Richard Anderson — owner and lead technician — handles your job personally. Two decades of duct work, not generalist HVAC services.

Why Landmark Air Duct Cleaning Service New York Is Yonkers’s Preferred Duct Repair & Sealing Company
We’ve built our reputation one Yonkers job at a time. 548 customers, 4.9 stars — results you can verify before you book. That review volume matters in a city this size; it means we’ve worked in the pre-war buildings on Warburton Avenue, the 1960s towers near Getty Square, the converted multifamilies along Midland Avenue. Yonkers customers mention the same things: Richard showed up when he said he would, found leaks their last contractor missed, and sealed systems that had been bleeding conditioned air into walls for years.
Response time to Yonkers runs same-day or next-day in most cases. We keep our routes tight — Bronxville to the north, Mount Vernon to the south, the Bronx border to the west — so we’re rarely far from your building. Parking’s a known headache near downtown Yonkers and along the Thruway corridor. We plan for it. We don’t subcontract. Richard Anderson is the lead technician on every job — not a franchise, not a subcontractor network. That accountability matters when you’re letting someone open up ductwork hidden in your walls.
Our equipment reflects the work we actually encounter here. Abatement Technologies HEPA containment for soot-heavy jobs near I-87. Nikro duct inspection cameras for tracing flex runs through dropped ceilings in converted multifamilies. Rotobrush agitation systems for the packed debris we pull from galvanized lines that haven’t been cleaned since the Reagan administration. Contractor-grade equipment most residential crews never carry.
Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Yonkers
Duct Sealing
Sealing in Yonkers means addressing retrofit work — ducts shoved through former closets, routed around structural masonry, joined with tape that’s turned to powder. We use mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners, not duct tape, for joints that hold. In buildings along the Hudson where river humidity keeps ducts damp, proper sealing prevents the mold cycles that start at every gap. A typical duct sealing job in Yonkers runs $320–$580 for a two-family or small apartment system.
Metal Duct Repair
Original galvanized steel in Yonkers’s pre-war stock corrodes at seams, separates at supports, and gets punctured by decades of owner modifications. We’ve patched and reseamed metal duct in buildings from Ludlow to Nepperhan. Where sections are too far gone, we fabricate replacements on-site or source matching gauge stock. Metal duct repair in Yonkers typically ranges from $180 for a localized patch to $450 for multi-section replacement in a hard-to-access chase.
Mastic Sealant Application
For the gap-heavy retrofits common in Yonkers’s attached housing, mastic sealant is our primary repair material. It’s brush-applied, sets flexible, and fills irregular joints that foil tapes or gaskets. We specify mastic rated for the temperature swings and humidity loads these buildings see. Mastic sealant work in Yonkers generally falls between $250–$420, depending on linear footage and access difficulty.
Flex Duct Repair
Flex duct in Yonkers appears in two contexts: 1970s apartment tower renovations and homeowner add-ons to older systems. Both fail predictably — crushed in tight chases, torn at connections, sagging off supports. We replace with properly sized flex or transition to rigid where space allows. Flex duct repair in Yonkers runs $150–$340 per run, with full replacement toward the higher end.
Duct Insulation
Insulation in Yonkers addresses two realities: winter heat loss through unconditioned chases, and summer condensation on cool ducts in humid basements. We install foil-faced fiberglass or closed-cell wrap depending on clearance and code requirements. Duct insulation in Yonkers typically costs $280–$520 for partial-system work.

Trusted Brands We Service in Yonkers
We work with Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman air quality systems — the brands installed in Yonkers’s better-maintained buildings and the ones property managers request by name. Richard stocks common repair parts for Honeywell media air cleaners and Aprilaire humidifier pads, so we’re not ordering and returning. For duct repair specifically, we specify mastic sealant from Mastic Sealant brand and carry Rotobrush and Nikro equipment for the cleaning and inspection work that often precedes sealing. Fast turnaround matters when you’re managing a rental near Getty Square or a co-op off Central Park Avenue. One call closes the loop on your air quality.
Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Yonkers Homes
- Leaky retrofitted galvanized ductwork hidden in dropped ceilings or closets. The attached two-families and three-families in ZIPs 10701 and 10705 were built for radiator heat. Forced-air was added later, often poorly. We find original metal ducts joined with failing tape, sagging from inadequate supports, and pulling apart at every elbow. The airflow never reaches the second floor.
- Mold colonization from Hudson River valley humidity. Yonkers’s western neighborhoods — especially lower-elevation blocks near the river — see ambient moisture levels that inland Westchester doesn’t. Ducts in unconditioned chases stay damp. Mold establishes at unsealed joints and spreads through the system. We seal first, then sanitize, or the problem returns.
- Diesel soot contamination from Thruway freight traffic. Buildings along the I-87 corridor pull in fine black particulate that standard filters don’t catch. We open ducts in these buildings and find interiors caked with soot distinct from household dust. The fix isn’t just cleaning — it’s sealing the return path and upgrading filtration.
- Mismatched flex-duct extensions from successive renovations. Owner after owner has patched the original system in Yonkers’s long-occupied buildings. We find 6-inch flex crammed into 8-inch boots, sagging runs with no slope for drainage, and connections held with zip ties. Each repair reveals the last one’s shortcuts.

Material matters too — matching vintage galvanized runs more than standard flex. We don’t guess. Richard Anderson inspects on-site, shows you what he’s found, and quotes before any work starts. Estimates are free. Call (833) 754-6107.

FAQs — Duct Repair & Sealing in Yonkers
Your Yonkers building likely has retrofitted ductwork through non-standard pathways with decades of accumulated debris, plus exposure to Hudson River humidity and — if you’re near I-87 — diesel particulate that White Plains’s purpose-built suburbs simply don’t face. The combination of old galvanized metal, unsealed joints, and unique local contamination sources creates a dirtier system faster. Call (833) 754-6107 and we’ll show you exactly what’s in your ducts.
Yes — we regularly access and seal duct runs in party walls, former closets, and converted chases throughout Yonkers’s attached housing stock. In a 1930s attached two-family on Palisade Avenue in ZIP 10701, we sealed a leaky metal duct run that had been shoved into a former coal chute. The mastic sealant from Mastic Sealant brand fixed gaps so severe that the second floor had been getting no airflow; the owner called it the first time both units felt balanced. Access is harder. It’s what we do. Call for an estimate.
The river valley funnels moist air into lower Yonkers year-round, keeping duct surfaces damp and accelerating mold growth at every unsealed joint — a pattern we don’t see at the same rate in drier inland communities. Proper sealing with mastic prevents this by eliminating the gaps where moisture enters and mold establishes. We see the worst cases in pre-war buildings with no vapor barriers. Call (833) 754-6107 for an inspection — estimates are free.
Yes — we repair and replace flex duct in the 1960s and 1970s towers common along Central Park Avenue and nearby corridors, where original flex has degraded or been damaged by maintenance work in tight ceiling plenums. These buildings often have limited access and specific fire-separation requirements we navigate regularly. Flex duct repair in these properties typically runs $150–$340 per run. Call to schedule.
Yonkers’s housing — pre-war attached multifamilies, mid-century towers, retrofitted ductwork — presents access challenges and contamination patterns that purpose-built forced-air homes in Scarsdale rarely match. We deal with ducts in former coal chutes, party walls, and dropped ceilings; with soot from Thruway traffic; with humidity loads from the Hudson. The work requires different techniques and equipment. Richard Anderson has spent 20 years developing those techniques for buildings exactly like yours. Call (833) 754-6107.
