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 Shoreline, WA
Air duct cleaning in Shoreline, WA typically runs $390 to $865 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Homes within a half-mile of the 145th or 185th Street light rail corridors often need more aggressive debris removal because of the years of tunneling and station-box excavation that coated duct interiors with fine concrete particulate. That’s the Shoreline difference: same 1950s ranch architecture you’ll find across the north end, but with a construction-dust fingerprint most nearby cities never got. Call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Shoreline Homes Are Different
Shoreline’s housing stock is overwhelmingly post-WWII: single-story ranches and split-levels built between roughly 1950 and 1975, most sitting on crawl-space foundations. Those original sheet-metal ducts have spent fifty-plus years exposed to ground moisture, and Shoreline’s marine climate keeps ambient humidity above 80% from October through April. That combination means the inside of a Shoreline return plenum often looks different from one in, say, Kenmore: damp, musty, and sometimes carrying the early stages of mold colonization. It’s a condition families notice first as a persistent stale smell when the furnace kicks on.
Then there’s the Lynnwood Link construction. Roughly 2019 through 2024, Shoreline absorbed the noise and dust of heavy ground-boring and concrete work around the NE 145th St and NE 185th St station sites. Fine silica, concrete dust, and diesel particulate drifted into neighboring homes, settled into return ducts, and stayed there. We’ve pulled a dense gray-tan layer out of return plenums near those corridors that’s visually distinct from ordinary household lint. It’s a Shoreline-specific condition we plan for on every estimate.
Our Main Shoreline Services
Shoreline homeowners call us most about two jobs: full air duct cleaning for the whole system, and dryer vent cleaning for the exhaust run. Each has its own dedicated Shoreline page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Shoreline
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Shoreline means opening every supply and return register, running professional-grade agitation through the full run of sheet-metal ductwork, and collecting the debris at the air handler with a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine. In Shoreline homes especially, we’re checking return plenums for that light-rail construction dust layer and checking crawl-space runs for rust-through and loose joints that leak conditioned air into the dirt. Crawl-space ductwork in a 1960s Shoreline ranch often hasn’t been opened since the house was built. See the full scope and Shoreline-specific pricing on Air Duct Cleaning in Shoreline.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Shoreline
Dryer vent cleaning in Shoreline is a focused job: clearing the full exhaust run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination point. Shoreline’s damp winters mean lint inside a vent stays moist and sticky, building up faster than in drier inland homes. We inspect the exterior cap, clear the entire run, and confirm proper airflow at the termination point before we pack up. If your laundry room feels humid during a dry cycle, or a load is taking two full cycles to dry, the vent is usually the culprit. Full details and pricing: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Shoreline.

In Shoreline, price tends to climb on the top end for two reasons: crawl-space access that’s tight or damp, and construction-dust saturation near the light rail corridors that requires a second agitation pass. Whatever the number, it’s written down before we start. The price on the estimate is the price on the invoice, full stop.

What Shoreline Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
