Our Story – A Passion for Venting
Dryer venting gets a bad rap. Everyone knows they need to vent their dryer, but builder’s don’t usually give them much space to do it. Even if your laundry room is big, the access to your venting might be zilch.
Appliance Manufacturers
Our founder was winding down a successful career in HVAC flex duct when a couple of major appliance manufacturers contacted him to see if there was something easier to install a dryer but that would still meet safety standards. After riding a few installer’s trucks, and bringing in his son to run the emerging company, they patented and began manufacturing snap-lock which made their way around the US installing millions of new clothes dryers safely.
Hello Builder’s Best
30+ years, 15+ patents, 1000+ SKUs, 6+ models of semi rigid aluminum duct, 7+ models of metal hoods, specialty elbows, close clearance periscopes and 3 facilities later (that is not a complete list) Builder’s Best supplies national companies with a wide range of venting products. It is our mission to provide quality venting materials at reasonable prices using American labor.
