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 Everett, MA
Air duct cleaning in Everett, MA costs $450 – $890 for a full-system cleaning on a typical 1,800 – 2,400 sq ft single-family home, with the job usually taking 4 – 6 hours. What makes Everett different is the housing stock: most homes south of the Boeing freeway date from the 1960s to early 1980s, meaning we regularly open returns that have never been professionally touched. Add the persistent marine moisture from Port Gardner Bay, and you get a particular mix of old sheet-metal ductwork plus biological buildup that most cleaning crews rarely see. If you want an exact quote before anything starts, call (980) 447-2498.
Why Everett Homes Are Different
It is a split landscape, and both halves create work. The Naval Station side of Everett cycles through occupants on PCS rotations. Renters move in, renters move out, and air ducts get skipped because nobody in that chain thinks duct maintenance is theirs to schedule. By the time a homeowner inherits that system, the ductwork may carry five or ten years of accumulated dust, pet dander, and worse.
The south Everett corridor is the opposite problem in the same direction: long-time owners in 1960s and 1970s ranch homes near the Paine Field area, houses built during Boeing’s expansion waves. Those homes frequently still have their original galvanized sheet-metal trunks, often with flex-duct add-ons spliced in during 1980s remodels. The transitions between old rigid metal and newer flex create sag points where condensation pools and debris compacts. We see it constantly along the SR-526 corridor and through the neighborhoods feeding into it.
The climate makes it worse. From September through May, low fog off the Snohomish River delta keeps ambient humidity high. In crawlspace-mounted air handlers and low return plenums common to these ranch homes, that persistent moisture feeds mold and biofilm inside the ducts. This is not a cosmetic dust issue; it is a biological one, and it is the main reason surface-level cleaning is not enough here.
Our Main Everett Services
Three services cover almost every call we take in Everett. Each has its own page because each is a different kind of job, with different pricing and a different scope. Here is where to go for details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Everett
This is the full-system service: supply and return ducts, the air handler cabinet, and the blower assembly. In Everett homes the failure point is usually the return side, especially in older ranch homes where the return plenum sits low and pulls moisture-laden air. We use negative-pressure extraction, which means the system is sealed and put under vacuum while we agitate the interior walls. Debris goes into the collection unit, not back into the house. Our crews see the typical 1960s – 1980s Everett truss-and-crawlspace construction every week. Full details and pricing are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Everett page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Everett
The dryer vent is a separate problem from the main ducts, and it is usually more urgent. In Everett homes where the laundry shares a wall with bedrooms or where the vent run is short, lint traps get bypassed entirely. In the split-level and ranch layouts common here, the vent line often runs through a crawlspace or low attic, meaning the homeowner never sees the blockage building. Our equipment uses a rotary brush system with a vacuum capture unit, not a blown-air shortcut. You can see specific pricing and what the job includes on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Everett page.
Air Duct Repair in Everett
Cleaning reveals what cleaning cannot fix: disconnected sections, collapsed flex, rusted-out metal, pinhole leaks at the joints. In Everett specifically, the sagging flex-to-metal transitions from 1980s additions are the most common repair call. These points collect condensation, the flex deteriorates, and the run either separates or collapses. Every repair we quote is covered by a written guarantee, and if a covered repair does not hold, we return at no charge. The full repair scope is on the Air Duct Repair in Everett page.
