The Duct Cleaning Specialists

Forget about Sears $349 plus $13 per vent, forget about Fresh and Clean $70 plus $8 per vent, forget about checking websites that makes promises but, (almost always) won’t deliver their promises because they know they don’t have to because no one holds them accountable. The industry insiders know the self regulated industry only works for them not the customers. We know that. We are not surprised. We know we are on our own. In a rare occasion when they do deliver – it usually means you have to dig really deep into your pocket to satisfy a tradesman’s appetite for charging an exurbanite amount of money for a standard work/procedure such as duct cleaning. So, it is with this understanding I’ve tried one more time to get my duct cleaned again – find someone who would do it properly and not break the bank – so I am hoping.

I called Paul Hannah after watching YouTube video on his website of an undercover footage lead by a local TV station to show viewers what could happen when home owners are fooled or defrauded by unscrupulous duct cleaning company. The video showed exactly what I was suspecting happened to me the day before. When I wrote the cheque to pay the company the day before I knew I will redo duct cleaning.

When Duct Cleaning Specialists pulled-up to my driveway, you can immediately see a clean and organized (both exterior and interior) company truck, arrived with proper equipment everything from the industrial size vacuum tube(as shown on his website) to paper towels and waste bin for garbage the job might generate. After I pointed out to him where all the vents are, Paul explains what he believes are the problematic spots and ways he would approach to clean my duct – he went to work right away.

I was pleasantly surprised by Duct Cleaning Specialists. I believe they are a rare species in an industry that can be very unforgiving at times. Paul charged me exactly what his website indicated - exactly. After I paid, he thanked for my business and left. For Paul Hannah, my house was just another house he helped cleaned, but his attitude towards his job and client, his business approach in getting the job done, the pride he carries in his work exhibited while in my house was more than any skeptic can ever imagine. Paul proved that there are honest, hardworking, decent, and fair people in his business after all. Make home improvements affordable, living healthy attainable to ordinary people like me.
On Homestars’ web profile, Paul has stated Duct Cleaning Specialists’ goal is working towards earning a place as 2010 Homestars Best Of’ award. Well, he has earned my vote.

I do not know Paul Hannah, I never met him until I Google search “duct cleaning” on the net. His work and professionalism are so rare in my experience that I decided to write this review to thank Duct Cleaning Specialists. However, don’t just take my word for it. Experience it for yourself.

Ps, Duct Cleaning Specialists, keep doing what you do best, you have a winning business model.

Had our ducts cleaned after doing the hardwood replacement in our new house. Paul arrived on time, explained the whole process to us, did a thorough job of cleaning each vent and left no mess! The whole process took just over two hours and was the most complete duct cleaning we've ever had. I'd have no hesitation with having Paul return in a couple of years to help us again.

Paul responded the next day to book an appointment. He did an extremely thorough job, the opposite of the last duct cleaning company! We'll defintely have Paul come yearly to clean our ducts and furnace.

Great service, very pleasant young man, very professional,courteous and knowledgable. Paul was at our home for just under 3 hours and and never stopped for 1 second. I felt very confident he was doing a great job. I would have no hesitation to recommend him to all of my friends and neighbours.

Paul arrived right on time. He was courteous and he did a great job in a timely manner. His price was very reasonable and exactly as quoted. He left our home with no trace (except the clean ducts)of any work having been done. Terrific!

We met Paul by winning one of his free tickets contests. While delivering tickets to our house, we asked him about the duct cleaning. Since we've done it with another company just 4 months ago, we weren't sure if it makes sense to do it again so soon. Paul just checked the furnace room and said that the previous company didn't do a good job and it would be better to do it again. We were a bit skeptical about it but since we had an excessive amount of dust flying around making our house impossible to live in we've decided to give it another try. While doing his job, Paul showed us all the dirt that we had inside the ducts and we were shocked. The amount of dust and dirt that we were able to see was unacceptable!!! We couldn't believe that we were breathing it all. The scariest part that we have a newborn baby who was also breathing all that dirt and it's after it was just "cleaned" by another company.... We are not sure what could happened if we didn't meet Paul... Probably we would end up tearing up the house and changing the duct system. We couldn't be more happier with the Paul's job. He is incredible person, very passionate about his job and customer satisfaction. Paul doesn't cut corners to save couple of dollars or to make a quick buck. He's very reliable, professional and honest person. Paul did an amazing job at our house, he cleaned everything the proper way and we can finally breath. I couldn't emphasize anymore how satisfied we are with the result. The air smells nice and NO MORE DUST! The difference between Paul and the other two companies that we've hired before is huge! It took Paul 3 HOURS to clean up our house. Whereas, the other company charged us some hidden fees, finished everything in 30 minutes and it wasn't even remotely similar to what the Paul was doing. Believe me, after seeing Paul working I can assure you that there is no way that anyone could do a good job in 30 minutes or for ridiculously low price. So, when someone calls and offers you a cheap cleaning service, think about it twice...

I would definitely recommend Paul to all my friends and neighbors. He provides 5 star service for the affordable price! With no doubts, Paul deserves to be on the "Mike Holmes trusted contractors list". The guy is incredible and I wish government had some regulations for the duct cleaning companies, so the good guys, such as Paul, had more business and don't have to fight in such competitive market filled up with crooks who's seeking a quick buck and doesn't care about the people. It's very sad that in todays market Paul and other good companies have to prove everyone that not all duct cleaning companies are the same and some of them are actually cleaning the ducts, not just pretending to do it. In our case, after two bad experiences we weren't sure if we could trust anyone again and almost give up. We are very glad that we decided to give it another try and finally found someone who knows what he's doing and wants to do it right from the first time. Thank you very much Paul for providing us with the clean and fresh air!!!

Today, we had Paul from Duct Cleaning Specialists come by. Wow, he was amazing with everything. Very professional, clean, and well spoken for his age. After all the reviews I've heard and read Paul is definately great to work with. He did a full duct cleaning, sanitization, and furnace cleaning and change all for a great price. I was soo impressed with all the junk he got out, and how clean he managed to leave the place after he was done with everything. I highly recommend him for all services, and especially duct cleaning services. Definately will be using his in the future. Thanks, Paul!!!

I had Paul come out and clean our ducts on a new house, despite the builder having their own company "clean" it just days before. It was easy to tell the difference between the shady job the builder's contractor did vs. what should have been done.

The job was done quickly, and Paul took the time to explain everything he was doing, and provide some pointers for maintaining our home.

I have already recommended his services to a neighbour, and will continue to do so if anyone else asks.

Paul was highly recommended by the company we purchased our new furnace from. He did much more than we expected. He was very punctual, polite and organized. He did a thorough job even though he gave us a special rate. We have had our ducts cleaned before but compared to what Paul did I think we had an expensive vacuum done. We will definately recommend Paul to our friends and family.

Single best experience I've had with a contractor. Paul was very polite and accommodating. Just looking at how well organized his truck was, I could tell this this guy took pride in his work. He was also meticulous about details such as ensuring that the hole cut near the furnace was WELL sealed after the job was done.
