used in San Diego is updated now for better service effectiveness. He also offered discount on the service. read more

Professional service that beats competitors prices. Called and was able to get a same day apt as opposed to competitors who are booking 2 weeks to a month out. Was quoted a Yelp price of $169 for one fireplace cleaning plus inspection and free dryer vent inspection. The average competitor was $200 minimum and wasn't able to provide service for 2 weeks to a month out. Highly recommend. read more

Ali did a great job. Showed up on time, was very respectful and worked cleanly and efficiently. The overall process was very simple. Highly recommend read more

David responded immediately with a (discounted) quote for cleaning my chimney and fireplace. Answered all my questions. The next day Ali arrived promptly and completed the job efficiently and cleanly for the quoted price. I couldn't ask for better service and customer contact and communication. Highest recommendation. read more

Wow! Great service! Super fast, friendly and most importantly CLEAN! He did an outstanding job of draping the area around the fireplace to ensure the soot didn't cover everything. Also moved all of the furniture out of the way. He did a great job at getting all the mysterious gunk that was up there, living rent free, just waiting to burn down my house. No more. Everything has been evicted out of my chimney. Highly recommend for fast, quick chimney sweeping. (And no, they don't know Dick Van Dyke or hum the song with you. I tried ) read more

Cal Duct Screen - Here the stuff. Iccckkkky! - Air Duct Cleaning Near Me - La Mesa, California

I just bought a 18 year old house and thought it would be smart to clean the ducts. Omg! This guy came and I couldn't believe the dust and crap that was coming out of the ductwork. It was disgusting. Fortunately, he had a vacuum cleaning up behind his brush so almost nothing came back in the house. I also had him do the dryer vent and chimney while he was there. I couldn't believe the lint backup in the dryer vent, it was a fire hazard for sure. I'm definitely going to call them if needed again read more

Ali is awesome and very kind! They're super responsive and quick to come out. Unfortunately, I couldn't have them service our home today since we have a wood-burning stove instead of a fireplace, but will keep them inmind for the future. read more

This very un professional company came and rushed this job in an hour, dirt and dust everywhere and they tore off the duct covers and paint. After speaking to another company, I'm told they are supposed to be carefully cut and should not show any damage. I will not use them again. read more

Cal Duct Screen was able to come the next day after I contacted them for a chimney sweep. Ali was very professional, as was his assistant. I was impressed with the equipment they used. I never knew such cool machinery existed for cleaning chimneys! It took about an hour and they left the surrounding area as it was when they arrived. I will be calling them soon for other services. Thank you to Hank as well. read more

5star!!!! Prompt, polite and efficient. Done in an hour and a half. No mess. Highly recommend

Super easy to make an appt via yelp. I was able to make an appt next day. They came promptly at Appt time and quickly serviced our dryer vent within one hour as discussed. Our dryer vent has not been cleaned in years and at the end of the appointment, was blowing air out strong. Highly recommended! read more

Cal Duct Cleaning surpassed all my expectations! We bought the house several years ago and it was rented out the last 3 years. Pretty certain our chimney has never been cleaned. Max was on time, courteous and wore a mask, explained his process, and then got to work! It was fast and efficient and He even showed us a camera showing the inside. Can't wait to toss a few logs in this winter. We would definitely use Cal Duct Cleaning again. read more

Quick to respond and provide service. All went well and I would recommend Cal Duct Cleaning.

While I thought they did a good job cleaning our fire place after 26 years and our dryer duct, I did find quite a bit of lint in our walk way below the dryer duct. When we have had this done by others, there is never any remnants. However my biggest issue is that the employee parked in our driveway and left a VERY large oil spot there and I have texted and emailed and gotten no response. This is enough of a leak either he knew it's happening or his engine is about to die due to no oil If it weren't for that and the lack of response, I would recommend the company for services read more

We had an excellent experience with Cal Duct Cleaning this week when they came to inspect and sweep our fireplace + chimney. Within about an hour, everything was cleaned for a great price. They also didn't let any of the debris or ash dirty the living room at all. Great experience! read more

I reached out on yelp to schedule a dryer vent cleaning and I got a response right away. They had availability for the time I needed (a few days later in the afternoon) and I was able to pick a specific time instead of a 2-4 hour time window. Ali did a great job cleaning the duct and took time to show me where the exterior vent was on the roof. Would definitely use again! read more
