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 Newark, NJ
Air duct cleaning in Newark costs between $350 and $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs falling around $450 to $550 depending on home size and how long the ducts have gone without service. Newark’s housing stock makes nearly every job different from what a crew would see in the suburbs: brick row houses and brownstones with retrofit ductwork squeezed into spaces never designed for it. If you live in the Ironbound, Forest Hill, Weequahic, or the South Ward, the inside of your ducts likely tells a very specific story about diesel particulates and decades of compacted debris. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Newark Homes Are Different
Most Newark homes were built between 1900 and 1950 as two-to-four-family brick row houses and brownstones heated by steam radiators or hot water. That means they originally had no ductwork at all. When central forced air was retrofit starting in the 1960s, ducts got shoehorned into closets, dropped ceilings, and unfinished basements. The result is what we see constantly on Newark jobs: convoluted layouts with tight turns, inaccessible joints, duct gaps that have been pulling in basement dust for years, and runs that nobody has reached since they were installed. In a Bloomfield colonial you can often map the duct layout in your head. In a Newark brownstone, the ducts are a maze.
The air outside makes it worse. Newark sits at the meeting point of the NJ Turnpike, I-78, Route 1&9, the Port Newark truck corridor, and the approach paths to Newark Liberty International Airport. Homes in the Ironbound are enclosed by all of it. Technicians consistently report duct interiors in the East Ward coated with a dense, dark diesel-particulate layer that looks and cleans out differently from systems just a few miles west. The city’s heat-island effect also extends the cooling season, which means air conditioners run longer here and pull more of that particulate load through the system each year.
Our Main Newark Services
Newark homeowners call us most often about two things: cleaning ducts that have never been cleaned since a retrofit, and repairing duct joints that have separated in tight, inaccessible spaces. Each service has its own Newark page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Newark
Whole-home negative-pressure extraction using Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Newark, the job usually takes longer than a suburban equivalent because the duct runs are shorter, tighter, and harder to access. We frequently find disconnected joints and decades of fine particulate packed into return runs. Before starting, we agree on a written price for the whole system. Air Duct Cleaning in Newark covers pricing, what the job includes, and what to expect in older brick housing stock.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark
Dryer vents in Newark’s row houses and brownstones are often long, vertical or sharply angled runs that exit through flat roofs or rear masonry walls. Lint accumulates faster in these tight configurations, and in multi-family buildings the vent may serve more than one unit. We clear the full run, inspect every joint, and show you what came out. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark for specific pricing and how we handle difficult vent paths.
Air Duct Repair in Newark
Separated joints, crushed flex runs, and gaps at the plenum are common in Newark homes with retrofit ductwork. Repair means reconnecting, sealing, and reinforcing so the system stops pulling air from inside walls, basement joist bays, and crawl spaces. Every repair we do anywhere in Newark comes with a written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails we return at no charge. Air Duct Repair in Newark walks through common fix types and honest cost ranges.

In Newark the two things that push a quote toward the high end are layout and access. A retrofit system in a three-story brownstone with ducts in dropped ceilings costs more to clean than a suburban ranch because the runs are harder to reach and take longer. And if we find gaps or separations during cleaning, repairing them adds to the total; we always quote repairs separately and in writing before doing them.

What Newark Customers Say
"Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
- Faith N."We had construction dust packed into every register after a remodel. They sealed off the returns, used negative pressure, and left the floors cleaner than they found them."
- Paul E."I liked that I knew who was coming in. Name and photo texted ahead, badge at the door. He was quiet, careful with the furniture, and thorough."
