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 Arlington, MA
Air duct cleaning in Arlington, MA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price locked in before work begins. Arlington’s mix of 1960s-70s ranch homes, 1980s-90s subdivisions, and newer construction creates distinct ductwork challenges, from aging flex duct in hot attics to allergen loads driven by heavy spring pollen. We serve Arlington from our Boston office, dispatching crews who know the local housing stock and climate conditions. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Arlington Homes Are Different
Arlington sits in the heart of the Metroplex with a housing stock that shapes every job we do. Much of the town was built out from the 1960s through the 1990s, meaning ranch-style homes with original or aging HVAC systems are common, and many still run flex ductwork through attics that bake past 140°F in summer. That heat degrades the inner liner of flex duct, releasing fibers into the air supply and creating weak points where sections crush or disconnect.
The humid subtropical climate adds another layer. Hot, humid summers and mild winters keep attics damp enough for mold growth, while spring brings heavy pollen loads from oak, grass, and ragweed that settle into ductwork and recirculate year-round. We regularly find rodent damage and poorly sealed connections in older Arlington systems, problems that simple vacuuming won’t fix. Local technicians here spend as much time assessing duct integrity as they do removing debris.
Our Main Arlington Services
Arlington homeowners call us most often for three jobs, each with its own page and pricing details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington service covers the full supply and return system with a rotary brush system and negative-air machine. In Arlington, we pay special attention to flex duct condition in attic runs, since heat damage often reveals splits or collapsed sections once we start work. Every job gets a written price before we touch the system, and we photograph the duct interior so you see what we found.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington removes lint buildup from the dryer through to the exterior cap. Arlington’s older ranch homes often have long vent runs through walls or attics that sag and trap moisture in humid summers, accelerating blockage. We clear the full run and check airflow with a meter to confirm the vent performs before we leave.
Duct Sealing in Arlington
Our Duct Sealing in Arlington addresses the disconnected joints and crushed flex sections we find in so many local attics. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to restore pressure balance, then test static pressure to verify the fix. Sealing is often the better investment when ducts are dirty because of leaks pulling in attic air, not because the system itself is clogged.
