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.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Randolph Town
A dryer vent cleaning in Randolph Town typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard single-family home, and the work usually takes 45 to 90 minutes once we’re on site. If your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry a load, the cabinet feels hot to the touch mid-cycle, or you can’t remember the last time the vent was cleaned, it’s worth a camera inspection. We serve every neighborhood in Randolph Town, from North Randolph near the Holbrook line to the streets around Powers Farm and the Crawford Square area, and you can reach us directly at (737) 727-2314.
Most homes in Randolph Town were built as post-war capes and ranches, and that housing stock shapes how we approach this job. Dryer vents here often exit through a rim joist or sill plate, then take a long, sagging run of flexible foil duct behind a finished ceiling or drywall. That layout is why we treat dryer vent cleaning in Randolph Town as an investigation, not a quick snake from the outside hood. The lint pack sits behind the laundry wall, and the only way to know what you’re dealing with is to look.
Key Takeaways
- Standard dryer vent cleaning in Randolph Town runs $149 – $289 for a typical single-family home, quoted as one flat price per system before any work starts.
- Most Randolph Town capes and ranches have hidden foil duct runs through rim joists or sill plates, which means the real blockage is usually behind the wall, not at the hood.
- We never quote per vent or per dryer until we’ve looked inside the run with a camera. The price we hand you is the price you pay.
- Every job includes before-and-after photos of your own duct run, taken with our inspection camera, so you can see exactly what was removed.
- We do not promise same-day service. This is scheduled work done properly, not a drive-by.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Randolph Town’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’re part of the Dryer Vent Cleaning team at Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, a member of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005. Every booking through us runs on the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo proof, and a written price handed over before a single tool comes off the truck. That matters in a town where a lot of folks have been burned by bait-and-switch duct cleaning pitches.
Randolph Town homeowners deal with the same structural reality we do: foil dryer ducts snaking through rim joists, behind finished ceilings, and into crawlspaces. Our techs know where the lint packs form in these runs because they’ve seen it hundreds of times. We carry Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-pressure vacuums on every job, so the debris goes into containment, not back into your laundry room.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know the tech’s name before they show up. You’ll also get a live person on the phone when you call, day or night, not a voicemail tree. Book through our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Randolph Town page and you’ll get the same standard on every job: visibility from booking to final invoice.
Dryer Vent Repair in Randolph Town
Dryer Vent Repair in Randolph Town usually means one of three things: a crushed or sagging foil duct behind the wall, a failed or missing outside vent cap, or a damaged rim-joist penetration where the duct exits the house. On the post-war capes and ranches common here, a long horizontal foil run can collapse into an S-curve behind the laundry wall, and that’s a repair, not a cleaning. Most dryer vent repairs in Randolph Town run $120 – $280 depending on what we find, and the written price comes before we touch anything.
Finding the Crush Point
We run an inspection camera down the entire run from the dryer connection to the outside hood. That camera feed shows us exactly where the foil is crushed, separated, or packed with lint, and you get to see the same footage. No guesswork, no opening walls blind.
Fixing the Run Correctly
When we repair a dryer vent in Randolph Town, we replace damaged foil sections with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct wherever the layout allows, because foil on a long hidden run is exactly what got you into this spot. Every repair carries our written guarantee, and if a repair fails within 365 days, we come back and correct it at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Randolph Town
Choosing a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Randolph Town comes down to one question: will they show you proof, or just tell you it’s done? We hand you a written price before any work starts, one flat number per system, never per vent. Then we run a camera inspection, clean the full run with rotary agitation and HEPA-filtered negative pressure, and leave you with before-and-after photos of your own duct. Standard cleaning in Randolph Town runs $149 – $289 for a typical home with one dryer.
What We Photograph
You get photos from inside the duct, not a shot of the outside hood with our thumb over the lens. The camera shows the lint pack before, the clean duct after, and the airflow verification at the hood. If we miss a section, you’ll see it in the photos and we’ll come back under the promise.
When We Tell You It Isn’t Needed
Some Randolph Town runs are short and straight, venting through an exterior wall a few feet from the dryer. If the camera shows a clean run, we’ll tell you to keep your money and suggest a follow-up in two or three years. Annual cleaning is not a rule. It’s a function of run length, layout, and what the camera actually shows. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job we do; recommending work you don’t need is exactly the kind of thing it’s designed to catch.
Trusted Brands We Service in Randolph Town
We stock and service parts for the dryer vent systems most common in Randolph Town homes, including vent caps, bird guards, and foil-to-metal transition sections for runs through rim joists and sill plates. On the filtration side, we carry Aprilaire and Guardsman products where a home needs upgraded air quality work alongside vent cleaning. For cleaning itself, we run Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro HEPA vacuum extraction. That combination loosens the packed lint without pushing it back into the living space, and it’s the same equipment setup we use on air duct and Randolph Town HVAC Cleaning jobs across the Relay Home Co. network.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Randolph Town Homes
- Sagging foil behind finished ceilings. Post-war capes and ranches often have laundry rooms against interior walls, which forces a long horizontal foil run through the rim joist. Over time, that foil sags between supports and catches lint until the run is fully blocked.
- Crushed duct behind the laundry wall. We’ve seen foil runs pinched into an S-curve by a previous remodel or a poorly supported section. The dryer still runs, but the blower motor is working against a blocked airway, and that’s when cabinets get hot and dry times stretch past an hour.
- Missing or damaged outside vent caps. A missing cap lets birds, rodents, and rain get in. We install bird guards and replacement caps as part of many cleaning jobs in Randolph Town, especially on homes near wooded areas where nesting pressure is high.
- Pack lint at the rim-joist bend. The sharp turn where a foil duct exits through the sill plate is a natural lint trap. A snake from the outside hood never reaches it; you need a camera and agitation tools working through the full run.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Randolph Town, MA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Randolph Town runs $149 – $289 for a single-family home with one dryer and a straight to moderately long run.

Dryer vent repairs run $120 – $280 depending on the fix, and bird guard or cap replacement is typically $45 – $95 as an add-on during a cleaning.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Randolph Town
Most Randolph Town homes need dryer vent cleaning every two to four years, not annually. The determining factors are run length, layout, and what the camera shows. A short straight run through an exterior wall might be fine at five years. A long foil run snaking through a rim joist behind a finished ceiling may need attention every two. We’ll tell you which you have and charge you nothing for the recommendation. Call (737) 727-2314 if you’re unsure.
We charge one flat price per system. Never per vent, never per run section. We quote the whole job after the camera inspection, hand you the number in writing, and that’s the invoice. If you’ve had another company quote you per vent, ask them how many vents they’re planning to find. Our price for a standard Randolph Town home with one dryer runs $149 – $289.
We start with a camera inspection through the full run from the dryer to the outside hood. That tells us where the lint pack is and whether the duct is crushed or separated. Then we clean with rotary agitation under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, which pulls the loosened lint into a contained vacuum, not into your laundry room. We verify airflow at the hood and hand you before-and-after photos of your own duct. Call (737) 727-2314 to book.
No. We don’t promise same-day service because this work is scheduled, inspected, and documented, not rushed. A proper cleaning on a Randolph Town cape with a hidden rim-joist run takes 45 to 90 minutes on site, and the camera inspection happens before any cleaning tool goes in. We’ll get you on the schedule as soon as possible and give you a trackable arrival window, but we won’t pretend to be faster than the job allows. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll find the earliest slot.
The housing stock is the reason. Post-war capes and ranches dominate Randolph Town, and many were built with laundry rooms on interior walls, which pushed dryer exhaust into long foil runs through rim joists and sill plates. Foil sags between supports, catches lint, and gets crushed during remodels or insulation work. That blocked airway is a real fire risk and it kills blower motors, which is why we camera every run before we clean it. If yours is crushed, we’ll show you the footage and quote the repair in writing. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection.
On a crawlspace-access ranch off Liberty Street, the homeowner had already swapped a failing blower motor twice and was still seeing long dry times and a hot cabinet. Our tech ran a camera inspection down the foil run and found it crushed into an S-curve behind the laundry wall. We pulled the lint out with agitation tools under negative pressure and HEPA filtration, verified airflow at the outside hood, and printed before-and-after photos of the homeowner’s own duct run before we left. The dryer cycled normally on the first load and no repair was needed beyond the cleaning.
If your dryer is running long, hot, or not drying at all, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate. We’ll camera the run, hand you a written price before any work starts, and leave you with photo proof of your own ducts when we’re done. No per-vent games, no bait-and-switch, no pressure. Just the job, done right, with a 365-day promise behind it.
