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.

Why New York City Homes Are Different
New York City’s housing stock is unlike anywhere else we work. The pre-war high-rises of the Upper West Side, the Financial District’s commercial towers, and the converted lofts of Tribeca all present challenges you won’t find in suburban markets. Original galvanized steel ducts from the 1920s through 1950s are still common, and many run through tight mechanical shafts that require specialized high-rise access equipment.
The climate here is relentless on HVAC systems. Humid summers and cold winters mean equipment runs hard year-round, accelerating dust and debris buildup. Coastal salt air corrodes ductwork in waterfront buildings from Battery Park City to the Rockaways. In older Manhattan buildings, original vertical riser ducts often have asbestos-containing insulation that demands abatement-trained crews. Steam-heat systems in pre-war buildings create condensation that fosters mold growth in ductwork, a pattern we see regularly in Midtown and Harlem properties. Building management coordination, limited service windows, and shared mechanical spaces are standard parts of every job.

Most calls we field in New York City fall into three categories, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price, background-checked uniformed technician, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
Air Duct Cleaning in New York City
We clean supply and return ducts using Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract buildup without cross-contaminating neighboring units. In New York City’s high-rises, we coordinate with building engineers to access mechanical floors and riser shafts safely. Every job gets before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in New York City
Dryer vent blockages are a leading fire hazard in multi-unit buildings where long horizontal or vertical runs are common. We clear lint and obstructions from the dryer connection through the exterior termination, testing airflow with a manometer to confirm performance. In buildings with rooftop or courtyard exhaust points, we bring the right extension equipment and coordinate access with superintendents. Dryer Vent Cleaning in New York City
Duct Sealing in New York City
Leaky ducts in New York City’s aging systems waste conditioned air into unoccupied shafts and between units. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to restore airflow where it belongs, often improving efficiency enough that tenants notice the difference in comfort and utility costs. Post-war buildings with fiberglass duct board and renovated brownstones with retrofitted ductwork both benefit from proper sealing. Duct Sealing in New York City
