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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Dedham
Air duct cleaning in Dedham, MA typically runs $350 – $650 for a full residential system and $800 – $2,400 for commercial jobs, with most homes completed in a single visit. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning dispatches crews to Dedham from our Boston office, and we’ve been handling the town’s unusual housing stock since 2004. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Dedham isn’t like neighboring towns. One street puts you in a First Period center-chimney Cape built before 1700; the next, a 1950s ranch with a forced-air retrofit that never quite worked right. That mix means every job starts with diagnosis, not just hooking up a vacuum. Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows what to look for: asbestos-wrapped ducts, crushed runs under original floorboards, horsehair plaster dust packed into returns. We price it in writing before we touch anything, and we stand behind the work with our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Dedham’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve earned our reputation in Dedham by showing up inside the window and leaving the site clean. The Garrison Standard requires it, and Roy Castellanos enforces it on every job. When you schedule with Hollis, you get a background-checked, uniformed technician and a written price that doesn’t move at the door.
Our Boston office coordinates scheduling for Dedham, so we’re familiar with local conditions: the road salt dust blowing in from Route 1 and I-95 all winter, the mold spores off the Charles River wetlands in July and August, the demolition-delay bylaw that can complicate any ductwork near the Historic District. We know which Precinct 1 ranches have the same crushed-run problem, and we camera-inspect before we quote so you’re not paying for guesswork.

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Dedham
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Dedham covers office buildings, retail spaces, medical offices, and multi-unit properties where code compliance and occupancy schedules matter. We use Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary systems to dislodge and extract debris from supply and return trunk lines, with containment protocols that keep your space operational during service. A typical commercial duct cleaning in Dedham runs $800 – $2,400 depending on system size and accessibility.
Code-Compliant Cleaning for Occupied Buildings
We work around your hours. For medical offices near Legacy Place or professional buildings along Route 1, we schedule after-hours or weekend blocks to avoid disrupting patients and staff. Our technicians carry written scope-of-work documents and photo-document the before condition for your records.
Kitchen Exhaust and Dryer Vent Integration
Many Dedham commercial kitchens need combined duct and exhaust cleaning to meet fire code. We coordinate both services in one visit, with a single written price agreed before work starts.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Dedham
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Dedham from Hollis include full-system source removal, video inspection, duct sealing, and dryer vent cleaning. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air equipment for containment and extraction, and seal accessible joints with Guardsman mastic after cleaning. A typical residential full-system cleaning in Dedham runs $350 – $650; duct sealing adds $200 – $500 depending on linear footage and accessibility.
Video Inspection Before We Quote
We camera the system first. In Dedham’s older homes, we regularly find disconnected runs, crushed flex duct, or original asbestos-wrapped pipe that changes the scope. You see the footage. We write the price. Then we start.
Sealing, Not Just Cleaning
Source removal gets the debris out. Sealing keeps it from coming back. In Dedham’s First Period homes, original duct chases have never been properly sealed at joints. We apply Guardsman mastic to accessible connections after cleaning, which is often the difference between a one-time fix and a recurring problem.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Dedham Homes
- Crumbled horsehair plaster in Historic District returns. In center-chimney Capes near the 1793 Norfolk County Courthouse, centuries of settling have broken down original plaster into fine dust that packs return vents and restricts airflow. Our crew removes it with controlled agitation and negative pressure, then inspects for structural damage.
- Crushed or disconnected runs in Precinct 1 and Riverdale ranches. The 1950s – 60s forced-air retrofits in these neighborhoods often ran flexible duct under original floorboards where it got flattened by time or foot traffic. Camera inspection during cleaning finds the break; we reconnect and seal with Guardsman mastic.
- Asbestos-wrapped ducts in gravity-furnace conversions. Dedham’s oldest homes still contain original heating infrastructure with asbestos insulation on ductwork. We identify it, follow proper abatement protocols, and coordinate with licensed remediation specialists when disturbance is required.
- Seasonal contamination from Route 1 and the Charles River wetlands. Winter pulls road salt dust into returns; summer draws mold spores from nearby wetlands. Many Dedham homeowners call us thinking their blower motor is failing, when the real issue is duct contamination choking airflow.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Dedham
Dedham’s Historic District contains First Period center-chimney Capes and Colonials with original gravity furnaces, asbestos-wrapped ducts, and horsehair plaster that has crumbled into returns over centuries. Our technicians use lower-agitation methods and enhanced negative-air containment to avoid disturbing fragile original materials. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll walk through what your specific home requires.
Yes, if your property is in the Historic District or near the 1793 Norfolk County Courthouse. The bylaw can postpone duct replacement for up to 18 months, so we design our cleaning and sealing scope to extend system life without triggering demolition review. We know the boundary lines and will tell you before we quote. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free assessment.
Crushed flex duct under floorboards, disconnected runs the homeowner never knew existed, and decades of debris in original duct chases that were never properly sealed. Our camera inspection finds these issues during the cleaning process; we show you the footage and write a repair price before doing the work. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Dedham’s cold, snowy winters and humid summers mean HVAC systems run almost year-round, pulling in road salt dust from Route 1 and I-95 in winter and mold spores from the Charles River wetlands in summer. This accelerates buildup compared to drier or more temperate climates, and it means return ducts clog faster than in towns without this seasonal load. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
Yes. We clean office buildings, retail, medical offices, and multi-unit properties throughout Dedham, with scheduling that respects your occupancy hours and documentation that satisfies code requirements. Commercial jobs run $800 – $2,400 depending on system size. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written quote.
