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 Arlington, MA
Air duct cleaning in Arlington, MA means working around homes built for New England winters, not Texas heat. Most of the houses we service here date from the early 1900s through the 1960s – colonials, capes, and split-levels with basements, radiators, and ductwork retrofitted into spaces never designed for it. That retrofit history is exactly what makes Arlington jobs different: ducts squeezed through finished ceilings, return paths that were added decades after the original build, and plaster walls that deserve careful protection. If you’re looking for an air duct cleaning company that treats your Arlington home the way you do, call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Arlington Homes Are Different
Arlington sits on a mix of dense in-town neighborhoods and quieter streets running toward Arlington Heights and the Minuteman Bikeway corridor. A lot of the homes east of Massachusetts Avenue were built before central air was common, which means ductwork often runs through tight finished spaces – closets, knee walls, and crawl areas that newer Southern homes simply don’t have. That changes how we work. We protect hardwood floors in entryways, navigate narrow basement stairs with equipment sized for older doorways, and plan our hose runs around the furniture layout of rooms that weren’t built with duct access in mind.
The heating season also matters here. Arlington systems run hard from October through April, pulling in dust, pet dander, and the fine grit that comes off old plaster and wood framing. By spring, the buildup is real – and families with kids and pets notice it most in the bedrooms and the rooms closest to the furnace. Our technicians know these houses. They know where the returns hide and where the runs sag. And they know that the work has to be done without leaving a mark on a century-old staircase or a refinished floor.
Our Main Arlington Services
Two services account for almost every call we take from Arlington homeowners, and each has its own detailed page with local pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington service starts with a walkthrough of your system – where the supply runs go, where the returns pull from, and what kind of buildup we’re dealing with. In Arlington’s older colonials, we often find return ducts pulling from finished lower levels that have decades of dust settled inside the joist cavities. If that sounds familiar, you’ll want the full picture. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to clean the full system, and you get a written price before any work starts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington service handles a quieter problem that most people don’t think about until the dryer takes two cycles to finish a load. Arlington’s older homes often have long dryer vent runs – some snaking up through walls from basement laundry rooms to roof caps – and lint loves to collect at every bend. We clean the entire run from dryer to exterior cap, check the connections, and leave you with before-and-after photos so you can see the difference for yourself.
