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 Dedham, MA
Air duct cleaning in Dedham costs between $450 and $1,150 for a full system clean in most homes, with older retrofitted systems near Dedham Square running toward the upper end of that range. What makes Dedham work different is the housing stock itself: pre-WWII colonials and capes with ductwork retrofitted into spaces never designed for it means longer runs, tighter access, and more accumulated debris than a newer build in Westwood or Canton. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what your specific house needs before anyone touches a vent.
Why Dedham Homes Are Different
Most of the homes we work in around Dedham weren’t born with forced-air systems. The colonials, capes, and two-families near Dedham Square and East Dedham were built in the 1910s through the 1940s around steam or cast-iron radiator heat. Somewhere along the line, a previous owner converted the house to forced air, and the ductwork got squeezed into walls, closets, and chases that were never framed for it. Those retrofitted runs are usually undersized, loosely sealed at the joints, and routed through uninsulated basement and attic spaces where dust, pet hair, and construction debris collect faster than in a purpose-built system. When we clean a retrofitted Dedham system, we’re often the first people to see the inside of those ducts since they were installed.
The Charles River adds another layer. Homes in the low-lying neighborhoods along the river corridor carry more basement and crawl-space humidity year-round than inland towns at higher elevation. That moisture moves into return plenums and supply trunks, and it’s one reason we pay close attention to what’s inside a Dedham plenum before we quote the job. In some cases we flag what we see and recommend the homeowner have a specific section inspected more closely. It’s not scare tactics, it’s just what older riverside housing stock presents.
Our Main Dedham Services
Two services cover most of what Dedham homeowners call us about: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Dedham page with specifics, but here’s the short version of what each job looks like in this town.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dedham
A full Air Duct Cleaning in Dedham job here means working through supply runs, return drops, and the plenum on both sides of the furnace. In an older Dedham colonial, those runs are often lined with fiberglass duct board or patched across multiple renovation eras, which takes more time and care than a modern flex-duct system. We bring Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for tighter residential access, and we protect floors, furniture, and pet areas with shoe covers and drop cloths before any hose goes through the door. Written price first, always.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dedham
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dedham work covers the full vent run from the dryer connection to the outside termination. In Dedham’s older homes, that run is often longer than in newer construction, routed through a basement or exterior wall with multiple elbows where lint packs in. We clean the entire run, confirm airflow at the outside vent, and photograph the results before we leave. If the vent is buried in a finished ceiling or otherwise inaccessible, we’ll tell you that during the walkthrough and price it accurately before starting.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Dedham
Most Dedham jobs are scheduled within three to five business days, depending on the season and the specific street. We’ll confirm a window when you call and honor it. Phone isn’t answered by a recording; a real person sets the visit.
For most homes, no. However, some pre-1980 Dedham homes near the furnace plenum have asbestos-wrapped duct sections, and Massachusetts requires a licensed asbestos inspector’s sign-off before any cleaning can legally proceed. If you’re unsure, we can guide you on what to check.
Older retrofitted systems sometimes need a two-part job: first the main runs and plenum, then a focused pass on hard-to-reach branches or a furnace filter replacement. We’ll lay that out in the written price before we start so there are no surprises on the invoice.

What Dedham Customers Say
"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
- Bonnie Vo"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
- Shelby Dunham"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
