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 Shady Hollow, TX
Air duct cleaning in Shady Hollow, TX typically costs $350-$650 for a full single-family home and usually takes 3-5 hours. The work matters more here than in almost any other Travis County neighborhood because the mature Ashe juniper and live oak canopy that gives Shady Hollow its name also loads every duct run with pollen and fine biological debris. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning approaches each Shady Hollow home as its own job: written price before we start, shoe covers and drop cloths in place before the first tool comes off the truck, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Shady Hollow Homes Are Different
Shady Hollow developed as a master-planned community between the mid-1980s and early 1990s, and that timing shapes nearly every duct system we open up. Most homes carry 30-40-year-old flex duct or duct board, original to the build, with connections that have loosened over the years and insulation that’s been cooking in attics that regularly hit 140°F in July and August. The result is predictable: attic air and insulation fibers migrate into supply plenums, and contamination circulates through bedrooms, living rooms, and that hallway that runs past the kids’ rooms.
Then there’s the canopy itself. During cedar season, from December through February, Shady Hollow sits inside one of the densest Ashe juniper pollen events in North America. Pollen counts reach hazardous levels. With windows sealed and systems running on heat, that pollen finds its way into registers, return cavities, and flex duct interiors. Our technicians regularly pull register covers here and find a fine yellow-green pollen cake coating the inside of flex duct runs. It’s a direct fingerprint of this neighborhood’s tree cover, and it’s far less common in the newer subdivisions a few miles north along MoPac where cedar density is lower. Duct cleaning in Shady Hollow isn’t a periodic nicety. It’s a direct response to one of the highest biological-load environments in Travis County.
Our Main Shady Hollow Services
Shady Hollow homeowners call us most about two jobs: the full air duct system and the dryer vent line. Each has its own Shady Hollow page, but here’s the short version of what each involves locally.
Air Duct Cleaning in Shady Hollow
Full-system air duct cleaning covers every supply and return run, the trunk lines, the plenums, and the register covers. In Shady Hollow, the job almost always includes removing a visible pollen and dust accumulation that’s specific to the juniper canopy overhead. We use Rotobrush and Nikro negative-air equipment so what we loosen gets pulled to the truck-mounted collection system, not pushed into living space. Floors and furniture stay protected from the moment the crew arrives. Details and pricing are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Shady Hollow page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Shady Hollow
Dryer vent cleaning in Shady Hollow means clearing the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, including the portion that passes through hot attic spaces. Because so many local homes date to the 1980s and early 1990s, we often find original vinyl or foil venting that meets neither current code nor good sense under 140°F attic heat. We inspect the full run and show you exactly what we pulled out. Read more on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Shady Hollow page.

In nearly all cases, no. Air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are interior maintenance work that doesn’t change the exterior appearance of the home. We arrive in unmarked, clean vehicles, work quietly, and leave no debris outside that would catch an HOA’s attention. If your specific HOA has a question, we’re glad to provide a work description.
It means if something about the job isn’t right within a year of the work, we make it right. That’s not a verbal assurance; it’s stamped on every job. For Shady Hollow families who’ve been burned by rushed crews and messy equipment, it’s the reason they call Morton’s back the next time.

What Shady Hollow 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."
