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 Queens, NY
Air duct cleaning in Queens typically costs between $350 and $750 for a whole-home system, and most jobs in the borough take four to six hours because of the way local homes were built. Queens is a borough of attached brick row houses from the 1920s through 1950s, where forced-air ductwork was almost always retrofitted into homes designed for steam radiators, and that changes the work significantly. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning works across Queens with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, a written price before work starts, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Queens Homes Are Different
Queens is the only borough in New York City bracketed by two international airports: JFK to the south and LaGuardia to the north. That matters for residential air ducts more than most people realize. Whole neighborhoods from Jackson Heights and East Elmhurst down through Howard Beach and Ozone Park sit directly under active flight paths, and return-air grilles in these homes routinely show a greasy, dark particulate film that is characteristic of sustained jet-exhaust infiltration. Technicians pulling a return grille in Woodside or East Elmhurst will often find a coating that looks nothing like ordinary household dust.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Row houses in Woodhaven, Richmond Hill, Sunnyside, and Elmhurst were built between the 1920s and 1950s with steam or hot-water radiators and zero ductwork. Every forced-air system in these homes is a later retrofit, often routed through closets, tight attic crawl spaces, or wall chases that were never designed to hold ducts. Climb into one of these attics and you will see runs that turn sharply, pinch down, or disappear behind framing. Those cramped, debris-trapping configurations are significantly harder to clean thoroughly than purpose-built systems, which is why equipment choice and patience matter as much here as anything else.
The climate adds a third layer. Queens summers are humid and subtropical, and AC systems run hard for months at a stretch. Along the Rockaway Peninsula, salt-laden air from the Atlantic pushes into homes from Far Rockaway to Howard Beach, and after Hurricane Sandy, numerous homes in those low-lying areas required duct remediation for floodwater debris and mold. That failure mode lingers. Crews who work the Rockaways check for it even when a homeowner only called about dust.
Our Main Queens Services
Queens homeowners call Morton’s for two services more than anything else: air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated Queens page, because they involve different equipment, different schedules, and different problems.
Air Duct Cleaning in Queens
Whole-system Air Duct Cleaning in Queens means pulling every return and supply grille, cleaning each run with Rotobrush or Nikro agitation tools and a HEPA-filtered vacuum collection system, and checking the unit itself. In Queens row houses, the hardest part is often access: retrofit runs through closets and attic crawl spaces require the crew to protect floors and belongings while working around tight clearances. We bring shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, and we work around kids, pets, and nap schedules. The written price comes before any work starts, and it does not change mid-job.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Queens
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Queens is a separate line of work with its own local risks. Older attached row houses often have long, narrow dryer vent runs through interior walls or up through flat-roof penetrations, and a blocked vent is a fire hazard. In pre-war 2-to-4-family homes across Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, and Corona, vents may be shared or poorly terminated, and lint builds up faster than homeowners expect. Morton’s clears the full run with rotary brushes and verifies airflow at the exterior termination. Same written-price rule, same 365-Day Done Right Promise, same crews.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Queens, NY
Queens pricing is shaped by system size, access difficulty, and the condition of the ductwork. Here are the typical ranges we quote for this borough:
| Service | Typical range in Queens |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $350 - $550 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (11-20 vents) | $450 - $750 |

| Duct replacement (per linear foot) | $35 - $60 |
| Flex duct installation (per linear foot, materials and labor) | $18 - $30 |
In Queens specifically, two things push a job toward the higher end of those ranges: retrofit ductwork in tight attic crawl spaces that slows access, and extra-heavy particulate loads in neighborhoods under the JFK or LaGuardia flight paths. Morton’s provides a written price before any work starts, and that price is the price, full stop.

- 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."
