Roof Jack / Vent Cap Replacement in Highland Park, 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 Highland Park (1 ZIP codes, 9k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · Highland Park, TX
On a single Highland Park block you can have a house from the twenties standing beside one finished five years ago on the same lot line, because a substantial share of the town has been torn down and rebuilt this century while the rest has not changed since before 1980. So we cannot read a duct from the curb here. In the original houses the laundry was added long after the framing went up, often into a rear service area or a room over the alley garage, and the exhaust took whatever cavity a later carpenter could find. Those runs are usually longer than they look, and some of them exit onto an alley wall at a height where a delivery truck mirror has been clipping the hood for years. In the replacement houses the laundry sits high in a tall, narrow plan and the duct climbs to a cap through a slate or tile roof. Gas service is the norm across the town whichever of those two houses you own. One street, two entirely different jobs, and the only way to know which one you have is to look.
