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 Aberdeen, MD
Air duct cleaning in Aberdeen, MD typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and should be scheduled every 3 – 5 years, or sooner if you notice dust buildup, musty odors, or uneven airflow between rooms. The Aberdeen market is shaped by its unique housing split: post-WWII worker housing near Aberdeen Proving Ground and newer BRAC-era construction along MD-22, each with different duct challenges. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every job in writing before we start, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work for a full year. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Aberdeen Homes Are Different
Aberdeen’s housing stock tells two stories. On one side are the post-WWII single-family homes built for Aberdeen Proving Ground workers in the 1940s and 1950s, many still carrying original or lightly updated duct systems with galvanized steel or early flex duct. On the other side are the apartment and townhome complexes that multiplied after the 2005 BRAC relocation brought thousands of new residents to the area. These newer builds use modern flex and rigid ductwork that seals tighter but often hides construction debris from rushed move-ins.
The humid Mid-Atlantic climate here works against both types. Hot, sticky summers and cold, damp winters keep HVAC systems running almost year-round, which drives mold and mildew growth during the cooling season and packs dust mites and allergens into ducts during long heating cycles. The Chesapeake Bay and Bush River add extra humidity that accelerates microbial growth inside ductwork. We’ve also found that many rentals near APG have mismatched, DIY-extended duct runs from decades of quick-turnover renovations. The real job isn’t just cleaning, it’s spotting disconnected or crushed flex duct hidden in crawlspaces and soffits before it floods a unit with attic air.
Our Main Aberdeen Services
Most Aberdeen homeowners call us for one of these three jobs. Each has its own page with detailed pricing, local conditions, and what to expect on the day of service.
Air Duct Cleaning in Aberdeen
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and negative-air extraction from Nikro equipment. In Aberdeen, we pay special attention to construction debris in newer MD-22 corridor builds and to decades of accumulated dust in older proving-ground-era homes. The job includes all main trunk lines, branch ducts, and registers, with before-and-after photos of your own ducts so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Aberdeen covers full pricing and scheduling details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Aberdeen
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk. In Aberdeen’s older homes, we often find vent runs that were extended through multiple walls during renovations and now have sagging flex duct or bird-screen blockages. Newer townhomes may have longer vertical runs to roof terminations that collect more lint than horizontal exits. We clean the full run from dryer to termination and test airflow before we leave. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Aberdeen has full details.
Duct Sealing in Aberdeen
Duct sealing closes leaks in the return and supply system using mastic sealant and metal-backed tape, not duct tape. In Aberdeen, this matters most in the older housing stock where joints have loosened over decades, and in rental units where quick-turnover repairs left gaps at plenum connections. We pressure-test the system to find leaks, seal them, and verify results. Duct Sealing in Aberdeen explains the process and pricing.
