How It All Began
The Dryer Vent Wizard franchise system was founded in 2004 in the Boston area by David Lavalle, who also founded the Mr. Handyman franchise. The idea was born when Lavalle realized the need for a specialist for dryer vents. He had frequently encountered homeowners having dryer vent issues that required an urgent response, but who had no one to look to for service. The issues he commonly saw were the result of dryer vent lint accumulation, blockages, disrepair, or improper venting configurations. With such a great need for dryer vent specialists, the franchise quickly expanded into a successful business specializing in dryer fire prevention and energy savings through vent cleaning, inspection, repair, and maintenance for residential and commercial properties.
Our Growth & Our Future
Dryer Vent Wizard has now grown across the United States and Canada with nearly 120 locally owned and operated franchise locations. These franchise locations, although independently operated, receive national support from our headquarters, located in Irving, TX. Dryer Vent Wizard is a member of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) with franchisees across the country working with local fire departments to help raise awareness on how to prevent dryer fires. Dryer Vent Wizard was ranked as a 2014 Forbes Magazine Top 10 Franchise with an investment of under $150k and is on the 2019 Entrepreneur Top 100 Franchises for under $100k list. All of this adds up to a very bright future for Dryer Vent Wizard and its franchisees!
