Meet the Team - Linden Air Duct Queens

Meet the Queens Team Behind Linden Air Duct Queens

We’re a Queens-based crew that has been cleaning and repairing air ducts in homes across the borough since 2004. From Astoria apartments to detached houses in Bayside, the same faces show up, do the job, and leave the system cleaner than we found it. What unites us is simple: we don’t cut corners, we don’t upsell what you don’t need, and we stand behind every job in writing. You’ll know exactly who’s coming to your door before they arrive, because we send their name and photo ahead of every visit.

Our People

Marcus Veale, Owner and Lead Technician

Marcus founded Linden Air Duct Queens in 2004 and still runs jobs himself. He’s the one who answers the phone half the time and the one who shows up when a repair is tricky. Marcus holds advanced certification in negative-pressure extraction and has spent two decades working inside the duct systems of prewar co-ops in Jackson Heights, split-levels in Fresh Meadows, and everything in between. He’ll tell you what’s actually in your ducts without dramatics, then tell you what cleaning them costs and why. When he’s not on a job, he’s usually restoring an old motorcycle in his garage in Middle Village, slowly.

Danny R., Senior Installer and Repair Specialist

Danny has been with Linden since 2011 and handles most of the air duct repair work. He’s the guy who can fabricate a replacement duct section on the spot and make it fit like it was always there. Danny is certified in duct sealing and airflow diagnostics, and he’s the one who walks homeowners through before-and-after photos so they can see exactly what changed inside their system. He grew up in Ozone Park, still lives there, and would rather talk about the Mets’ bullpen than almost anything else. Good luck getting him to stop once he starts.

Yolanda C., Service Coordinator

Yolanda is the voice on the phone when you call to book. She’s been with the team since 2016 and knows the Queens schedule inside out: which neighborhoods need morning slots, which buildings have parking rules, and how long a job in a LeFrak City high-rise really takes versus a private home in Howard Beach. She manages the technician dispatch, sends the name-and-photo introductions before every visit, and keeps the written pricing quotes moving. Yolanda lives in Richmond Hill and, outside of work, coordinates a community garden that feeds about forty local families each season.

Manny T., Apprentice Technician

Manny joined Linden in 2023 after finishing a trade program in HVAC fundamentals. He rides with Marcus or Danny on every job, learning duct system design, negative-pressure setup, and the right way to handle a dryer vent lint trap bypass. Manny does the crawlspace and attic work nobody else volunteers for, and he’s getting good at camera inspections of hard-to-reach duct runs. He’s a lifelong Queens resident, currently in Astoria, and he’s the one who will ask if you want your air filter orientation explained before he leaves. He means well. It’s actually helpful.

One Standard, Every Job

Every technician who walks into a Queens home does so under the same set of rules. It’s called the Threshold Standard, and it’s been the operating backbone since 2004. Every team member is background-checked and identity-verified. Every tech’s name and photo are sent to you before the visit, and every tech shows a photo ID badge at the door, every time. The price is written down before the work starts. The repair guarantee is written down too, covering a full 365 days, with a free second visit if a covered repair doesn’t hold. No exceptions. It’s how the team in Queens does the job whether it’s a two-room apartment or a six-bedroom house, and it’s the reason we’re the crew you’re glad you let in.
