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.

Why Randolph Town Homes Are Different
Randolph Town’s housing stock runs older than most MetroWest towns, and that shows up directly in the ductwork. A lot of the colonials and capes we open up have original sheet-metal trunks from the 1960s and 70s, with decades of layered dust, pet dander, and the occasional surprise inside – we’ve pulled drywall scraps, kids’ toys, and a full set of 1990s hockey cards out of return boots. Older flex runs in attic and crawl spaces sag over time, which creates low spots where debris pools and airflow drops. Those homes also tend to have undersized returns by modern standards, which means every bit of accumulated buildup chokes an already strained system.
The climate here doesn’t help. Winters mean closed windows and running heat for five straight months, recirculating the same air through dirty coils and trunk lines. Spring pollen season coats exterior registers, and summer humidity pushes into unconditioned attics where duct insulation gets spongy. We also see a lot of homes with original electrostatic filters that haven’t been pulled and cleaned in years. None of this is unusual for a town with this housing profile, but it means a Randolph Town duct cleaning is rarely a quick once-over – it’s usually a real debridement of everything downstream from the filter rack.
Our Main Randolph Town Services
Three services make up almost everything we do in Randolph Town, and each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and detail. Here’s the short version of what each one involves.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Randolph Town
Dryer vents in Randolph Town run longer and through tighter spaces than homeowners expect – especially in split-levels where the laundry room sits in the center of the house and the vent has to travel fifteen to twenty feet to reach an exterior wall. That length means more lint accumulation, and more resistance against the dryer’s blower. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, using a Rotobrush system to scrub the walls and a negative-pressure vacuum to pull everything out rather than blowing it into the yard. Long runs, elbows, and vermiculite-filled exterior caps all slow us down, but none of it gets skipped. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Randolph Town for pricing and what a typical job includes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Randolph Town
This is the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, branch runs, registers, and the air handler cabinet. In Randolph Town we do this with a combination of agitation and extraction – a Rotobrush rotary brush knocks debris loose from duct walls, and a Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-pressure vacuum pulls it straight out of the system. That negative-pressure extraction is the difference maker; it means the dirt you’re removing leaves the house entirely instead of resettling into your living room. Older Columbus-era builds often have asbestos-wrapped trunks in the basement, and we work around those carefully with proper containment rather than disturbing them. See Air Duct Cleaning in Randolph Town for a full breakdown by system size and configuration.
HVAC Cleaning in Randolph Town
HVAC cleaning covers the mechanical side: evaporator coils, blower wheels, condensate pans, and the air handler cabinet itself. In Randolph Town, where furnaces and air handlers sit in damp basements or crawlspaces, the blower wheel picks up a gritty film of dust and moisture that knocks it out of balance and cuts airflow. We pull the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing, degrease and sanitize the coil, and clear the condensate line with a proper drain treatment. This isn’t something you can do with a shop vac and a brush from Home Depot – it needs the cabinet opened, components removed, and the work photographed so you can see what was actually done. See HVAC Cleaning in Randolph Town for the full scope and pricing.

What pushes a Randolph Town job toward the top of those ranges is age and access. A cramped attic with a single scuttle hole, a basement trunk wrapped in decades of insulation, or a flex-run system that’s partially collapsed all add labor time. Whatever the number ends up being, you get it in writing before any work begins, and that number does not change at the door. The Relay Standard is built around that: a live arrival window, before-and-after photo proof, and a digital invoice you can pay by link from your phone.
