I am located in the gainesville area and looking for someone to help with a small project (seriously would only take 5 minutes to do)
i have a drier vent cover that needs replacing on the exterior of my home to keep birds out of the vent.  problem is that its located 20ft up, between the second and third floor of my home and i dont have a ladder high enough.  can you guys recommend anyone that would tackle this small job.

thanks,
Dylan

I've got a painter with a 32' ladder that lives in canton and would come to Gainesville

I would come up with a days work, though

5 min will cost the same as a full day when you factor in trip charges

And, don't put a bird screen on a dryer vent

It will just fill up with lint

IM me if you want contact info

Does HD rent ladders?

Also, look for a louvered vent cover.  Should be in the dryer exhaust aisle for about $10.

Hmm, I need a 40ft ladder myself.  My 28ft. is about 7ft. shy for some work I need to do.

This place is a bit of a drive for me, but shouldn't be too far from you.  And listen to Handy Dave, don't put any type of screen or mesh on a dryer vent.  The louvered ones mentioned work, but the plastic always cracks if exposed to sun.  I prefer the old type with the metal flapper.  

It wasn't clear from your post what exactly needed replacing to me.
