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 Parma, OH
Air duct cleaning in Parma typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What drives the real cost is the condition of Parma’s aging galvanized steel ductwork, not how many vents you have. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews work Parma homes weekly. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Parma Homes Are Different
Parma’s housing stock is dominated by post-WWII bungalows and capes built between 1945 and 1965, most of which still have their original galvanized steel ductwork with riveted joints and no internal lining. Duct cleaning here isn’t just about dust removal. It’s about decades of rust flaking, joint separation, and the distinctive black “ghost” staining around floor registers that’s common in these homes. No neighboring suburb has this exact combination of age, original metal ducts, and the heavy allergy season from the Cleveland Metroparks’ oak and maple canopy that feeds duct debris.
Most Parma homes run 1,000 – 1,400 square feet with full basements. The original galvanized steel trunks, often asbestos-wrapped in pre-1960 builds, were retrofitted with central air in the last 30 years. That creates mismatched supply runs and poor airflow in second-floor bedrooms. In the Polish Village and other older neighborhoods, we’ve found original round floor registers carpeted or laminated over during 1970s remodels, hiding duct boots that are now crushed or disconnected. We run a camera first.
Parma’s humid continental climate means six months of furnace heat pulling dust and rust through the system, followed by warm, humid summers that promote mold growth inside unlined basement ducts. Cleaning demand spikes twice a year: fall before the furnace kicks on, and spring after the thaw.
Our Main Parma Services
Parma homeowners call us most often for these three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Parma
We clean the full supply and return system using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for the branch lines and a Nikro negative-air machine on the trunk. In Parma, we always inspect for rust scale and separated riveted joints before we start, because pulling a brush through a loose joint can make the problem worse. The job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Parma
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Parma
Dryer vent cleaning in Parma means dealing with runs that often date to the original 1950s or 1960s installation, sometimes routed through finished basements with limited access. We clear the full run from dryer to termination, check for proper airflow, and note any corrugated transition duct that needs replacing with solid metal per current code. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Parma
Duct Sealing in Parma
Parma’s original galvanized steel systems lose 20 – 30% of conditioned air through riveted joint gaps and seams that have worked loose over 60-plus years. We seal accessible trunk lines and plenums with mastic, not tape, and test with a pressure pan to measure improvement. This is often the fix for second-floor rooms that never get warm enough in winter. Duct Sealing in Parma
