dryer vent?
I need to create 2 vents for 2 dryers. One will vent to the roof and one will vent out the back of the house. Any suggestions as to who to call to do this job? I looked on Craig's list but no luck and have asked a number of people who have done work for me but they don't know of anyone. thanks.

Do you already have the dryers? If not may I suggest condensation dryers. They are ventless and work extremely well. Clothing comes out feeling slightly damp but within 1 minute of being out are completely dry. Also, because these are newer, all of them are energy-star compliant. I have a bosch and it is amazing.

OP here -- thanks for your response/advice. I've already decided upon the type of appliances that vent to the outdoors (for reasons I don't want to go into here). If anyone has had this work done I'd sincerely appreciate your recommendations.

I just had this done. I used A.Y.C. Group (you can Google them) and they did a fine job.

Follow on question, but does anyone know the rules regarding the placement of a dryer vent vis a vis the property line?

Yes, I'm interested about property lines and dry vents. The goof who used to own the house next door...bought it years ago and renovated over 20 years ago...stuck the dry vent through the wall of the house's extension so basically it blows linty, stinky, hot, steamy air onto our patio. The house has changed hands a number of times since we've lived next door and no inspection or other survey type service every brought this up for the new buyer.

OP again -- thanks for the AYC Group recommendation. I'll get in touch with them. Would you be able to tell me how much you paid and how extensive the project was (if you don't mind my asking)?
