I finally determined why my dryer was not behaving properly, and it was time to take care of my clogged up dryer vent system. Yelp guided me to several options to consider for service, and upon reading many reviews, I decided to contact Safe Dryers. I contacted them rather late on a Friday afternoon, but they promptly texted me back, and got me on their calendar. Saul and his colleague arrived at the scheduled time, and got to work. They vacuumed out a pile of lint, and exclaimed at the amount in such a short dryer vent :). They measured the airflow, and explained to me what the ideal airflow is, what mine was at the start, and what it is now. They answered every question that I had about the state of the system and how I should maintain it going forward. They were efficient and cordial. What else can I expect? I'd like to point out that Safe Dryers wasn't the first company I called. The company, which was referred by my appliance repair folks, wanted to come to "inspect" my system for a low fee, and then "assess" what needed to be done and provide an estimate on site. When I asked how much it would cost to clean the vent, which I knew needed to be done, this other company would not answer that question. They insisted on a $69 visit to provide that assessment and cost. Safe Dryers had a simple answer--$169 for a ground level vent, $259 for something 10' off the ground or more. I'm sure if Saul and his team found something amiss while they were here, they would have told me about it, but all I needed was that vent cleaning, and that is what I got. A bargain at $169. Bada-Bing, Bada-Boom. Thank you, Safe Dryers! read more

After getting a new washer/dryer, we discovered that the hose of the dryer hadn't been sealed correctly. There was lent all over the place and the hose was hanging on by a thread. Saul had come out to clean the vent back in July so I called him to ask what might have happened and if he'd noticed anything at the time. He came out the next day to evaluate and remedy the situation. He was very thorough, replaced the tubing and cleaned the lent mess, all free of charge! He apologized for the oversight (it was difficult to see that the metal attaching to the tubing had been warped and was therefore not fitting correctly). He not only took accountability but was very timely and respectful in his approach. This kind of high-quality customer service is very rare these days and it was much appreciated! We'll definitely be using Safe Dryers in the future and will recommend him to others who are in need of these services. read more

Service was fast and efficient. Any questions I had were answered. True professionals and very efficient. Get your dryer vents cleaned people! And give them a call! read more

Great people and terrific service! Highly recommend. Saul, Caleb and Monica are very nice to work with. Friendly and talented folks.

Service was thorough and good Thought it was pricey Took less than 3/4 hour cause he had unique equipment read more

If you're having dryer concerns this is the company you should call. We were worried our dryer vent was obstructed and got quotes from all different vent companies for an inspection and cleaning. We ultimately decided to go with Safe Dryer. Saul was very responsive and worked with our schedule. He arrived promptly and was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was no blockage so he changed the charge accordingly. He told us what to look for in the future if we were worried about drying efficiency and went so far as to tell us approximately what pages we could find the dryer test in our manual! Not sure why you'd call anyone but a dryer expert for a dryer issue. We will definitely continue using Saul's services in the future! read more

Better call Saul! Shout out to Safe Dryers, 303-593-0698. Here's the short version if you don't want to read the full story: Started out well: (easy to schedule), went well: (fixed my issues,) ended well: (no add on price games). Saul did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. Long version and suggested reading, since this might apply to you: a couple days ago, I smelled something burning while running our dryer. I turned it off immediately, (thank goodness we were home!). Called a repair guy. He came out, he showed me where the heating element had warped and shorted out. He explained this type of thing can be caused by backed up lint. So, called Saul at Safe Dryers. He thoroughly cleaned the ductwork from the wall at the dryer, replaced the flex duct that runs from dryer to wall. But here's the part you need to pay attention to: we had our roof redone after the hail storm a while back, and the roofers replaced all the roof jacks, including the one that vents the dryer. Now, a lot of homes don't vent dryers thru the roof, but our does. So, the crew apparently was not informed to remove the screen from the jack, (which actually is the code for dryer roof vents.) Here's the code:: Exhaust termination shall be equipped with a backdraft damper, and screens shall not be installed at duct termination (IRC M1502.3)." So, as you can see in the pictures, the vent was completely blocked. Hence the fire hazard, and the narrowly averted disaster. My dryer repair bill, which will top $400, was likely caused by the failure of the roofing company to comply with code. I now have been told by both the appliance repair person and Safe Dryers, that this is not uncommon at all, in fact, they see it every day. The picture I attached shows the standard roof jack, with screen intact, which is fine for venting bathrooms, etc, but NOT for your dryer, because, as you can see from the pictures I took of the screen after Saul removed it, it is completely clogged with lint. It's imperative to REMOVE the screen from the jack if its for a dryer vent, as it becomes a fire hazard pretty darn quick when it blocks up. So, Saul, at Safe Dryers, checks this from the ground with binoc's to see if he sees a screen and the resultant blocked lint, which in our case, pretty much almost caused a fire. Then he removed it. Thank you Saul! Conclusion: better call Saul! read more

See all

Saul from Safe Dryers is an amazing and terrific guy. He knows his stuff and has always done a high quality job of cleaning out our dryer vent; plus he gave good advice on how to restructure our vent where it goes into the back wall. He also took it upon himself to fix our back gate latch, on his own, free of charge, just because it looked like it needed fixing. He's a friendly, happy, knowledgeable pro who's incredibly easy to work with. Five stars for sure. read more

Overall great experience! Saul predicted what the problem was and was correct. He was quick, cleaned everything up and was personable. I will use him again and recommend to neighbors. read more

Words can't even express how great this company is. Saul is so kind and caring. Monica was able to squeeze us in the next day. Super knowledgeable and addressed our dryer situation in less than an hour. Dryer is now as good as new. Highly recommend and will be referring all of our friends and family to them. Thanks so much! read more

I scheduled Flatirons Duct Cleaning to clean my personal home as well as my daughter's home last week, initially we had some issues; however, Saul arrived at my home this morning to personally take care of everything. I could not ask for anything more in the way Saul took care of the problem. I will use Flatirons again in our personal home and will highly recommend him. It is not often you run into some who runs their business with such integrity. Thank you. read more

We hired them to clean the dryer vent at our home and to clean the HVAC ducts at a rental home, and they did an excellent job on both. They had a COVID scare with the technician who was scheduled to the HVAC ducts and had to postpone; happily he tested negative and they were able to get the work done a few days after the original date. read more

Our dryer vent was leaking humidity into the house when running. We made numerous calls for someone to come repair and clean our venting. Saul from Safe Dryers made a point to work us into his busy schedule and immediately went to work on arrival. He was professional, responsive and thorough. He arrived fully equipped to trouble shoot and solve our problem and to professionally clean the entire ductwork from the dryer to the outside. Complete repair and cleaning was done quickly and thoroughly. We highly recommend Saul and his company for your vent problems. read more

It was great working with Saul and his crew. They helped us with two dryer vent cleaning jobs and did great work. They showed up a day after I first spoke with them, arrived on time, and finished the job quickly. Saul even helped me with an issue that wasn't part of the cleaning which I really appreciated. We'll definitely work with them again. read more

The new house I bought has a funky smell, so I called Flatirons Duct Cleaning to clean the duct work. Before they even began their work they checked the vents to see how dirty they were - I expected the worst. They showed me pictures and told me I didn't need their service at this point but they would clean them if I still wanted their service. In addition to helping to identify the oder in the basement, the initial estimate I was given was spot on (# of vents). I was impressed with their honesty, integrity and knowledge. I would highly recommend Flatirons Duct Cleaning based on my experience today. Their honesty and knowledge is commendable. Will definitely use them in the future. read more

Flatirons Duct Cleaning, just had them out to my house and gotta say, have never had a company turn down a $500-$600 job for the sake of honesty and integrity. They took a look and said that the little bit of dirt in my ducts could be reached with a shopvac. They'd be happy to vacuum out my whole system if I insisted but it would be a waste of my money and just keep up with my filter changes. I knew the previous owners kept up well on the maintenance of the house so I didn't have huge concerns, I thought of this as basically something you should just have done to be on the safe side when moving into a new home. I read a ton of reviews on different companies and blog posts about the process in general. In our last house I just had it done automatically before we moved in, that company (don't remember the name) didn't even assess the situation, just came and did the work and billed me. Before doing some research I didn't realize that it was even a controversial thing but it makes sense that if you are maintaining your furnace and filters, there shouldn't really be any build up in your ducts. All this being said, I would fully trust and recommend Flatirons Duct Cleaning based on my experience with them. Quick to respond to the inquiry, fair in their estimated pricing and super honest on the job--shouldn't come as a surprise that that is what you'll see on most of their reviews. Companies like this really deserve your business and loyalty. read more

Sheduled a cleaning. They showed up ready to go and then had a closer look. They told me they would have a hard time removing my old head registers. They showed me a picture inside a duct to convince me that the ducts were already clean. I dismissed them. I didn't pay them. I looked more carefully later and determined that the ducts are dirty, they just apparently didn't want to have to deal with my old system. read more

Like the other reviewers, I had a great experience with Saul and Flatirons Duct Cleaning. First of all, Saul responded within 30 minutes of me asking for a quote on Yelp. He scheduled the initial estimate appointment as well as the tentative date for the cleaning visit quickly over email. When Saul came for the estimate, he told us that one of our three furnaces didn't require cleaning, which reinforces what so many other reviewers have said about the honesty of the business. The two guys that came to do the actual cleaning were both very nice and made an effort to keep things tidy during the cleaning. Best of all, Saul's prices were very fair for what we got. Monster Vac's quote for all 3 of our furnaces was 3x what Saul quoted, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have told us we didn't need one of the furnaces cleaned either. Definitely buy with confidence from these guys. You'll be glad you did. read more

When I requested a quote online, I mentioned my hvac system has a unique configuration. Saul reached out within 24 hours to offer a free inspection. He arrived right when he said he would. As I feared, my system's quirks meant he couldn't do the job - but he still spent 15 minutes answering all my questions and referring me to someone who he trusted could do the job. Giving up potential business to his competition because it was the right thing for a customer - but I wasn't even a customer! read more

I'm giving Flatirons 5 stars for their amazing honesty. When Saul went to the side of our townhome to check the vent, he came back shortly to show me that the vent didn't need cleaning at all- the landscapers had accidentally blocked the airflow with a ground cable, which had pinned the flap closed when it got stuck under the vent hood. He easily removed it, said the airflow was great and didn't need any maintenance, and left without charging me! It's so great when you find a company that's upfront like that. I'll definitely be calling them again when our dryer vent actually does get clogged. Thanks so much, Saul! read more

I will always choose a company with honesty and integrity over pricing... and that's why I will recommend Flatirons. As with other reviews, Saul came and looked at my ducts earlier this year. I was expecting the worst since it was a new home about 12 years ago when we moved in. Having raised 2 boys and a very hairy mutt, I figured there would be all sorts of stuff in the vents... and there wasn't! He showed me the pics on his phone, then showed me HOW to take pics on my phone! There was no reason to clean these ducts... but if there ever comes a time Flatirons will be my first call! read more

What an honest and great company!! We weren't sure what we needed as our heater was full of drywall dust from a basement finish. After looking at the ducts they were able to just clean the cold air supply and dryer vents. I was thankful for their honesty and professionalism. I highly recommend. read more

Saul was really great to work with. He's friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. He did a great job and educated us on what we need to do to take care of our dryer vents in the future. Will definitely use his services again and recommend him to friends! read more

I had a great experience with Saul at Flatirons Duct Cleaning. He was very quick with a response to my request for a quote, he got me scheduled quickly and showed up right on time. We had the dryer vent cleaned out and Saul did a great job. I immediately saw improvement in the dryer's function. I would highly recommend this company! read more

I'm glad I called Flatiron Duct Cleaning. Apparently our dryer is connected to the bathroom duct. Yuck right. We actually needed to install a duct for the dryer. I appreciate his honesty. Everything he explained just makes so much sense now. Like why our clothes wasn't drying well. Also I'm grateful for his patience with my dad. My dad has broken English. Saul listened and re-explained everything to him. Thank you. read more

Saul was on time, knowledgeable, honest and made sure my dryer venting system was setup better than when he found it. I would HIGHLY recommend him for your Duct Cleaning needs. read more

Great guys, very professional. They arrived right on time and went right to work. I especially liked the before and after pictures. I had them do the dryer vent while they were there and it was amazing how much lint they pulled out. The charges were very clear, and the email receipt was a nice touch. read more

We just had Saul here for an estimate on duct cleaning. He was here for about 25 minutes, and in that short time my wife and I agreed he is among the most honest, genuine men we have ever met. He showed us clearly what our ducts look like and told us honestly it was our decision to make because they were slightly dusty but not necessarily in need of cleaning. That kind of integrity is so rare anymore, I was kind of stunned; he did not pressure us at all to get the job, and he did not charge a cost for the estimate--wouldn't even accept a tip! Truly a pleasure to have in our home, when we are ready for the duct cleaning, the only choice for us would be Saul at Flatirons. Thank You Saul! --Ray and Lisa Vigil, Arvada read more

On time, courteous, and honest. These guys were awesome. I found them from Yelp, and was a little skeptical because they had sooo many 5-star reviews (I thought maybe they weren't all genuine), but it turns out these guys really are very honest and helpful. I moved into my house about a year ago; it's about 75 years old and I'm not sure if the previous owner kept up with general maintenance so I thought I should have the ducts cleaned just in case. They came by the house today for a scheduled appointment and arrived a few minutes early. They checked out my furnace and the vents in my house and actually recommended that I they shouldn't clean the ducts. They identified a few potential issues that might have resulted in their duct cleaning making things worse rather than better; and they looked at the ducts themselves and the air filter and said that everything looked pretty clean. Together we decided it was probably best if they didn't do the work. They didn't charge anything (even though they had to come to my house and probably spent 30 minutes checking things out). They were so nice I felt compelled to write a review. read more

These guys are as honest as it gets. Not only was the estimated price very fair, but when they came out to clean the ducts in our new home they took some photos and showed us that our ducts didn't actually need to be cleaned! read more

The world would be a happier place if people cared as much about their work as the guys at Flatirons Duct Cleaning. First, Saul was prompt and pleasant in communicating and setting up my appointment. I was on a waiting list for an earlier date, and he called back when an opening was available. The crew arrived on time and were polite, attentive, and funny. It's wonderful to be around people who enjoy their work. They covered the floor, checked all the vents, and were even pleasant about getting into the crawl space to access our furnace. From start to finish, everyone was highly professional. I can't recommend this local company highly enough! They take pride in offering the best! read more

Getting the ducts cleaned was the finishing touch on a deep renovation of a Rental House From Hell in Boulder. I'd never had ducts cleaned but Saul came out and took photos of incredible stinky "garbage" in my house's ducts, convincing me to spring for the job. When the guys came out they took more pictures -- cobwebs, dust, construction debris, candy wrappers, small trinkets, many unidentifiable objects, and, you probably guessed it, marijuana paraphernalia. They said our ducts were the worst of any job they had ever encountered. Yuck! An hour and a half later their high-suction machine had sucked all that garbage out, and they took a bunch of "after" pix. Boy do we now have squeaky clean ducts, and the whole house even smells fresh again. Definitely worth the investment. read more

This business role models Integrity and quality work. We had Saul clean the ducts in our home that we purchased 3 years ago that had many dogs living in it for several years. Yes, they were very dirty. Today, we had asked his guys to come back and clean the ducts since we hadn't had them cleaned again. They came in and the first thing they did was take a picture of the vents and showed us how clean they were. Then they went down to the furnace and checked it and also found it clean. They suggested we get a better heater filter to keep the ducts clean since we recently moved our dog indoors and they recommended waiting on the clean! Thank You for your Honest work! read more

I needed to have a dryer duct cleaned on relatively short notice. Saul responded to my request for a quote within minutes and was able to get me in for one of the first appointments in the morning. He was fast and friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to have him come back out in the future if I ever need any other ducts cleaned. read more

The crew from Flatirons Duck Cleaning just left my house after not doing anything. They checked my dryer and determined it really didn't need any service. Honesty - what a novel idea. Great crew. Thanks! read more

Saul was great. Showed up early (called first) Got the job done efficiently and was charged what I was quoted. Will have him back for my air ducts read more

I've experienced firsthand what all the rave reviews are about! I contacted Flatirons Duct Cleaning after seeing their exclusive 5-star reviews on Yelp, which is a rarity, especially in the home services industry. I filled out a contact form on their website and Saul emailed me back within minutes with a follow-up email and clear quote. They were able to schedule me promptly, and came by this morning for the appointment. Their communication was great, calling ahead after a cancellation to see if they could come earlier than scheduled. Jesse and Bryn came to my house to do the job, and instead of just barging ahead with the work, they did an onsite inspection of my furnace and ducts (with photos), and concluded that I didn't need any cleaning work on my ducts or furnace. No charge, just, "Think of us in the future if you need your ducts cleaned." Don't worry, I definitely will. read more

I just had the guys over to clean my vents, which have not been done for many many years. The service guys were on time, great, polite, fast, thorough and were able to answer my questions and show me what a mess existed in my supply and returns. We encountered a little hiccup but Saul took care of making sure everything was good by the time they left. I would definitely recommend them, they will do you well. The rest of the reviews point to their commitment to a job well done. read more

Extremely satisfied with the thorough efficient job that Jesse and Brent performed on our house. Attention to details and answered all our questions. Go with the real deal, not some with cheap coupons. read more

I cannot recommend this company enough. They are honest, fairly priced, and they did a great job. I hired another company last time I needed my air ducts cleaned and immediately had buyers remorse. I'm only recommending and hiring Flatirons Duct Cleaning from now on. Hands down the best in the business. read more
