Full Vent Rebuild & Replacement in Boerne, TX
Vinyl and foil flex inside walls, corroded seams, crushed sections behind the drywall, joints held by screws that snag a fresh layer of lint every load — some ducts are past saving. We remove the old run entirely and rebuild it in smooth rigid metal along the existing route: sections joined in the direction of airflow, sealed with foil tape, supported so they can't sag into lint traps, finished with a new termination hood and a listed transition connection at the dryer. It is the difference between renting your problem back every year and retiring it. Before/after airflow readings document the change. Serving Boerne (3 ZIP codes, 20k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.
Full Vent Rebuild & Replacement in Boerne
A full rebuild replaces the entire exhaust duct — not just the visible ends — with new, code-compliant material along the existing route. It is the fix for ducts that are wrong by construction: vinyl or foil flex buried in walls, rusted-through seams, sections crushed during a past remodel, or joints assembled with screws that have been combing lint out of the airstream for a decade. Cleaning a duct like that is renting the problem back annually. Rebuilding it in smooth rigid metal, joined with foil tape and supported so it cannot sag, retires the problem: the new duct sheds lint instead of hoarding it and holds airflow year after year.
Local dossier · Boerne, TX
Custom homes are where standard vent assumptions go to die. Boerne's Hill Country builds — limestone ranch plans sprawling along ridgelines, metal roofs, deep porches — are drawn around views and stone, not duct runs, and the laundry room routinely lands forty feet of framing away from a discreet exterior wall. That's how a beautiful house ends up with a dryer run at the edge of what code and physics allow. Add metal roofing, which many crews won't walk and fewer flash correctly, and Kendall County's full cast of wildlife eyeing every warm opening, and the termination becomes the most neglected detail on an otherwise meticulous home. We bring the measurements Boerne's housing actually needs: developed-length math on the long runs, listed booster fans where no shorter route exists, metal-roof terminations flashed right, and guards that keep the wrens out without strangling airflow. Craftsmanship should extend to the parts nobody photographs.

- Airflow stays weak even immediately after a professional cleaning
- A camera inspection found crushed sections, gaps, or screws inside the duct
- The house predates the 1990s and the vent has never been replaced

Full Vent Rebuild & Replacement is held to published national standards no matter the city. Our Boerne crew builds to these and documents the work; the locally-adopted code edition and permit requirements are confirmed with Kendall County's authority on every job.
- IRC M1502 — Dryer exhaust ducts must be smooth-interior rigid metal, minimum thickness, with joints fitted in the direction of airflow and no fasteners protruding into the airstream.
- Manufacturer install manuals — Dryer makers specify duct type, diameter, and maximum run for their machines — a rebuild is matched against your specific dryer's manual, not a generic assumption.

At Prime Dryer Vent Experts, a full vent rebuild & replacement is never guesswork. We scope every job from a camera vent inspection first — mapped route, measured developed length against IRC M1502, and airflow readings — so the work is matched to what your duct actually needs, with the report to prove it.

How a job runs
Scope and access plan
Using camera findings, we map the failed run and plan the minimum wall or ceiling access needed to replace it cleanly.
Removal
The old duct comes out in full — flex, failed sections, illegal materials — and is hauled away, not abandoned in the cavity.
Rebuild in rigid metal
New smooth-interior metal duct is installed, joints crimped in the airflow direction, foil-taped, and supported against sagging.
Termination and transition
A new exterior hood with backdraft damper goes on, and a listed transition duct connects the dryer.
Close-up and verification
Access openings are patched paint-ready, airflow is re-measured under load, and the photo record is delivered.

Full Vent Rebuild & Replacement in Boerne — FAQ
My duct is foil flex inside the wall — is that really a problem?
Yes. Ribbed foil traps lint along every corrugation, crushes easily, and isn't permitted as the concealed dryer duct under the residential code. It's the most common defect we find in homes from the 1970s through the 1990s. Rebuilding in smooth rigid metal retires the problem permanently.
How disruptive is a full rebuild?
Typically half a day to a full day. We plan access from the camera findings first, so walls open only where the duct actually needs replacing. Old material is hauled out, new rigid metal goes in, openings are patched paint-ready, and the final airflow reading goes on your report.
Our Boerne custom home has a very long dryer run. Is that fixable?
Almost always. We measure the true developed length first, then take the options in order: reroute to a nearer wall where the plan allows, or install a dryer-rated booster fan (DEDPV) where it doesn't. Both come with the math and a fixed quote — you choose informed.
Can you service dryer vents on a standing-seam metal roof?
Yes. Metal roofs need the right footwear, fall protection, and profile-matched flashing at the termination — clamped, not screwed through the panel wherever possible. We service and replace metal-roof terminations routinely on Hill Country homes, and the roof access is itemized plainly in your quote.
What keeps getting into Hill Country dryer vents?
Birds first — wrens and starlings love a warm four-inch tube — plus wasps and the occasional rodent traveling the wall. A dryer-rated guard closes the door without trapping lint the way mesh does. If something's nested already, removal and a cleaning of the affected section come with the install.
Do you serve all of Boerne?
Yes — our crews cover Boerne's 3 ZIP codes across Kendall County, including Hill Country Village, Esperanza, Cordillera Ranch, plus the surrounding communities.
