Roof Jack / Vent Cap Replacement in McKinney, 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 McKinney (7 ZIP codes, 207k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · McKinney, TX
McKinney essentially skipped the 1980s and 90s. The city has a genuine nineteenth-century core, the blocks of Victorian and early-century homes around the courthouse square, and then a vast build-out that started around 2000 and has not stopped, with very little in between. That gives us two jobs sharing no DNA at all. Downtown we are working on houses that were never designed to have a dryer: laundry retrofitted into a back room, duct threaded through original framing or run along an exterior wall, sometimes still in the flexible foil a previous owner installed. Out in the newer subdivisions east of 75 and north toward 380 we are working on second-floor laundry rooms, long attic runs and roof caps installed once and never touched again. Most of McKinney sits on gas service, so the dryer connection itself belongs in the same inspection as the duct, whichever half of the city you live in.
