Average Cost of Clothes Dryer Vent Duct Installation<\/h2>\n
Expect to pay between $140 and $275 for dryer vent installation. Most jobs include installing a waterproof exterior wall cap and flashing in vinyl or wood siding or in a roof and up to 15 feet of semi-rigid or rigid metal exhaust vent.<\/p>\n
In most cases an HVAC contractor will remove the old vent if it is beyond repair or cleaning won\u2019t help. They\u2019ll install a new vent duct along with the exterior grill and connect it to your dryer. Disposal of all old materials and cleanup is included.<\/p>\n

If the dryer uses gas, it also vents combustion gases including carbon monoxide. In short, a dryer vent is an essential piece of equipment and needs to be properly installed, maintained and cleaned seasonally for safety.<\/p>\n When the dryer is in a basement, the dryer vent typically runs through the rim joist, the easiest installation option. On the first floor and above, the vent flashing and cap are usually installed in the home\u2019s sheathing, and the siding is installed around it.<\/p>\n Time and cost increase when the vent is installed after siding is in place. The more rigid the siding, the higher the cost. For example, it is relatively easy to install the exterior cap in vinyl siding. The installation takes a little longer in wood siding or fiber cement siding and becomes quite difficult and costly in brick veneer or stone veneer siding.<\/p>\n This page of Business Finance News, or cost estimates of outdoor and indoor home projects, covers cost factors like siding types and more. There\u2019s a sampling of costs from other reliable estimating sites, retail prices for dryer venting supplies and costs submitted by homeowners like you.<\/p>\n Our statistics show that the average cost of dryer vent installation is right about $215. Homewyse places it slightly higher at $218, and Fixr suggests $200.<\/p>\n Our high end of $275 includes most installations. Home Advisor and Improvenet both set the high cost at $1,000, which is possible in rare cases when the vent must be installed through stone or brick siding or in a complicated roof installation.<\/p>\n These factors affect dryer vent price.<\/p>\n How much does it cost to install a dryer vent?<\/p>\n If you DIY, here are costs for the parts and tools you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n Contractors and handyman services know what they need to make per hour to be profitable. Most work with an estimate of $45 to $100 per hour based on their overhead costs.<\/p>\n Installation takes just a few hours. Here are specifics:<\/p>\n Pro Tip:<\/strong> Before replacing an old dryer vent, consider cleaning an existing dryer vent if the duct and vent are in good condition.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re comfortable with moderately difficult indoor\u00a0 home projects and have a good range of tools, you can certainly handle this project. We\u2019ve installed dryer vents several times, and the work is usually quite straightforward.<\/p>\n The one exception is that if you have to go through stone or brick siding or brick veneer, it is probably worth paying a little more to hire a handyman to do the job. Cutting into brick and stone is a pain and requires expensive diamond-tipped saw blades.<\/p>\n The most challenging part of installing a dryer vent is cutting the hole in the side of your home \u2013 and in the floor, if the installation requires that step.<\/p>\n The other steps are relatively easy.<\/p>\n Here are the basic steps.<\/p>\n This 3-minute video from the Home Depot does a good job covering installation steps, equipment, parts and supplies.
