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 Painesville, OH
Air duct cleaning in Painesville, OH typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Painesville’s aging housing stock and Lake Erie climate create conditions we don’t see in newer suburbs: original galvanized ductwork from the 1890s worker cottages sheds rust and lead-paint particulate, and lake-effect humidity drives mold growth in uninsulated crawlspace runs. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews from our Cleveland office to handle Painesville jobs with the containment protocols these older systems demand. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Painesville Homes Are Different
Much of Painesville’s housing is pre-1920 worker housing built along the Grand River’s industrial corridor: two-story wood-frame cottages and doubles with original galvanized steel ducts, often retrofitted with central air in the 1980s. These systems collect rust scale and lead-paint dust that standard homeowner-grade cleaning can’t safely address.
Lake Erie’s lake-effect snow and high humidity accelerate corrosion in galvanized ducts, while freeze-thaw cycles drive condensation inside uninsulated crawlspace runs. In the Avenues and Mill Street neighborhoods, spring flooding from the Grand River leaves ductwork in standing water, creating mold blooms that don’t appear in visual inspections. We use Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary systems with HEPA containment specifically to capture these hazardous particulates rather than redistribute them through the house.
Our Main Painesville Services
Painesville homeowners call us for three core services, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price before work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
Air Duct Cleaning in Painesville
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Painesville service addresses the full supply and return network, from the air handler to each register. In Painesville’s older homes, we pay particular attention to galvanized trunk lines where rust scale and lead-paint debris have accumulated for decades. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems with HEPA-filtered negative-air collection to contain hazardous particulate, not just blow it around. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Painesville
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Painesville service removes lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk. Painesville’s older two-story cottages often have long, convoluted vent runs through finished walls that trap moisture from Lake Erie’s humid summers. We clean the full run from dryer to termination with rotary brushes and inspect for proper airflow before we leave. The price is written down before we touch anything.
Duct Sealing in Painesville
Our Duct Sealing in Painesville service closes leaks in the duct network with mastic sealant and metal-backed tape, then verifies results with a pressure test. In Painesville’s retrofitted systems, gaps at 1980s add-on junctions bleed heated and cooled air into unconditioned basements and crawlspaces. Sealing these leaks typically cuts utility bills 15 – 25% and reduces the load on aging equipment. We price by the system, not by the foot, and guarantee the work for 365 days.
