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 Sherwood Manor, CT
Air duct cleaning in Sherwood Manor typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Sherwood Manor’s post-WWII housing stock presents distinct challenges: original 1940s-50s galvanized steel ductwork, sharp right-angle turns that trap debris, and forced-air systems that run year-round through cold Connecticut winters and humid summers. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Sherwood Manor from our Hartford office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Sherwood Manor Homes Are Different
Sherwood Manor’s building boom came right after World War II, and the housing stock reflects it: modest ranches and Cape Cods built fast for returning veterans. Most still run on original or lightly updated forced-air systems. That ductwork is galvanized steel, now 70-plus years old, and it wasn’t designed for the air quality standards homeowners expect today.
The local climate compounds the wear. Six months of continuous winter heating pushes dust, pet dander, and mold spores through every joint and seam. Spring pollen and fall leaf debris add seasonal loads. In homes near Sherwood Manor’s wooded borders, we’ve found rodent nesting material packed into those sharp 1950s right-angle turns. The ducts aren’t just dirty; they’re often partially blocked, forcing the furnace to work harder and distributing whatever’s inside through every room.
This isn’t a luxury service here. In Sherwood Manor, duct cleaning is maintenance that protects the heating system and the air your family breathes.
Our Main Sherwood Manor Services
Most Sherwood Manor homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details on what we do and what it costs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sherwood Manor
We clean the full supply and return duct network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for the main trunk lines and branch ducts, combined with negative-air machines from Nikro to pull loosened debris out of the system. In Sherwood Manor’s mid-century homes, we pay special attention to those original right-angle turns where dust and pet hair compact over decades. The job includes all registers, returns, and the plenum. Air Duct Cleaning in Sherwood Manor covers full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sherwood Manor
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Sherwood Manor’s older homes often have vent runs that are longer or more convoluted than modern code allows. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full line from dryer to exterior cap, then verify airflow with a meter. If the vent routing is original to a 1950s Cape, we’ll flag any safety concerns in writing. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sherwood Manor has the full breakdown.
Duct Sealing in Sherwood Manor
Seventy-year-old galvanized steel ducts in Sherwood Manor have had time to loosen at every joint and seam. We apply duct sealing mastic and, where appropriate, aerosol-based sealant to close leaks that bleed heated air into basements and wall cavities. Sealed ducts mean more air reaches the rooms you’re paying to heat, and less dust gets pulled in from unconditioned spaces. Duct Sealing in Sherwood Manor explains when sealing makes sense versus replacement.
