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 Lexington, MA
Air duct cleaning in Lexington, MA typically costs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price confirmed before any work begins. Lexington’s mature tree canopy, historic housing stock, and humid continental climate create distinct challenges: heavy pollen loads, original galvanized ductwork prone to corrosion, and preservation rules that limit exterior modifications. We dispatch crews from our Boston office to serve Lexington homeowners with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air equipment, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Lexington Homes Are Different
Lexington’s housing landscape spans three centuries. In the Battle Green historic district and surrounding areas, we regularly encounter 18th- and 19th-century colonials where original flues and hidden chases have been retrofitted as return-air paths. These systems demand careful cleaning to avoid disturbing historic plaster or asbestos-wrapped pipes that previous owners left in place. The town’s strict historic-district oversight means any exterior vent modification requires permitting, a step many out-of-town crews skip or miss entirely.
The physical environment compounds the challenge. Lexington’s dense canopy of mature oaks and maples produces pollen, leaf litter, and seed pods that load ductwork heavily during short, intense spring and fall seasons. No neighboring town matches both this volume of organic debris and these preservation constraints. Cold winters and humid summers drive condensation inside unsealed or poorly insulated ducts, particularly in 1950s – 70s ranches and capes with original galvanized or early copper ductwork that corrodes internally. We’ve pulled significant debris from systems in East Lexington where homeowners assumed their newer construction avoided these issues, only to find the original builder-grade ductwork had never been cleaned.
Our Main Lexington Services
These are the three services Lexington homeowners call us about most often. Each has its own Lexington page with detailed pricing, local conditions, and scheduling information.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lexington
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Lexington addresses the pollen, dust, and organic debris that accumulates in ductwork from the surrounding woodlands. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems on flexible duct and Nikro negative-air machines for rigid metal trunk lines, adapting our approach to whether your home has original galvanized ducts or modern flex. Historic homes near Battle Green often require additional care with sealed chases and plaster preservation. Air Duct Cleaning in Lexington covers full pricing, what’s included, and how we handle Lexington’s specific housing conditions.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lexington
Dryer vent cleaning in Lexington focuses on lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk, particularly in homes where exterior vent terminations sit under dense tree cover that traps moisture. We clean the full run from dryer to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and note any exterior modifications that might trigger historic-district review. Homes with longer vent runs through finished basements are common here. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lexington has full details on pricing and what to expect.
Duct Sealing in Lexington
Duct sealing in Lexington targets the leakage points that waste heated and cooled air, especially critical in older homes with unsealed joints and gaps at register boots. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to create a permanent seal, reducing the condensation and mold risk that Lexington’s humid summers amplify. This work often pairs with cleaning in homes where leakage has drawn attic or crawlspace debris into the system. Duct Sealing in Lexington explains the process and pricing.
