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.

We’ve been working in Randolph Town long enough to recognize the patterns: the 1950s ranches off North Main Street, the split-levels near Crawford Square, the post-war capes around Pleasant Street - all built during the same suburban boom, most still running original ductwork that’s never seen a professional cleaning. That matters because Randolph’s housing story is unique. The town’s rapid growth between 1955 and 1975 filled neighborhoods with homes that now carry decades of accumulated particulate, often compounded by oil-to-gas furnace conversions that left layered residue inside the plenum. Our Air Duct Cleaning team doesn’t just vacuum registers; we investigate the full system, camera-inspect the trunk lines, and show you what we find before we quote a price.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Randolph Town’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Paul Adeyemi and our crew have built a reputation in Randolph Town by treating homes the way we’d want our own treated. That means shoe covers at the door, drop cloths under every work area, and quiet tool settings when there’s a napping toddler or a skittish retriever in the next room. We’re not guessing at what Randolph homes need - we’ve cleaned ducts on Liberty Street, cleared dryer vents near the Randolph commuter rail station, and sealed disconnected runs in ranch basements from North Main to Pleasant Street.
Our customers here tend to find us after a bad experience elsewhere: a crew that quoted low, worked fast, and left debris behind. We answer that with the Cedarwell Care Promise, which starts with a written price before any work starts and ends with a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and a live person answers our phone 24/7 - not a chatbot, not a callback queue. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop.
Vent Cleaning in Randolph Town
Vent Cleaning in Randolph Town means more than wiping register grilles. In a town where so many homes still run original 1960s sheet-metal ductwork, the visible vent is often the tip of the iceberg. We remove each supply and return register, clean the boot and first few feet of branch line with Rotobrush agitation tools under constant negative pressure, and capture debris in HEPA-filtered Nikro vacuums rather than letting it resettle in your system. Most vent cleaning jobs in Randolph Town run $150-$280 per system when done as part of a full cleaning, or $200-$350 as a standalone service for targeted problem areas.
When Registers Tell Only Half the Story
A clean-looking vent in a Randolph ranch can hide the real problem deeper in the trunk. We’ve pulled registers that looked fine while the main plenum behind them held an inch of layered soot from an old oil furnace. Our vent cleaning includes a flashlight and mirror inspection of the boot - if we see the telltale black band, we recommend extending the clean to the full branch.
Working Around Your Household Rhythm
We schedule vent cleaning with your day in mind. Nap hours get quieter tool settings. Pet areas get extra drop cloths and a quick vacuum of the work zone before we pack up. The price we write down is the price on the invoice - no per-vent add-ons, no surprises.
Air Duct Repair in Randolph Town
Air Duct Repair in Randolph Town addresses what we find once the debris is cleared: disconnected joints, crushed branch runs from prior owner improvisations, and failing tape or mastic on original seams. Repair work here typically runs $200-$500 for sealing and minor reconnection, or $450-$900 when we need to replace damaged sections of trunk or branch line. We always camera-inspect after cleaning to spot these issues, and we show you the footage before quoting repair work.
The Hidden Damage Behind Finished Ceilings
Randolph’s split-levels and ranches often have basement or crawl-space runs that previous owners modified. We’ve found crushed flex duct stuffed behind drywall, branch lines simply left disconnected after a renovation, and improvised extensions that leak conditioned air into unused spaces. Our repair work reconnects or replaces these runs and seals them properly so air reaches the rooms it’s supposed to.
Sealing the System After Cleaning
A clean duct with open seams is still a failing duct. We use mastic and metal-backed tape - not plain duct tape - to seal joints we expose during cleaning. In Randolph’s humid continental climate, where crawl spaces and basements stay damp through summer, proper sealing also reduces the moisture that feeds biofilm growth inside the system.
Trusted Brands We Service in Randolph Town
Our vans carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman - not rental-shop gear that struggles with decades of buildup. Rotobrush flexible-shaft systems let us navigate the tight branch lines common in Randolph’s older ranches, while Nikro HEPA vacuums maintain negative pressure so dislodged debris leaves your home entirely. We stock common repair parts locally, so when we find a disconnected joint or damaged section during a clean, we can often seal or replace it same-day rather than scheduling a return visit. For homes with integrated humidifiers or electronic air cleaners, we’re familiar with Honeywell and Aprilaire components and can service them during the same appointment.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Randolph Town Homes
- The Soot-Line Surprise. Homes that converted from oil to gas heating often show a pale, clean-looking duct interior at the register - but the main trunk hides a thick black band of oil combustion residue. A basic brush-and-vacuum at the vent misses this entirely, leaving the carbonaceous layer to keep circulating.
- Crushed or Disconnected Branch Runs. Prior owners in Randolph’s high-turnover housing market often improvised duct extensions during renovations. We regularly find branches that no longer connect to the supply plenum, leaking heated or cooled air into basements and crawl spaces instead of bedrooms.
- Condensation in Crawl-Space Runs. Randolph’s humid summers and cold, damp winters create temperature differentials that sweat inside poorly insulated basement ducts. This moisture, combined with Norfolk County pollen, accelerates biofilm growth that a simple filter change won’t touch.
- Layered Buildup from Multiple Owners. When a home has changed hands three or four times since the 1980s without a single duct cleaning, we find decades of accumulated skin cells, pet dander, insulation fibers, and remodeling dust compacted into the trunk. The system runs, but it’s moving air through a dirty hose.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Randolph Town, MA
Most full residential duct cleanings in Randolph Town fall between $350 and $650, depending on system size, accessibility, and what we find once we’re inside. A typical 1,200-square-foot ranch with a single furnace and accessible basement runs toward the lower end. Split-levels with multiple zones, finished basements that limit access, or systems requiring significant repair work after cleaning trend higher. Dryer vent cleaning adds $120-$180 when bundled with duct work.
We don’t quote per-vent or teaser rates that balloon once the crew arrives. You get one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. That price covers the full cleaning, HEPA-filtered debris removal, register and boot cleaning, and a post-job photo of your clean system. If camera inspection reveals repair needs, we show you the footage and quote separately - no pressure, no surprises. Estimates are free. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Randolph Town
Original sheet-metal ductwork from the 1955-1975 era is usually structurally sound but functionally dirty. We camera-inspect first. If the metal is intact and the seams are accessible, a thorough cleaning plus sealing often restores performance for far less than replacement. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll assess what you’ve got.
In Randolph’s oil-to-gas conversion homes, the visible register often shows only the cleaner gas-era layer while the main trunk holds years of oil soot and accumulated debris. The smell comes from that deeper layer, which circulates whenever the blower runs. A surface wipe won’t reach it - we need to clean the full trunk and plenum.
Most split-level jobs take four to six hours, including setup, full-system cleaning with Rotobrush and negative-pressure extraction, camera inspection, and any minor sealing we find needed. We work room by room and can pause for nap schedules or pet breaks. The written price doesn’t change if we run long.
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service we often bundle with duct cleaning for Randolph Town homes. Lint buildup in the vent line is a genuine fire hazard, and restricted airflow wears out heating elements faster. We clean the full run from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination and verify airflow with a meter.
In Randolph’s older housing stock with original ductwork and limited fresh-air intake, indoor particulate levels often exceed outdoor levels - especially during pollen season when Norfolk County’s woodlands release allergens that enter through windows and then recirculate through dirty ducts. Cleaning doesn’t fix everything, but it removes a major reservoir of accumulated particles that your blower keeps redistributing.
