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 North Scituate, MA
Most North Scituate homes were never built for central air, so our crew spends as much time diagnosing whether ductwork is worth cleaning as we do running the brushes. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we serve North Scituate with the same standard we apply everywhere in the Garrison Partners family: a written price before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Whether you live in a retrofit cape off Route 3A or a newer subdivision near the Scituate Reservoir, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate and an honest assessment of what your system actually needs.
Why North Scituate Homes Are Different
North Scituate sits in a pocket of coastal New England where the housing stock tells two completely different stories. The older homes, 18th- and 19th-century farmhouses and 1920s-50s capes and colonials, were built for wood stoves, oil-fired boilers, or electric baseboard heat. Many have since been retrofitted with flex duct snaked through unheated attics and damp basements to add central air. That flex duct pulls in fiberglass particles from degraded insulation, musty air from crawlspaces, and in wooded lots near the reservoir, rodent droppings. The new construction along Route 3A and near the Scituate Reservoir is different: tight building envelopes, modern forced-air systems, and ductwork that actually benefits from routine rotary brush cleaning.
The climate here doesn’t help. Cold, humid winters and nor’easter-driven moisture force HVAC systems to cycle hard, and the town’s dense tree cover holds humidity against foundations and in crawlspaces. We’ve opened attic flex runs in North Scituate that were lined with condensation mold from summer humidity hitting winter attic temperatures. Wood-stove homes without ducts still circulate fine particulate through living spaces, so even homes without central air call us about indoor air quality. A technician who knows North Scituate knows to check whether the ductwork itself is the problem before quoting a cleaning.
Our Main North Scituate Services
North Scituate homeowners call us for three jobs, each with its own local conditions and pricing. Every service runs under The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete by the book, leave the site clean.
Air Duct Cleaning in North Scituate
Our rotary brush system, built on Rotobrush equipment, scrubs the full length of supply and return lines while a negative-air machine pulls dislodged debris out of your home. In North Scituate, this matters most for the newer subdivisions with intact metal ductwork and for retrofitted older homes where we first verify the flex runs are structurally sound. We clean registers, returns, and the air handler cabinet, then show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in North Scituate covers full-system pricing and what we find in local homes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Scituate
Dryer vent buildup is a fire hazard, and North Scituate’s older homes often have long vent runs through unheated walls or attics where lint collects in low spots. We pull the dryer, inspect the full line with a camera when needed, and clear blockages with rotary tools and high-velocity air. For homes with exterior vents set high on second stories, common in the area’s cape-style construction, we bring the right ladders and safety gear. Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Scituate explains our full process and local pricing.
Duct Sealing in North Scituate
Leaky ductwork in North Scituate’s retrofitted homes can lose 20-30% of heated or cooled air into attics and basements before it reaches living spaces. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners at joints, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal. For homes with flex duct in unconditioned spaces, this often improves comfort more than cleaning alone. Duct Sealing in North Scituate details when sealing makes sense and how we price it.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in North Scituate
Probably not. Homes heated by wood stove, oil boiler, or electric baseboard without ductwork aren’t candidates for duct cleaning. We can assess your indoor air quality and recommend filtration or source control instead. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can help.
No permit is required for routine duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning. Duct sealing that involves modifying or extending ductwork may need a building permit from the Town of Scituate; we handle the paperwork when it applies and include any permit costs in your written price.
