Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Gateway, FL
Air duct cleaning in Gateway, FL typically runs $1,800 to $2,600 for a full single-family home, with most jobs priced between $35 and $55 per vent depending on system size and attic access. Gateway homes are different from nearly anywhere else in Southwest Florida, because nearly every one of them was built in the same 20-year window with the same flex-duct construction, and nearly every attic took water during Hurricane Ian. That means our crews aren’t just vacuuming dust out of the system up there. They’re removing debris, trapped post-storm moisture damage, and biological growth that the neighborhood’s 12-month AC cycle keeps feeding. If you’re looking for a straightforward, written-price duct cleaning from a team that treats your home the way you treat it, call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345.
Why Gateway Homes Are Different
Gateway is a master-planned Lee County community built predominantly in the 1990s through the mid-2000s. That single fact shapes the work more than anything else. Most of the homes here use flexible duct systems, not sheet metal, and that flex duct is now 20 to 35 years old. Flex duct in a Florida attic does not age gracefully. It sags at the joints. The inner liner tears. The outer vapor barrier cracks under heat that routinely pushes past 140 degrees in the summer. And when Hurricane Ian made its direct hit on Lee County in September 2022, a lot of that attic ductwork took on water that was never addressed. Homeowners repaired roofs and drywall. The ductwork underneath stayed wet, then humid, then mold-friendly, and the AC kept blowing air through it every day since.
That’s the Gateway difference. In an inland market, air duct cleaning is mostly a dust-and-debris job. In Gateway, it’s post-storm mold remediation as much as it is routine maintenance. Our technicians work in planned-community tract homes and villa clusters where the exterior shell might be brand new from a re-roof after Ian, but the attic still holds the original water-soaked flex duct. The humidity here never really gives that ductwork a chance to dry out, so the work requires a different level of care. We see it in communities like The Plantation and Reserve communities off Gateway Boulevard, and it’s the single most common thing Gateway homeowners tell us they wish they’d known sooner.
Our Main Gateway Services
Gateway homeowners call us most often about two things: the full air duct system and the dryer vent. Each one has its own dedicated page where you’ll find the pricing table, what the work involves, and answers to the questions we hear most often in this area.
Air Duct Cleaning in Gateway
Most Gateway homes have one or two air handlers in the attic, with flex duct runs stretching across a superheated space that gets hotter than any other part of the house. A full-system cleaning here means opening the supply and return plenums, vacuuming the trunk lines and branch runs, and checking the flex duct itself for torn liners and separated joints that let attic air pull into the system. In homes that took Ian water, we also check for mold staining along the duct interior. The process is methodical, and we walk you through what we find before we finish. For the full breakdown of what’s included, pricing, and how we protect your floors and furniture during the work, see Air Duct Cleaning in Gateway.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gateway
Gateway homes have shorter dryer vent runs than older Florida stock, usually four to ten feet from the laundry room to an exterior wall, but the humidity here makes lint stick to the inside of the pipe differently than it does in drier climates. Combine that with the fine, sandy soil around Gateway and the fact that dryer vents here pull in outdoor air at the termination point, and you get a vent that loads up faster than homeowners expect. We clean the full run from dryer connection to exterior flap, clear any bird or rodent nesting, and confirm the termination flap seals properly so the vent isn’t pulling humid outdoor air back through the system. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gateway for local pricing and the full write-up.
