Normen’s Air Duct Services

All your 5-​star reviews are exactly correct! After making an appointment yesterday afternoon, Normen was at my house first thing this morning. He sorted out the problem with my dryer vent and gave me excellent instructions about what to do going forward. I strongly recommend this service.

I can see why Normen gets such great reviews! He is honest and a really nice guy, If you need dryer services, look no further. He’s the guy you should call. Thanks Normen!

He came out the same day, removed a nest and vacuumed out the lint from the inside. For an extra $ 15 he installed a new cover to prevent birds from nesting and the vent has extra large holes to prevent lint from getting trapped.
The only «negative» is he uses a 32 foot ladder instead of a 40, so he might not be able to do very high vents. Though my vent was 4 stories up and he handled it just fine.
I love guys like like Norm. From his accent I think he is from a Slavic speaking country, but I had zero problems communicating with him. Another American success story.

Fast on time and great price!

I had my dryer vent cleaned last week. The first thing I noticed was that shoe’s were removed before entering my house which told me that there was an awareness of customer service. As it turned out my vent was completely clogged include a birds nest. My dryer was taking forever because there was not place for the lint and moist hot air to exit. The vent which was a long distance was cleaned with a rotary brush and I was advised to get a new vent cover along with a vent cover cage to keep the birds out. Done. I was very pleased with the service. They were here for about 40:00 minutes and charged me just over $ 100. Considering that they won’t need to come back every year or 2, this was a very reasonable price for the service that was performed. I am no sure if they take credit cards because it seems that a check was preferred.

Hi I requested service on the dryer as it kept running, but didn’t dry the clothes, unless the same load was run few times. The clothes remained damp. So, after reading the Unilocal reviews, I setup appt. with Normen. He was prompt & on time. He has very pleasant & down-​to-​earth & honest demeanor, which is very important to me. He instantly knew what the issue was. He climbed in our attic & removed the wire mesh, which was completely covered with dryer lint, because of which the dryer wasn’t able to exhaust. Thereafter, he opened the dryer panel & cleaned/​vacuumed it. There was lot of lint gathered in the dryer. After Normen’s maintenance, the dryer has been running fine & the clothes drying as they should be. He also provided good maintenance tips. I recommend Normen to all my friends.

Normen is awesome! I arranged a group rate for 4 neighbors on our street, and he was very responsive to my emails. On the appointment day, he arrived exactly on time and spent over an hour doing a thorough job. He even attempted to diagnose an unrelated noise issue we’d been having with our dryer. He was forthright and said we would be better off calling a specialist. He then put up his ladder and climbed up the side of the house where the vent exhausts out, and pulled off the critter cage and brought it in to show me how much lint was trapped in it. It was shocking. He recommended replacing the cage with a double flap vent that would be less susceptible to clogging. I told him to go for it.
Overall, I was very happy with the service. He was polite and professional, and seemed extremely knowledgeable.

After working with Normen for my air duct cleaning, I will never use another company again. Very knowledgeable and efficient at what he does, and went above and beyond in my opinion in what I expect and normally get from other companies I’ve worked with in the past, all the while sticking to his flat rate. I had some vent covers that needed changing, most companies would have told me to change them myself, and that would have been that. Normen actually removed the covers that needed changing, I took them to Home Depot to match up to buy new ones while he serviced my unit. By the time I had returned, he was all done with the service, and replaced the new vent covers for me, all the while being very nice and professional. Like I said, I have found my go-​to for vent servicing. Thanks so much, Normen! It’s the little things that go such a long way.

Can’t say enough about Normen after his visit today. He was at the appointment early; he took time to explain things and show me smartphone pix of what he saw inside my attic; he told me everything up front before doing any work that involved cost to me; and he performed a small additional repair job that he felt was too simple to charge me for, even when I tried to insist on paying for it. Highest marks.

We hired Normen for our dryer vent cleaning. He was thorough and even inspected our air ducts for free. Gave us some great tips as well!

My dryer vent was so completely clogged that even though the dryer itself is working no hot air was coming through thus no drying was occurring. I call on a Thursday and was able to get an appointment the very next day!
As many others have mentioned before Norman is a true professional. He was not just on time he was early. I have a stackable washer/​dryer that is in a very small «laundry closet» in my condo. There literally isn’t a lot of room to work with but Norman made it happen. He explained everything that he was doing and showed me the HUGE amount of lint clogging my vent. He was also extremely clean and tidy even sweeping up my porch area where the vent’s exit is located.
I would recommend Norman to anyone and plan to use his services, when I need them, again in the future.

Honest, great price, great service. Wish all were like him. No wonder he has 5 star rating.

Decided to use Normen’s after seeing the Unilocal reviews. And yes, they deserve the 5 stars. The technician was very pleasant and did a thorough job. He explained everything as he was working. I will use them again in the future.

We just bought a new washer and was having it installed when I thought it would be a good idea to clean behind the dryer. I removed the flexible vent of the back of the dryer and saw gobs of lint. I cleaned out what I could but noticed that it kept coming and coming… I thought to myself that the entire run to the outside could be much of the same.
After a little research online and Unilocal review, I contacted Normen’s Air Duct Services online. They called me the next day for scheduling. Just like the reviews stated, the guys were great to work with and very pleasant and knowledgeable. It’s always shocking to see how much junk they get out of the vents. I’m planning to call them again today to work on my investment properties vents.
Thanks,
Mark Wilson.

I could not be happier with Normen’s service and I highly recommend him. Don’t wait!
My dryer had been declining in performance for some time and regardless of my cleaning the internals, attachment hose and what I could reach in the house’s internal vent system, the performance continued to decline. At times 3 drying cycles were needed. Then I did what I should have long before, I contacted Normen.
Normen arrived early, with a prompt phone call to let me know, and started right away. He cleared a bird and nest that I hadn’t found from the external vent and then went to work to ensure the whole of the vent system and dryer where clear of lint and any other matter. He was efficient, thorough, and charged exactly what he listed up front. Normen suggested I install a double flap external vent to prevent the birds from returning. No hard sell here. It wasn’t until I asked for his recommendation for an installer that Normen stated he would do the work. And the price was very reasonable and included parts and labor. His work was immediately successful and I have a very efficient clothes dryer now. Thanks Normen!

The crew from Normen’s arrived on time (actually 10 minutes early), explained the whole process to me, cleaned my dryer vent from end to end (even the outside vent cover; reached by ladder to the 3^rd floor) and even reconnected the vent pipe to the back of the dryer unit. They also provided advice on dryer usage and operation.
First rate crew, first rate cleaning. I highly recommend!

I made appt for today at 2:00 pm. I asked they call me half hour before they arrive. I got call from Norman at 1:00 confirming my appt and he advised he could come earlier. This worked out great for me. Dryer vent service was great. Got rid of blockage, birds nest and vent hose was adjusted. Very polite, completely happy with job done. I will recommend to any homeowner who needs this type of service.

They came promptly and cleaned my dryer vent. The gentleman pointed out I had a gap in my vent and he fixed it for me. The best part for me was when he pointed out that I had a hole going into our house where the HVAC guys failed to put foam. Hopefully he caught this for me before a mouse comes to visit!

Saw the Unilocal reviews of 5 stars and didn’t think they could be as fantastic as the reviews all claim. But — yep… THEY ARE just THAT!!! Highly Recommend 110%!!! Arrived right on-​time, explained everything to us, had a gazillion different tools from ladders to scrubby brushes to meet any and all nook, cranny and crevice and every vacuum-​machine known to man, so organized and efficient and they are wonderful in the area of Customer Service. Northern VA & MD folks — DEFINITELY worth every penny to have all our air ducts /​vents cleaned inside –n– out! Espec. the clothes dryer! It was very scary to see just how much of a fire-​hazard we had going here in our home. We’ll be sleeping better tonight for sure! :-) Thanks SO much, guys!!! You were AWESOME! We will be calling you again for our next place for sure! :-)

They were quick to set up a time to do the work, which didn’t seem to be the case with many others. Also the tech was very honest and showed me the inside of our HVAC prior to doing any work. He also checked the dryer vent but didn’t charge me because it didn’t need any work. All in all very, very pleased!

You made my day and trusted these 5 star Unilocal reviews, notice the total number of reviews folks. There is no scam here!
Wife noticed a funky wet dog smell in our bathroom vent a couple weeks ago, sure enough Norm showed up early no less and diagnosed the problem. He cleared the 3 birds squatting in our vent and cleared the remaining vents and installed screens to prevent further unwanted feathery friends. He also cleared the laundry vent and gave us some pointers to prevent additional cleaning calls/​fees in the future. He was spot on w his estimate, what really puts this guy in Unilocal pinnacle status is I was not there, but at work and he assisted my wife and was polite and funny at times as she noted.
After spending well over 1.5hrs and a very reasonable fee, he told my wife… in his thick Russian accent, «if I don’t see you again, you have nice life» :) — solid human being!

Normen was the THIRD dryer vent cleaning person to visit our home in the last 7 days. The first two could not service the dryer because it is A. On the second floor and B. Vented through the roof. They could have told me that on the phone but they did not and I did not know to where my dryer was vented. I live in a townhome!
Normen easily overcame both obstacles and miraculously my clothes now dry in 40 minutes! I highly recommend this service. I would give 6 stars but it is not an option!
Happy, Happy Camper!

After many unpleasant experience dealing with couple air duct cleaning companies, I decided to hire Normen to clean our townhouse’s air duct system.
Normen came with 2 crew members and spend 3 hours cleaning our townhouse air duct. Flat rate $ 259 for 1 system, including all vents.
They both took off the shoes when came in the house.
Normen clean the main air return duct, his assistant using vacuum to clean the floor vents. Normen follow up, after his asistant finished, cleaning the floor vents using air compressor blower. The job was well done and clean up well afterward.
It was a pleasant meeting with Normen and very happy with his work.

Quick, excellent, on time. Completely honest about what I could handle myself and what I needed him for. Had all the necessary supplies in his truck. Fixed pricing.

I wish all home maintenance were this easy. Called Normen’s a week ago and scheduled an appointment. The guys were at my door 10 minutes early and called me first, to make sure it was okay.
They were very courteous and took the time to explain things — Normen even spent extra time on the cleaning because he wasn’t happy with the air flow out of the dryer vent. There’s a $ 129 coupon special on their web site, but I didn’t even need to mention it – he offered up that price right away.
Never once tried to upsell me on additional services or make me feel bad for my very clogged dryer duct (hey, it’s been a few years). Turned out, there was a dead bird in it. Yeah, gross. They didn’t even flinch at this, so I asked what the worst thing they’ve seen was. He said once, when cleaning a kitchen exhaust, he opened it up and there was a snake inside. A LIVE SNAKE.
Yeah. I’ll take a dead bird any day.

Can I gave 10 — 10,000 stars? WOW!
After reading the reviews on Unilocal — I decided to hire Normen’s for duct cleaning. What an amazing choice! Unilocal — you steered me in the right direction with this one!
I had to cancel twice, and they were VERY accommodating! You leave a message and they call you back in a few hours, this I expected from reading Unilocal.We settled on a date of ⁴⁄₂₂ at 3:30. I totally forgot about the appointment and my wife was out of the house at that time. Normen called me at exactly 3:30 [he was in front of the house and no one was home] — I couldn’t get a hold of my wife and had to apologize and told him I’ll reschedule. He was VERY VERY nice about it and explained that this type of stuff happens, and he left. Luckily my wife called and said she was 7 minutes from home as soon as I hung up with Normen, I called right back and he was nice enough to turn around and come right back!!! Not a single huff or puff — this guy is seriously amazing!
My wife said that he went through all of our vents, cleaned everything, explained to her all the details and was very honest about everything. No nickle and diming, this guy knows his stuff, takes his time and is very professional and courteous.
He actually looked into why my microwave was not pushing out enough air! He climbed on the roof did a full inspection, took the microwave off the wall checked the flow and told us not to waste money by hiring a handy man to try and fix it. He said it was working fine.
Our dryer didn’t really need to be cleaned according to Normen, and he didn’t charge us for it! Even though he looked through it! $ 259, for the whole house — Cannot beat this price, for this service. Thank you Normen!
Sorry, but rarely do you find service men who know what they are doing, are punctual, honest, and really really pleasant to work with. Normen is def. a top recommendation for me and I will quickly refer him to ANYONE who is looking for duct/​dryer services.
I just really cannot say how much Unilocal!helped me out on this — great find! Use this dude — he is that good :)

Normen spent 3.5hrs at our home today cleaning out the ducts and also our drier. I cannot believe the awesome job he did.
Throughout his time, he would call me to show me things, and give me some education on maintaining the system, etc. The reason why I chose Normen’s Air Duct Services were due to his great ratings on here. I wanted to continue the trend as he is honest, hardworking, and did a great job.
I would recommend this service to anyone in need of getting their duct work and drier running to a great standard.
Our townhome is 2200SQFT, and it only cost $ 299.00. When making an appointment, they only operate Monday through Friday, but having to schedule working from home is well worth the service.
I definitely will utilize Normen’s in the future.

Normen is as honest, professional and thorough as everyone is saying on here. Normen and his assistant spent close to three hours getting every speck of dust out of my ducts and vents. He had before and after pics, which were a nice bonus He gave me some great suggestions about my hvac unit as well. I really appreciate the flat rate pricing. While not groupon cheap, you get a high quality service by pros who are honest and trustworthy and that is worth paying more for in my book. I cannot recommend Normen enough. If you need duct cleaning/​dryer vent cleaning or gutter cleaning, Normen is the man for the job.

I just have a service done by Normen yesterday. So awesome!!! He was right on time, courteous, polite, thorough, and honest. I was told on the phone when the inspection is done, usually the cleaning is necessary too, but when Normen took a look, he said my dryer was still relatively clean and all I need is some lint removal which he showed me how to do so that he wouldn’t charge a fee for.
I was so impressed by the service, so I recommended him to my boyfriend who was also looking for a duct cleaning service. I will sure call Normen when I need service again.
