Roof Jack / Vent Cap Replacement in Georgetown, TX
When the dryer exits through the roof, the termination is a roofing detail as much as a venting one. We remove the old jack, clear the lint packed under it, and set a dryer-rated cap with a damper that swings free — never a screened termination, because a screen on a dryer exhaust is a lint trap by design. The flashing is woven into the shingle course above it and sealed so the penetration stays dry through the next storm. What the roof asks of us drives the price: a walkable composition roof is the base, while steep pitch, tile or metal, and second-story height that means rigging fall protection all cost time. That number is quoted before we climb. Serving Georgetown (5 ZIP codes, 75k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · Georgetown, TX
Georgetown splits almost exactly down the middle on heating fuel, which means we assume nothing about what sits behind your dryer until we look. That matters more here than in most Texas cities, where one fuel clearly dominates. Beyond it, the housing story belongs to the last twenty-five years: the 2000s subdivisions and the newer build-out west toward Wolf Ranch and the San Gabriel. Sun City deserves its own note. It is a large and largely single-story community, which is good news, because most of those runs travel a short distance from a garage or interior laundry to a side wall rather than climbing through an attic to a roof cap. It is also a community where nobody should be on a ladder inspecting a vent hood, and where a slow, steadily lengthening dry time is the symptom most often reported to us. The small historic ring around the courthouse square is the exception, with routing that predates all of it.
