Coleman Place filled out fast during World War II, when Norfolk needed housing for the thousands of defense workers pouring in to build Navy ships — and its compact mid-century blocks still house working families today. Eighty years on, the wall voids and utility chases of these homes are exactly where duct problems like to hide.
Fast, friendly service in the 757.
High-density wartime and post-war construction means Coleman Place homes share a common anatomy: plaster and early-drywall wall voids, utility penetrations cut generously and sealed lightly, and ductwork threaded wherever it fit. Those unsealed penetrations are open doors for German cockroaches, house mice, and pavement ants, all of which thrive on these dense blocks — and all of which use duct chases as their highway system once inside.
Cleaning matters doubly in homes where pests have traveled the runs. Our rotary-brush and HEPA-vacuum process physically removes droppings, husks, and nesting debris from every accessible supply and return, and the optional antimicrobial treatment sanitizes what brushing cannot reach. The free photo inspection comes first, so you see exactly what eighty years have deposited before deciding anything.
We also close the doors: sealing boots, collars, and the oversized penetrations that let pests reach the runs in the first place, and replacing contaminated or collapsed flex with new R-8 insulated duct. If the roaches or mice are established, our sister company Universal Pest & Termite eliminates them before we seal — otherwise you are just locking them inside. One coordinated visit, everything photographed.
Coleman Place is one stop on a route that covers the whole region — see our Hampton Roads duct cleaning guide for every city we serve and why the coastal climate makes duct cleaning here so important.
A sample of the air duct cleaning, repair, and replacement work our crews have completed around Coleman Place, Norfolk. Each number on the map matches a job below.
Denison Ave, Coleman Place
Removed drywall dust and construction debris from the entire duct system after a kitchen remodel, so the HVAC stopped redistributing fine dust to every room.
Crew showed up on time, put down floor protection, and the musty smell was gone the same day. Worth every penny.
Norview Ave, Coleman Place
Sealed sweating duct boots and gaps around floor registers in a Coleman Place home — a common fix here that stops condensation, rust rings, and pest entry points.
No upsell, no pressure. They repaired the ducts instead of pushing a full replacement, and the price matched the quote exactly.
Azalea Garden Rd, Coleman Place
Rodents had chewed through flex duct in the crawl space. We replaced the damaged runs with new sealed R-8 duct after our sister company handled the pests.
Financing made it painless, and the crew left the crawl space cleaner than they found it.
Sewells Point Rd, Coleman Place
Found a supply run that had pulled completely loose under the house — the homeowner was paying to cool the crawl space. Reconnected, sealed, and re-supported it.
They found the leak the last two companies missed, showed me a photo of it, and fixed it on the spot. Honest people.
Johnstons Rd, Coleman Place
Deep-cleaned ducts, returns, and registers for a Coleman Place family battling spring pollen and pet dander, then wiped and reset every register.
The before-and-after photos were night and day. I had no idea that much dust was hiding in our Coleman Place house.
Central Business Park Dr, Coleman Place
Replaced an aging, sweat-rotted duct system with new R-8 insulated flex duct, a sealed trunk, and properly supported runs — airflow and comfort transformed.
You could feel the difference in airflow the moment they finished. Professional from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Longdale Dr, Coleman Place
Rotary-brush, direct-contact HEPA-vacuum cleaning of every supply and return run in a two-zone Coleman Place home, with before-and-after photos of the ductwork.
My allergies calmed down within a week. Should have done this years ago.
Tanners Creek Dr, Coleman Place
Full duct cleaning followed by an antimicrobial sanitizing fog to knock out the musty AC smell this Coleman Place homeowner noticed every time the system kicked on.
Friendly, professional, and they showed me photos of everything before asking for a dime. Best contractor experience I've had in Coleman Place.
Chesapeake Blvd, Coleman Place
Replaced a crushed section of flex duct that was choking airflow to two back bedrooms and re-strapped the run so it can't sag or kink again.
They found the leak the last two companies missed, showed me a photo of it, and fixed it on the spot. Honest people.
Robin Hood Rd, Coleman Place
Upsized an undersized return duct that was starving the system for air. The HVAC now breathes properly, runs quieter, and cools faster.
They showed me photos of the rotted duct insulation and walked me through SmartPay financing. New ductwork installed in one day — great crew, great Coleman Place neighbors.
