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 Lawrence, MA
Air duct cleaning in Lawrence typically costs between $320 and $580 for a whole-home system in one of the city’s triple-deckers or rowhouses, and most jobs are completed in half a day. Lawrence homes present a specific set of duct problems: most were built before forced air existed, so the ductwork was retrofitted through walls and basements never designed for it. That means more turns, more debris traps, and more reason to know exactly who’s coming to your door before you book. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written, no-obligation quote.
Why Lawrence Homes Are Different
Lawrence’s housing stock is overwhelmingly late-1800s to early-1900s two- and three-family wood-frame triple-deckers and brick rowhouses, originally built for steam or hot-water radiator heat with no ductwork at all. The 2018 Columbia Gas/Merrimack Valley explosions forced emergency replacement of heating systems in thousands of Lawrence homes. Contractors hurriedly ran new ductwork through century-old wall cavities and basements full of plaster dust, vermiculite, and decades of debris. Those retrofitted systems are now hitting the 5 – 7 year mark with first cleanings overdue and legacy contaminants baked in from day one.
The Merrimack River valley adds another layer. River-corridor humidity combines with cold winters to create frequent condensation inside basement duct sections during seasonal transitions, which accelerates mold and biofilm growth in the flexible ductwork common in post-2018 retrofit installations. In the Ithaca neighborhood, ground zero of the 2018 gas disaster, many landlords installed the cheapest compliant forced-air systems possible under emergency timelines. Our technicians routinely find flex duct draped through uninsulated dirt-floor basements, kinked at sharp angles, and heavily loaded with plaster particulate from the old lath-and-plaster walls the installers punched through. None of this is the homeowner’s fault, but it all lands on the homeowner’s air.
Our Main Lawrence Services
These are the three jobs Lawrence homeowners call us about most often. Each has its own page with local pricing, what the work involves in this city’s housing stock, and what to expect on the day.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lawrence
Lawrence duct systems are rarely straightforward. The retrofitted runs through triple-decker wall cavities and dirt-floor basements collect plaster dust, vermiculite, and construction debris that newer suburban homes simply don’t have. A proper cleaning here means negative-pressure extraction through every supply and return, not just a quick vacuum at the register. We photograph the interior of your ducts before and after so you can see exactly what was removed. Air Duct Cleaning in Lawrence covers full pricing, what the job includes, and why the post-2018 retrofits need attention sooner than standard systems.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lawrence
Dryer vents in Lawrence triple-deckers often run long distances from upper-floor laundry closets to exterior walls, with multiple bends that trap lint fast. In a wood-frame building, a blocked dryer vent is a fire hazard that affects every unit, not just yours. We clean the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination and clear the lint trap bypass. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lawrence explains what a vent cleaning costs here, how long it takes, and the warning signs specific to older multi-family buildings.
Air Duct Repair in Lawrence
Kinked flex duct, disconnected joints, and crushed returns are common in Lawrence’s post-2018 retrofit installations. When ductwork pulls apart in a dirt-floor basement or behind a plaster wall, your system pulls in whatever is around it: dust, damp air, mold spores. We repair and reseal duct runs, replace damaged flex sections, and restore proper airflow. Air Duct Repair in Lawrence has pricing, typical repair scenarios in this city’s housing stock, and the written guarantee included with every repair.

In Lawrence, the biggest price drivers are access and the condition of the retrofitted duct runs. Flex duct kinked through tight wall cavities or draped across dirt-floor basements takes longer to clean and more often needs repair. Whatever the job, the price is put in writing before any work begins, and it does not change at the end.
