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 Winters, CA
Air duct cleaning in Winters, CA costs between $350 and $900 for most whole-home jobs, depending on system size, duct condition, and how much harvest dust has settled in the trunk lines. Winters is a small agricultural town, but its ductwork deals with a working landscape’s worth of particulate, and the job here is measurably different from the same service in Davis or Vacaville. If you live in an older Craftsman near downtown or a ranch home on the orchard side of town, your ducts are collecting almond hull dust every August through November. Call home at (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Winters Homes Are Different
The Putah Creek canyon funnels westerly winds straight into Winters during the dry months, carrying fine dust from surrounding almond and walnut orchards into every gap in a home’s envelope. During harvest season, from August through November, mechanical shakers and blowers push dense clouds of hull dust through town. By October, return-air filters on homes near the orchard edges, especially along the eastern and southern blocks, are often packed with a pale, gritty residue that has nothing to do with how clean the house is kept.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Winters’s core includes early 1900s Craftsman and farmhouse-style homes near the historic downtown, many of which received flex-duct retrofits in the 1970s and 80s. That ductwork is aging, poorly sealed at the joints, and pulls attic and crawlspace air into the system. The ring of mid-century ranch homes and the newer 1990s and 2000s subdivisions on the edges of town perform better, but the older properties with undersized return plenums compound particulate buildup. We adjust our approach accordingly: older flex-duct systems need gentler agitation and more attention to sealing afterward, not just cleaning.
Our Main Winters Services
These are the two jobs Winters homeowners call us about most, and each has its own page with full pricing and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Winters
For Winters homes, the duct cleaning job starts with checking what harvest season left behind. Return lines near the orchard side of town often hold a layer of nut-hull dust three to four feet into the trunk, and supply registers show the same pale film on older flex-duct systems. We use Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies equipment sized for the job, and we protect floors and furniture with shoe covers and drop cloths before any equipment rolls through the door. See the full breakdown at Air Duct Cleaning in Winters.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Winters
Lint buildup in dryer vents is slower in Winters than in high-humidity areas, but agricultural dust can mix with lint to form a denser, stickier deposit, especially in laundry rooms near exterior walls facing the prevailing westerly winds. We clean the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination, and we check termination hoods for dust caking that reduces airflow. Full pricing and details are at Dryer Vent Cleaning in Winters.

What Winters Customers Say
"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
- Bonnie Vo"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
- Shelby Dunham"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
