Local dossier · Boerne, TX
Out in Kendall County the fireplace usually has to hold its own against a view, and that changes how we design it. Boerne great rooms run tall — vaulted ceilings, limestone walls, windows aimed at the hills — so the fireplace is less a feature on a wall and more a piece of architecture: full-height stone chases, heavy timber mantels, fireboxes scaled up so they don't disappear at twenty feet. The town's German settlers built in rock starting in 1849, and the newer custom homes still speak that language. Engineering follows the ceiling height. A tall chase means a long flue run, and long runs need real draft math or the room smells like smoke every cold morning. Acreage properties off the gas grid run propane, which changes valve, orifice, and venting specs — details that get missed when a fireplace is treated as decor. Outdoor rooms are half our Boerne conversations, and Hill Country wind is a genuine design input for where a firebox can face. One thing we'll say plainly: a twenty-four-foot stone chimney is beautiful and expensive, and sometimes the budget does more good in the firebox and the mantel than in the stack. Every build, indoor or out, finishes permitted where required, code-checked always, and photographed for the file.

Why this matters in Boerne
Boerne is a historic Hill Country town in Kendall County — a German-rooted Main Street and luxury Cordillera Ranch estates. Period masonry repointing and clay-liner relining meet large custom-home fireplace work and rural spark-arrestor service. On every one, the hearth is the visual anchor of the living space — and we service it like one. That local stock is exactly why our Boerne crews tailor dryer vent inspection to the homes here — not a generic checklist.
The Boerne file · what we actually know
Boerne has about 7,820 housing units: 6% built before 1980, 79% since 2000; 19% heat with gas and 70% are single-family homes. Most homes here are post-2000 builds, where upstairs laundry rooms and long runs to the roof are common, so dryer vent inspection here starts by checking the whole run, not by quoting.

Dryer Vent Inspection in Boerne — FAQ
How often should a dryer vent be inspected?
Once a year is the standard, and more often with heavy laundry volume or a long run that bends several times. Clothes dryers and washing machines figure in roughly 13,000 to 16,000 U.S. home fires a year, with failure to clean the dryer as the leading factor, and it's usually the lint and the duct, not the machine, that catch fire.
How does a dryer vent inspection differ from an actual cleaning?
An inspection measures airflow and checks the duct's material, length, fittings, and exterior termination to determine whether cleaning or repair is actually warranted. Cleaning is the separate corrective step, done only when lint buildup or restricted airflow turns up, so paying for a blind cleaning with no inspection can mean paying for work you never needed.
What signs tell me my dryer vent needs to be looked at?
Loads that take more than one cycle to dry, a hot dryer cabinet or laundry room, a burning smell, and lint gathering around the exterior vent hood are the warning signs. Each one points to restricted airflow, which makes the dryer run hotter and is the mechanism behind most dryer fires.
Is flexible foil or plastic dryer duct a code problem?
It is. Code calls for rigid or semi-rigid metal duct; thin foil and plastic accordion duct sag, trap lint, and are a known fire hazard, and many aren't even listed for dryer use. The transition duct behind the dryer should be UL-listed too and kept within the manufacturer's maximum length, which an inspection confirms.
Does the inspection price include any cleaning?
No. The listed price covers the code and airflow inspection alone. If cleaning or a repair turns out to be needed, the cost depends on duct length, routing, and how much buildup is present, and you'll see it priced separately before any work begins.
