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 Jersey City, NJ
Air duct cleaning in Jersey City typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What drives the price isn’t just square footage; it’s the age and layout of the housing stock, from century-old rowhouses with legacy sheet-metal ducts to waterfront high-rises with centralized exhaust shafts. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to Jersey City from our New York City office. If you want a written price before we start, call us at (361) 326-5060.
Why Jersey City Homes Are Different
Jersey City’s housing splits into two worlds that rarely overlap. On the west side, Bergen-Lafayette and the Heights are packed with 19th- and early 20th-century brick rowhouses and two- or three-family homes. These places have original plaster walls and legacy sheet-metal ducts with tight turns that collect decades of residue. In McGinley Square and Bergen-Lafayette, we’ve found duct branches running through unheated rear extensions added long after the original build. Those chases collect damp lint and soot all summer, then pump out a musty blast the first time the heat kicks on in October. That’s not a dirty main trunk; it’s a localized moisture problem in an unheated chase, and it takes a different approach.
The waterfront tells a different story. Post-2000 high-rise condos rely on PTAC sleeves, stacked HVAC systems, and building-wide exhaust shafts. Cleaning those means coordinating with building management, working within limited service windows, and knowing how to isolate units without disrupting neighbors. The humid Jersey City summers and cold winters compound everything: moisture builds up in unconditioned basements and attics, freeze-thaw cycles loosen joints in older metal, and the dense urban environment traps pollen and particulate matter that gets pulled into return-air systems. We show up prepared for both building types, because guessing wastes everyone’s time.
Our Main Jersey City Services
Most Jersey City homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with detailed pricing and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Jersey City
We clean supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk using a Rotobrush rotary brush system or Nikro negative-air equipment, depending on access and duct material. In Jersey City’s rowhouses, we’re often working around tight basement headroom and original plaster penetrations that can’t take rough handling. In high-rises, we coordinate with building engineers to isolate PTAC units and protect shared exhaust paths. Every job gets a written price before we touch anything, and we photograph the ducts before and after so you see what changed. Air Duct Cleaning in Jersey City
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jersey City
Dryer vent cleaning in Jersey City is as much about fire safety as airflow. Rowhouses often have vents that run through multiple floors or terminate in awkward sidewall locations, while high-rise units may share common exhaust chutes that clog with collective lint loads. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, test airflow with a manometer, and flag any flexible transition duct that needs replacement. If we find a blocked shared chute in a condo building, we document it for your management company. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jersey City
Duct Sealing in Jersey City
Duct sealing stops conditioned air from leaking into walls, basements, and between units in multi-family buildings. In Jersey City’s older homes, we see separated joints at duct turns and gaps where sheet metal meets plaster. We seal with mastic and reinforced tape rated for the temperature swing, then pressure-test to verify the seal held. In attached rowhouses, this also means less odor migration between units, a real concern when shared walls carry cooking grease and smoke. Duct Sealing in Jersey City

What pushes Jersey City prices toward the high end: multiple duct branches in unheated chases that need extra access time, high-rise coordination with building management, and older metal ductwork with separated seams that require repair before cleaning. What keeps them predictable: we write the price down before we start, and that number does not move at the door. One flat price per system, agreed in advance.
