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 Cheektowaga, NY
Cheektowaga homeowners typically pay $380 – $620 for whole-house air duct cleaning, with most jobs completed in a single visit because the area’s compact ranch and split-level layouts keep duct runs short and accessible. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every job in writing before we start, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, and our New York City office coordinates scheduling for crews who work Cheektowaga homes daily. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Cheektowaga Homes Are Different
Cheektowaga sits at the heart of Buffalo’s Polish-American postwar housing belt. Streets like Harlem, Union, and Genesee are lined with 1,000 – 1,600 square foot ranches and split-levels thrown up fast between 1946 and 1965 for returning WWII vets and workers from the nearby steel and auto plants. Those homes still dominate the landscape, and their original galvanized steel trunk-and-branch duct systems are now 60 to 70 years old.
Most have never been professionally cleaned. We regularly open plenums in the older sections near Buffalo Niagara International Airport and along the Cheektowaga-Buffalo line to find pounds of black furnace soot, rust flakes, and oily residue left behind by decades of oil-to-gas conversions. The returns often still carry original asbestos tape or crumbling duct board. Lake Erie’s lake-effect snow and damp shoulder seasons push HVAC systems hard, seven months of heat followed by three months of cooling. That cycle dries dust in winter, then reactivates it with summer humidity. Drier cities don’t see this pattern.
The short, straight duct runs do make access easier, which keeps labor costs predictable. But the age of the material means we inspect before we quote, not after.
Our Main Cheektowaga Services
Most calls from Cheektowaga fall into three categories. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cheektowaga
We clean the full supply and return network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for mechanical agitation paired with Nikro negative-air machines to pull loosened debris out of the home entirely. In Cheektowaga’s original galvanized systems, the rotary brush breaks loose the compacted soot and rust that settles in the low points of trunk lines, while the negative-air unit maintains suction so nothing escapes into living spaces. We inspect every job with a scope before and after, and we show the homeowner what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Cheektowaga covers full pricing and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheektowaga
Dryer vents in these postwar homes were often routed through short exterior walls, but additions and finished basements have created longer runs with multiple elbows that trap lint. We clean the full vent path from dryer to termination using a rotary brush and high-velocity air whip, then verify airflow with a meter. Blocked dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires, and Cheektowaga’s older housing stock sees more rerouted vents than newer suburbs. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheektowaga has full details.
Duct Sealing in Cheektowaga
Sealing is the most overlooked service in these homes. Seventy years of thermal cycling have loosened joints in galvanized trunks and cracked the mastic on original duct board. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners at every accessible joint, then pressurize the system to verify leakage reduction. In Cheektowaga’s oil-conversion homes, we often find supply boots pulling away from floor joists, dumping heated air into basements and crawl spaces. Duct Sealing in Cheektowaga explains how we test and what results to expect.

What pushes Cheektowaga prices toward the high end: asbestos tape or damaged duct board that requires careful handling, finished basements that limit access to trunk lines, and homes with multiple HVAC systems or additions with separate duct runs.
