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 Vallejo, CA
Air duct cleaning in Vallejo is a different job than it is twenty minutes north in Fairfield or across the water in Benicia, and the reason comes down to where the city sits. The Carquinez Strait funnels Delta agricultural dust and bay moisture through Vallejo’s older neighborhoods at the same time, which means the ductwork in many homes here carries a rust-tinted, fine-grained grit that our crews rarely see anywhere else. If your Vallejo home was built during the Mare Island shipyard years, chances are those ducts have been moving air for 60 to 80 years and have never been professionally cleaned. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll tell you exactly what we find, and exactly what it costs, before any work starts.
Why Vallejo Homes Are Different
Vallejo’s housing stock is the first thing a technician notices. The bulk of the city’s residential neighborhoods were built during the 1940s through 1960s, when Mare Island Naval Shipyard was expanding and workers needed homes fast. Those postwar tract houses went up with galvanized sheet-metal duct systems that are now well past their intended service life, and many of them were never sealed properly in the first place. Add in the years of municipal budget constraints following Vallejo’s 2008 bankruptcy, and deferred maintenance on forced-air systems is more common here than almost anywhere else in Solano County.
The climate makes it worse. Vallejo sits at the mouth of the Carquinez Strait, a natural gap in the Coast Range where winds from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta blow straight through. That wind carries Central Valley agricultural particulates, grass pollen, and fine dust directly into the city. At the same time, fog and marine air push inland from San Pablo Bay, keeping duct interiors damp enough to encourage mold colonization in leaky or uninsulated runs. The result is a dual contamination pattern: heavy particulate loading plus sustained humidity. Homes in older waterfront-adjacent neighborhoods like Sandy Beach and South Vallejo often have registers coated in the rust-tinted dust that comes from Delta farmland mixing with salt-laden bay air. When we pull a register in Vallejo and see that texture, we know the ducts need sealing work as much as they need cleaning.
Our Main Vallejo Services
The two calls we get most from Vallejo homeowners are air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each service has its own dedicated page with local pricing and details, but here is a short look at both.
Air Duct Cleaning in Vallejo
Air duct cleaning in Vallejo means working around the city’s older ductwork, much of it original to homes built between the 1940s and 1960s. Our crews use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro to pull out the accumulated particulate load that Delta winds push through these systems year after year. Before we start, we walk through the house with you, protect floors and furniture with shoe covers and drop cloths, and give you a written price for the whole job. Pet hair, construction debris, and the fine dust that settles into Vallejo’s duct runs all come out. Air Duct Cleaning in Vallejo
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vallejo
Dryer vents in Vallejo’s older homes often run long horizontal distances through crawl spaces or up through walls, which means lint builds up faster and airflow drops sooner. We clean the full vent run using professional equipment, then confirm the airflow is moving correctly before we finish. A clogged dryer vent is a fire hazard, and in Vallejo’s older housing stock it is one of the most common issues we see. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vallejo

| Service | Typical range in Vallejo |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (average 2,000 sq ft home) | $450 – $700 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (larger home, 3,000+ sq ft) | $600 – $900 |

In Vallejo, prices tend to run toward the middle or upper end of these ranges when the home is one of the city’s 1940s-to-1960s builds with original ductwork, because there is usually more particulate material to remove and more sealing work to assess. Every job we do starts with a written price for the entire system, agreed to before our crew touches a register. There are no per-vent upcharges and no surprises on the invoice.

Yes, and those are the homes we know best. Steel duct systems from the 1940s to 1960s are heavier and often poorly sealed at the joints, which is exactly what attracts the Delta dust and bay moisture that settles into Vallejo’s air systems. We assess the whole system before we clean, and we will let you know if sealing work would help as much as cleaning.

What Vallejo Customers Say
"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."
- Scott Hemmings"Friendly, calm crew that clearly cared about the house. Covered their shoes, protected the floors, and double checked they'd closed up every vent cover properly. Would have them back."
- Omar Zaid"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."
