Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Richmond Heights, OH
Air duct cleaning in Richmond Heights typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single morning or afternoon. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we serve this built-out inner-ring suburb with crews dispatched from our Cleveland office. Richmond Heights homes aren’t like newer exurbs; most were built between 1940 and 1975 with original galvanized or early rigid-metal ductwork that was never sealed and now leaks conditioned air into cold basements and crawlspaces. That changes how we approach every job here. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Richmond Heights Homes Are Different
Richmond Heights sits squarely in Northeast Ohio’s lake-effect snow belt, which shapes when and why homeowners call us. Demand spikes hard in October and November, when residents are about to lock their furnaces in for six months of daily use and want dust, pollen, and rust scale cleared out first. A smaller spring wave follows, as families open windows and notice what winter left behind.
The housing stock tells the rest of the story. Post-war ranches and split-levels dominate, many with full basements where uninsulated rigid metal duct runs through 40-degree spaces. Some 1920s capes and 1950s bungalows still use return-air panning built into floor joists, a dead giveaway that the system has never been cleaned or sealed. Split-levels often bury the air handler in a closet beside the half-bath, which means our technician brings a different reach-and-vac setup than for the newer homes near the east edge of town. No new construction is resetting this inventory, so our work here is remediation and restoration, not maintenance on modern systems.
Our Main Richmond Heights Services
Richmond Heights homeowners call us most often for these three jobs, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price, written guarantee, and a crew that arrives inside the window.
Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond Heights
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machines that pull dislodged debris out of the home, not just deeper into the duct. In Richmond Heights, this often means working around original rigid metal with rust scale at the seams, or early flexible duct that has sagged in basement soffits. We photograph the before condition and the after, so you see what was in your system. Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond Heights
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond Heights
Dryer vent blockages are a genuine fire hazard, especially in older Richmond Heights homes where the vent run may be 20-plus feet through a finished basement or a soffit chase with multiple elbows. We clear the full run with rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools, then test airflow at the exterior cap. If the vent is damaged or improperly routed, we note it in writing before any repair work is priced. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond Heights
Duct Sealing in Richmond Heights
Duct sealing addresses the leaks that bleed heated and cooled air into unconditioned spaces. In Richmond Heights, we regularly find original metal duct with gaps at every joint, and return-air panning that was never mastic-sealed to the joist bay. We use professional-grade sealing products and verify results with a pressure test. The goal is to stop paying to heat your basement or crawlspace. Duct Sealing in Richmond Heights
