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 Framingham, MA
Air duct cleaning in Framingham, MA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price confirmed before work begins. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our Framingham calls come from a housing mix you don’t see in most Boston suburbs: century-old triple-deckers near Saxonville, mid-century ranches off Route 9, and newer construction in the northwest corner. That variety means every job starts with looking at what kind of duct system we’re dealing with, not assuming. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Framingham Homes Are Different
Framingham sits on former mill land and wetlands, and that geology shows up in the ductwork. Many homes, especially in the Southside and Saxonville neighborhoods, have return ducts running through unheated basements or crawlspaces that stay damp from spring snowmelt and the area’s high water table. Summer humidity hits hard here too, so we see mold and musty odors in those basement returns year after year.
The housing stock splits three ways. Near downtown and Saxonville, 1920s-era two- and three-family buildings often carry original or partially updated ductwork that’s undersized and leaky. North of Route 9, the 1950s – 70s ranches and split-levels have short, low-static duct runs that behave differently under pressure. Post-1990 builds in the northwest tend toward tight flex-duct systems. Each type needs a different approach, different tools, and different expectations for what sealing or cleaning can accomplish.
Road dust from the Mass Pike and Route 9 adds another layer. Framingham’s position as a crossroads town means particulate load runs higher than in quieter suburbs, and that dust pulls into return grilles at the street level of older multifamily homes.
Our Main Framingham Services
Most Framingham homeowners who call us need one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full detail on pricing, process, and what to expect.

We clean supply and return ducts with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and negative-air extraction from Nikro equipment. In Framingham, we often find mold in basement return trunks and heavy dust loading in older multifamily systems near Saxonville.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Framingham
Dryer vent blockages are a fire hazard, and in Framingham’s older housing stock, vents often run through walls or crawlspaces that sag or collect lint in low spots. We clear the full run with rotary tools and airflow meters to confirm performance. If your dryer takes two cycles or smells hot, call us. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Framingham
Duct Sealing in Framingham
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of heated and cooled air, and in Framingham’s older homes with basement returns, that loss hits hardest in winter. We seal accessible joints with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test to verify. For newer flex-duct systems in the northwest, we target connection points at the plenum and register boots. Duct Sealing in Framingham
