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.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Santa Rosa’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our reputation in Santa Rosa is built on showing up exactly as promised. Families here tell us they chose Morton’s because the last crew tracked mud through the house or tacked on charges after the work was done. That doesn’t happen with us.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values. Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before any tool comes out of the van. We use quieter equipment during nap hours, and we choose pet-safe products wherever they’re available. Every job gets a written price before we start, and every finish gets a photo of the clean-up sent to you before we pull out of the driveway.
We’re familiar with Santa Rosa’s specific challenges: the rural dust loading from unpaved roads, the layered wildfire ash from Tubbs and Glass and Kincade, and the construction debris left in vents from rushed post-fire rebuilds. That local knowledge means we diagnose faster and clean more thoroughly than someone just passing through.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Rosa
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Rosa covers multi-unit laundry facilities, property management portfolios, and businesses with high-velocity dryers that run all day. In Santa Rosa, apartment complexes near Railroad Square and commercial properties along Santa Rosa Avenue face accelerated lint buildup from constant use, plus the same regional dust and ash loading that affects residential systems. A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Santa Rosa runs $280-$550 depending on the number of units, duct run length, and access difficulty.
Multi-Unit and HOA Laundry Facilities
Shared laundry rooms in Santa Rosa condos and townhomes create compounded lint loads that individual traps never catch. We clean the full run from each dryer back to the exterior cap, documenting airflow before and after with digital readings. Property managers receive a written report for their files.
Restaurant and Hospitality Dryers
Commercial kitchens and short-term rental laundry operations near Sonoma County Airport or along Highway 12 push dryers harder than residential units. We schedule around your operating hours and use HEPA-contained extraction so there’s no downtime or mess for guests.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Santa Rosa
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Santa Rosa means complete source removal from the dryer connection through the exterior termination, not just vacuuming around the trap. For Santa Rosa homeowners, we recommend this service when drying cycles stretch past 45 minutes, when the laundry room feels humid, or when you notice a burnt-lint smell. A standard residential Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Santa Rosa costs $150-$280; bird guard installation or vent cap replacement adds $45-$95 per item.
Camera Inspection and Problem Diagnosis
We feed a camera through the vent run before we quote, so you see exactly what’s in there: lint compaction, ash residue, crushed flex duct, or a disconnected joint. No guesswork, no surprises on the invoice.
Complete Source Removal and HEPA Containment
Our Nikro and Rotobrush equipment agitates duct lining while simultaneous negative pressure pulls debris into a sealed HEPA container. Nothing escapes into your laundry room or crawl space. We finish with an airflow test to confirm the dryer is breathing properly.
Trusted Brands We Service in Santa Rosa
We carry replacement parts from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, so most vent cap replacements and bird guard installations happen same-visit without a return trip. For Santa Rosa customers, that means faster turnaround and no waiting on shipping from out of state. Our Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning equipment is professional-grade, not rental-store level, and we maintain it to manufacturer specs so it performs the same on your Bennett Valley ranch home as it does on a Coffey Park rebuild.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Santa Rosa Homes
- Rural dust and pollen choking exterior caps. In the rural pockets around Santa Rosa, unpaved roads and open land generate fine dust that coats vent caps and screens. Homeowners often replace a perfectly good dryer before realizing the vent is simply suffocated.
- Wildfire ash layered in exterior vent runs. After smoke events like Tubbs, Glass, and Kincade, fine ash migrates into vent runs on exterior walls, leaving a gritty charcoal film that standard lint trap checks never reveal. The dryer works harder, runs hotter, and wears out faster.
- Construction debris in Coffey Park and Fountaingrove rebuilds. Homes rebuilt after 2017 frequently have dryer vents clogged with drywall dust and insulation fibers from rushed construction. The vent looks new but performs like it’s been neglected for years.
- Crushed or kinked flex duct behind the unit. In older Santa Rosa ranch homes, the flex duct gets pinched against the wall when the dryer is pushed back into place. Airflow drops by half, and lint accumulates in the crease.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Rosa, CA
Most Santa Rosa homeowners pay between $150 and $280 for a complete residential dryer vent cleaning. That covers camera inspection, full source removal with agitation and HEPA extraction, airflow testing, and the clean-up photo before we leave. Bird guard installation runs $45-$75 per vent, and vent cap replacement is $65-$95. Commercial systems start at $280 and scale with unit count and access difficulty.
What moves the price? Long duct runs through crawl spaces or attics, multiple turns or elbows, hard-to-reach exterior terminations on second stories, and heavy contamination from ash or construction debris that requires extended cleaning time. We give you a written price before any work starts, every time, with no per-vent add-ons or surprise charges once we’re in your home. Call (323) 918-4345 for your free estimate.
