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 Bayonne, NJ
Air duct cleaning in Bayonne runs $350 – $650 for most homes, depending on system size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Bayonne’s housing stock, much of it built between 1900 and 1960, means older duct runs, tighter mechanical closets, and decades of accumulated dust in return cavities. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and every job here comes with a written price before work starts, before-and-after photos, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Bayonne Homes Are Different
Bayonne sits on a peninsula between Newark Bay and the Kill Van Kull, and that geography shapes how ducts behave here. The humidity off the water runs high from June through September, and when moist air moves through older duct systems it picks up whatever’s already coating the interior walls – dust, pet dander, and in plenty of Bayonne kitchens, grease residue that’s been circulating for years. Homes in the Constable Hook area and along Avenue C tend to be older frame construction with shallow ceiling cavities, which often means duct runs were retrofitted around existing framing rather than designed from scratch. That makes thorough cleaning more important here than in newer builds with sealed, purpose-built supply runs.
Many Bayonne homes also have radiators rather than forced air, particularly the two- and three-family houses that line the numbered streets. When a forced-air system does exist, it’s often a retrofit, and retrofitted systems are more likely to have uneven airflow, disconnected sections, and returns that pull air from unexpected places. We check those runs during every cleaning. The local housing density matters too: attached homes share walls, which means a clogged dryer vent in one unit can affect the neighbor’s indoor air quality. Bayonne’s narrow lots and on-street parking don’t change how we clean, but they do mean we plan arrivals carefully and keep equipment contained – which is why we run Abatement Technologies containment units on every job.
Our Main Bayonne Services
Most Bayonne homeowners call us for one of three things: dryer vent cleaning, full air duct cleaning, or HVAC coil and blower cleaning. Each has its own dedicated Bayonne page and its own flat-rate pricing details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bayonne
Lint builds up fast in Bayonne because the homes are dense and the vent runs are often short but sharp – a lot of dryer vents here exit through roofs or make tight turns through shared walls. We use a rotary brush system matched to the vent diameter and a HEPA vacuum running negative pressure, meaning loosened lint goes straight into the vacuum rather than back into your laundry room. The whole job usually takes 45 – 90 minutes depending on run length and how much lint has accumulated. For pricing and details on what we check in typical Bayonne two-family layouts, see Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bayonne.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bayonne
A full air duct cleaning in Bayonne means cleaning every supply and return run, the boots, registers, and the main trunk line. In older Bayonne homes we often find the previous cleaning – if there was one – only addressed the visible supply registers. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems through the full length of each run, with Nikro HEPA vacuums pulling negative pressure so debris is extracted, not redistributed. The job typically takes 3 – 5 hours for a standard three-bedroom Bayonne house. For whole-system pricing, what’s included, and how we handle older ductwork, visit Air Duct Cleaning in Bayonne.
HVAC Cleaning in Bayonne
HVAC cleaning targets the equipment itself – the evaporator coil, blower motor, blower wheel, and the drain pan. In Bayonne, where summer humidity runs high and AC systems work hard from May through September, a coated evaporator coil cuts efficiency and pushes moisture back into the home. We clean the coil in place, pull and clean the blower wheel, flush the drain line, and sanitize the pan. Most cleanings run 2 – 3 hours. For what’s covered and recommended frequency for Bayonne’s climate, see HVAC Cleaning in Bayonne.
