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 Gilroy, CA
Gilroy homes collect a specific kind of dust. It’s not the gray suburban powder you’ll find in San Jose or Morgan Hill. It’s a yellowish-tan, organic grit that settles into return air plenums every summer as the garlic harvests come down around Christopher Ranch and the produce fields along Highway 25. Combine that with 20 to 30 year old flex ductwork in the newer subdivisions and rigid metal ducts dating to the 1950s and 1970s near downtown, and you have a duct system that needs real local knowledge, not a generic cleaning. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning serves Gilroy homeowners with written pricing before any work starts, and our crews know exactly what they’re walking into when they open your return vent. Call (323) 918-4345 to talk it through.
Why Gilroy Homes Are Different
Gilroy sits at the southern end of the Santa Clara Valley, and the geography does something specific to your HVAC system. The Pacheco Pass funnels dry, dusty air through the corridor and across the valley floor. During the dry summer months, that airborne grit gets pulled through your return vents and into the ductwork, then bakes onto the duct walls as the system runs at peak load. Wildfire smoke events up in the surrounding hills add another layer each fire season, loading filters and interior duct surfaces with fine particulate. We see the same pattern in homes from the Stonebridge and Glen Loma Ranch subdivisions south of Tenth Street, where tract construction from the late 1990s and early 2000s means original flex ductwork is now past its expected service life. Mastic connections dry out. Runs sag. And that yellowish organic dust finds its way into every seam. Older homes near the downtown core tell a different story: decades of agricultural dust packed into rigid metal ducts that nobody has opened in years. In both cases, the fix begins with an honest look inside, not a coupon-driven surface pass.
Our Main Gilroy Services
Gilroy homeowners call us most often for two jobs, and each has its own detailed page with specific pricing and local conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Gilroy
The homes in Gilroy’s newer subdivisions often have return air plenums carrying a yellowish-tan organic dust that peaks after the late-July harvest. Homeowners usually notice it first as a recurring odor that comes back every summer until the ductwork and air handler are properly cleaned. We open the system, show you what’s in there, and quote one flat price per system before the work starts. Rotobrush and Nikro equipment does the cleaning, not rented gear. Floors and furniture stay protected from the moment the crew walks in. That’s the job, no drama. Air Duct Cleaning in Gilroy.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gilroy
Dryer vents run through attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls in Gilroy’s 20 to 30 year old tract homes, and the agricultural dust that settles into the laundry room also works its way into the vent run. Lint plus that fine grit makes a compacted blockage faster than most homeowners expect. The job removes the buildup from the full run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, and we leave you with a photo of the clean vent before we go. Pricing is written and agreed before anything starts. Shoes stay covered inside the house. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gilroy.

What pushes a Gilroy price up?

The number we quote in writing before we begin is the number on your invoice. That’s the whole idea.
