Air Duct Cleaning in Columbia, MD

James Rouse’s company began building Columbia in 1967, and the plan organized it into villages around Town Center and Lake Kittamaqundi. Wilde Lake came first, followed by Harper’s Choice, Oakland Mills, Long Reach, Owen Brown and the rest, out to River Hill in the 1990s.

Because the villages went up over about three decades, the age of the housing changes from one village to the next. The earliest townhouses and houses in Wilde Lake and Oakland Mills are now well over fifty years old, while River Hill is far newer.

The mix of housing types was the point of the plan, and it shapes what each house needs. A townhouse usually has one system and a dryer that vents through a rear wall or the roof; a detached house on a cul-de-sac may have two systems and more than twelve vents; a condo may keep its laundry in a closet with a long run to the outside.

Columbia also has a great deal of wooded open space and pathways between neighborhoods, so decks and siding that face the trees stay damp longer. Exterior cleaning covers house washing, siding, decks, patios, driveways and walkways, with the method chosen for each surface.
