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 Lexington, MA
Air duct cleaning in Lexington, MA runs differently than in surrounding towns because of what’s inside the walls. Most homes here were built between 1950 and 1975, and many still carry their original sheet-metal duct systems, often with fiberglass-lined plenums now past their functional lifespan. That means the work leans into real indoor-air-quality improvement rather than a quick once-over. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles these mid-century systems with professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and we give you a written price before anything starts. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what your home needs.
Why Lexington Homes Are Different
Lexington’s residential core grew fast when the Route 128 technology corridor pulled professionals into the suburbs, leaving the town full of split-levels, expanded Capes, and ranch homes. Those houses share a quirk: forced-air systems that have run for fifty or more years without a professional cleaning. Many were built with pressed-fiberglass duct board in the plenums and supply boxes, and that material sheds particulate into the air stream as it degrades. Homeowners often notice a fine dust settling on furniture within days of cleaning, and it keeps coming back because the source is inside the ducts.
The local climate adds to it. Cold winters push heating systems to run five or more months a year, packing dust into every turn and seam of the ductwork. Humid summers create condensation inside ducts routed through unconditioned attic or crawl-space sections, which is a common pattern in Lexington’s split-level homes. We regularly find that those low-clearance crawl-space runs along the hillier streets off Marrett Road, Bedford Street, and Waltham Street hold moisture you’d never see from a register. It’s a town-specific failure mode, and it changes how we approach the cleaning.
Our Main Lexington Services
Lexington homeowners call us most about two jobs, each with its own page so you can see exactly what’s involved and what it costs before you pick up the phone.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lexington
This is the deep clean of the home’s entire forced-air system: supply and return lines, plenums, registers, and the air handler. Lexington’s mid-century homes often hold renovation dust from decades of additions and remodels, and that fine drywall powder sits in the ducts until it’s pulled out. We use HEPA-filtered Rotobrush and Nikro equipment that runs quietly enough to work around a napping toddler or a nervous dog. Floors stay protected with shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit. Air Duct Cleaning in Lexington has the full breakdown.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lexington
Dryer vents in Lexington run longer than average because laundry rooms sit near the center of these expanded Capes and split-levels, pushing vents through walls, crawl spaces, and sometimes up through the roof. Lint packs into every bend, and the humid summer air makes it cling instead of blowing through. We clear the full run and document the clean-up with a photo before we leave. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lexington explains the job in detail.

Prices can move higher in Lexington when a home has never had its ducts cleaned, because that first pass through 50-year-old trunk-and-branch systems takes longer and often surprises us with renovation debris. Multi-zone systems and finished basements that block duct access can also add time. What doesn’t change is the number: we put a written price in your hand before any work starts, and that’s the price you pay.
