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 Franklin Town, MA
Air duct cleaning in Franklin Town typically costs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We price by the system, not by the vent, and we write that price down before any equipment enters your home. Franklin Town’s mix of historic colonials and mid-century homes means no two duct systems are alike, and our crews are trained to handle both the fragile plaster walls of 18th-century properties and the flex-duct runs of newer subdivisions. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Franklin Town Homes Are Different
Franklin Town’s housing stock splits between antique colonials and Capes in the town center and historic districts, and mid-20th-century ranches and split-levels in Franklin Heights and along Pond Street. The older homes present the real challenge: retrofitted ductwork threaded through original plaster walls, horsehair insulation, and unsealed balloon framing that leaks attic air into living spaces. In the Dean College area, we’ve found ductwork connected to original basement stone foundations where rodent nests and cobwebs accumulate in tight, irregular spaces.
Franklin’s climate compounds the problem. Cold, snowy winters and humid summers keep HVAC systems running hard year-round, pulling in oak and maple pollen each spring and mold spores from damp basements in summer. Freeze-thaw cycles create condensation in poorly insulated ducts, leading to rust and microbial growth that requires more than a surface cleaning. We use low-pressure rotary methods on historic properties to avoid disturbing fragile materials, and HEPA-contained negative-air systems to prevent dust migration through balloon framing. This isn’t standard suburban work, and treating it like one-size-fits-all duct cleaning risks damage you won’t discover until the plaster cracks or the dust settles.
Our Main Franklin Franklin Town Services
Franklin Town homeowners call us most often for these three services, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price, written guarantee, and a crew that arrives inside the window.
Air Duct Cleaning in Franklin Town
We clean supply and return ductwork, registers, and the HVAC cabinet using Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines. In Franklin Town’s older homes, we adjust pressure settings to protect original plaster and use portable HEPA containment when accessing balloon-framed wall cavities. Every job gets before-and-after photo documentation. Air Duct Cleaning in Franklin Town
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Franklin Town
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup from the appliance through the exterior termination, reducing fire risk and improving drying efficiency. Franklin’s mature trees mean exterior vents often clog with leaf debris and rodent nesting material, especially in homes with long vent runs through original framing. We clear the full line and verify airflow at the termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Franklin Town
Duct Sealing in Franklin Town
Duct sealing closes leaks in supply and return plenums using mastic sealant and metal-backed tape, not duct tape. In Franklin Town’s historic homes, we commonly find separations at retrofitted junctions where modern flex meets old metal duct. Sealing these leaks improves efficiency and reduces the dust and attic air that balloon framing pulls into living spaces. Duct Sealing in Franklin Town
