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 Maynard, MA
Air duct cleaning in Maynard, MA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single visit. The work here differs from neighboring towns because Maynard’s housing stock, built largely for mill workers in the late 1800s and early 1900s, presents retrofit duct runs through unheated attics and kneewall spaces that newer construction simply doesn’t have. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews handle these older systems regularly. If you’re ready to book, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Maynard Homes Are Different
Maynard’s identity as a former mill town turned bedroom community shapes every duct job we do. The housing stock is dominated by 19th-century mill worker housing and early-20th-century capes, with some postwar ranches mixed in. Original ductwork is rare; most systems were retrofitted decades ago and run through unheated attics, kneewall spaces, and original brick basement walls.
This matters because ducts in unconditioned spaces see condensation every summer and ice-damming moisture every winter. In the Powder Mill and mill-district neighborhoods, we regularly find galvanized duct or older flex duct with minimal vapor barriers, and homeowners often call us after furnace tune-ups when musty odors surface. Rodent debris and mold in unheated runs are patterns we see far less in neighboring Concord’s newer, sealed systems. Cold New England winters and humid summers mean seasonal dust loading from wood stoves adds to the buildup. The Garrison Standard requires our technicians to inspect these conditions, photograph what they find, and explain it before any work starts.
Our Main Maynard Services
Maynard homeowners call us most often for three services, each handled with written upfront pricing and our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Air Duct Cleaning in Maynard
Our rotary brush system from Rotobrush loosens debris while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls it out of the system under controlled suction. In Maynard, this matters because older flex duct in kneewall spaces can collapse if vacuum pressure is too aggressive. We adjust technique for the housing stock here, and we photograph the before-and-after condition of your ducts so you see what was removed. Air Duct Cleaning in Maynard covers the full process, pricing, and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maynard
Dryer vent blockages are a fire hazard, and in Maynard’s older homes the vent runs are often longer and more convoluted than in new construction. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear lint from the full run, including rooftop terminations common on multi-story mill-era buildings. The job includes airflow testing before and after. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maynard has full details on pricing and scheduling.
Duct Sealing in Maynard
Duct sealing with mastic and metal-backed tape closes leaks that bleed heated or cooled air into attics and crawlspaces. In Maynard, this is often the most cost-effective upgrade we offer because unconditioned duct runs lose so much energy through gaps at joints and seams. We pressure-test the system after sealing to verify the improvement. Duct Sealing in Maynard explains how we price it and what results to expect.
