The Duct Cleaning Specialists

Steve from The Duct Cleaning Specialists spent about four hours thoroughly cleaning out our heating ducts. He was courteous and seemed to do a very thorough job. He also explained to me several aspects of the job before, during, or after it was done. He cut a large hole in the cold air return and four small ones in one of the heating trunks, connected a big indoor vacuum to the furnace and turned it on high - blowing air into my basement from the suction, but it filtered through a huge bag and there was no dust - and then went to each vent and used a blower to blow dust towards him where it was vacuumed with a shop vac, or towards the furnace where the fan picked it up (I'm afraid I don't understand quite how it works, but he showed me a ton of dust so I'm sure it did!)

This is a small, two-man team (Steve and Paul) and my understanding is they get all their business through word-of-mouth, unlike some of the bigger, shadier outfits that mostly do phone marketing.

My only issue is that he sold me (for a mere $5) a filter for my ground floor cold air return, and neither he nor I thought to check that it was big enough, and after he left I discovered it doesn't fit properly. Old houses like mine (1920's) tend to have larger cold air returns than newer ones, and this filter has 1" gaps on either side of the long sides.

Highly recommended, very professional.

I emailed Paul to schedule a duct cleaning before Aug.27th so I can move in to a cleaner house, but he was going to attend the technical conference until Aug.29. I decided to wait for him until Sep.2nd. Turned out this is the best decision I've made. It is not the first time I had done duct cleaning, so I can tell the difference when Paul is doing his job. I almost felt socially responsible to write this review so we can see more young man like Paul in the future. He spent 3-4 hours in my 1200 sq.ft 60-year old bungalow, registrer by registrer. I can clearly hear those half century old debris being sucked through the pipe. When the job is done, both my wife and I can feel the difference as we've lived in this house for a week. There is no more pet smell or the classic old house odor. Thank you Paul, a job well done

Paul and Steve spent three hours cleaning ducts in my house on August 31, 2011. I just recently moved in to a new location and felt it was important to have my house as clean as possible. Paul answered all of my questions and gave me a deal on cleaning my bathroom exhaust vents. Steve was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects. I think he liked our pet rabbit. Anyway, Paul and Steve did an excellent job, and given they worked for three hours, I feel I got a deal on the service they provided. Paul concluded his visit by reminding me how often I should change my filters, and I was surprised to learn that he didn't recommend getting the ducts cleaned in my house every year. Clearly, he is very honest. I would not hesitate to recommend The Duct Cleaning Specialists.

Paul was highly professional, friendly and gave me helpful advice to fix an existing problem. He clearly enjoys his job and takes pride in his work. We will definitely call The Duct Cleaning Specialists again!

What a great experience with the duct cleaning! They did great job with a great attitude. I was searching for the good duct cleaning service and found one now. Thank you Paul and Steve!

I found this company on homestars and I called them along with few other ones. I needed service on a specific date / time to have the ducts cleaned (my daughter is allergic to cats) before we moved into our new home. Steve arrived early, was very well prepared, explained the job, showed me some areas of concern throughout. It took him approx 4.5 hrs to finish the job. Half way through I inconvenienced him because a fridge got delivered and he had to stop his equipment, move it and then re-set it up. He was very understanding and accommodating, which I really appreciated. He performed a few additional fixes related to air circulation, cleaned / replaced filters, etc. Overall great service, I'd happily recommend.

After a tennis sized ball fell into our vent I phoned and requested a full duct cleaning. But after looking at the main HVACarea Paul suggested that it wasn't neccessary, since there wasn't much accumulation. But Paul was determined to help remove that ball that was blocking air flow from one vent and was successful!! Paul was honest and just charged for a service call instead of a whole system cleaning!

Very implressed with the quality and professionalism of the work done.
Steve arrived and did a very good job cleaning my ducts and improving the quality of air I breath in my house

When we had our new home inspected, duct cleaning was recommended as there was pet hair and dust in all of the vents. I decided to call The Duct Cleaning Specialists, and I am glad I did. Paul answered my initial call promptly, answered my questions, and arranged the appointment. He arrived on time and spent just over three hours cleaning the vents, ducts, furnace, and dryer vent. He walked me through the entire job, explained what he would do, and he gave me tips on how to maintain the furnace. He used tarps to avoid any mess, and he was very careful to clean up after himself once the job was done. When he wrote me the invoice, he discounted the furnace and dryer cleaning! Paul is a qualified professional and takes his work very seriously. If you need your ducts cleaned, this is the company to call.

Excellent service from both Paul and Steve. Clean, friendly, and professional, and did an amazing job! We would not hesitate to recommend them, and are so glad we called them. We will definitely be using them for all duct/furnace and other environmental cleaning needs we will have.
