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 Friendswood, TX
Air duct cleaning in Friendswood tends to run $350-$600 for a whole-home system in a typical 2,000-3,000 sq ft single-family house, and the work is usually completed in a single day. What makes Friendswood jobs different is the housing stock: most homes were built between the 1970s and 1990s with flex ductwork in unconditioned attics, where summers push temperatures past 130°F and Hurricane Harvey left lasting damage that many renovations never touched. If your ducts have never been cleaned, or the home flooded in 2017 and nobody looked past the sheetrock, call us at (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what we’d check first.
Why Friendswood Homes Are Different
Friendswood sits right against the Clear Creek watershed, and that geography shapes a lot of what we find inside duct systems here. Hurricane Harvey flooded large portions of the city in 2017, especially along Clear Creek and Cowards Creek. We’ve seen the pattern many times since: homeowners replaced walls and flooring, dealt with visible mold, and moved on, but the attic flex-duct systems and lower plenum sections that sat in floodwater were never inspected. Years later, silt and organic debris dried inside those duct liners, and mold spores embedded in that material still circulate whenever the AC runs. That’s a far more common situation in Friendswood than in Pearland or League City, where flooding was less widespread.
The housing itself adds another layer. Most Friendswood homes are single-family builds from the mid-1970s through the late 1990s, and the standard duct setup from that era is flex duct routed through unconditioned attic space. In July and August, those attics routinely exceed 130°F. That heat bakes flex-duct liners, makes them sag, and accelerates the breakdown of insulation inside the duct walls. A sagging duct traps dust, pet hair, and construction debris, which means a first cleaning often involves more than just vacuuming out the registers. Add in our proximity to Galveston Bay, which keeps indoor humidity high even with the AC running nine or more months a year, and you get filter clogging and biological growth accumulating faster than in drier Texas markets. These conditions are specific to Friendswood’s climate and housing stock, and they change both how we clean and what we look for before we start.
Our Main Friendswood Services
Most calls from Friendswood homeowners come down to two jobs. Each one has its own page with full details, pricing, and what to expect on the day we arrive.
Air Duct Cleaning in Friendswood
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Friendswood means working through the registers, supply and return boots, and the main trunk lines, with special attention to attic flex duct that’s been sagging or degraded by heat. After a Harvey renovation, we often find what looks like dried floodwater sediment inside air handlers that are spotless from the outside. That’s common enough here that we check for it on every first visit. We bring professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment into the home, and floors get shoe covers and drop cloths before any tool comes off the truck. The full breakdown of what’s included and what it costs is on the service page. Learn more at Air Duct Cleaning in Friendswood.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Friendswood
Dryer vent cleaning in Friendswood homes usually involves a vent run that exits through the attic or the roof, which is common in this housing stock and catches lint in ways a straight wall vent never does. Humid air from Galveston Bay makes that lint stick to duct walls, and a restricted vent forces the dryer to run longer on every load. We clean the full vent path from the dryer to the exterior cap, then check the termination point to confirm airflow is actually moving. It’s a straightforward job with a clear before-and-after difference you can feel in the dryness of the laundry. Details are at Dryer Vent Cleaning in Friendswood.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Friendswood, TX
Here are realistic price ranges for air duct and dryer vent work in Friendswood. These are whole-system ranges, not per-vent teasers.
| Service | Typical range in Friendswood |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $350 - $450 |
| Additional vents (each, beyond 10) | $15 - $25 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard roof or wall termination) | $95 - $150 |
| Dryer vent cleaning with re-routing or cap replacement | $175 - $300 |
| Air handler blower and coil cleaning | $150 - $250 |
| Return plenum cleaning (post-flood sediment cases) | $150 - $300 |
| Flex duct replacement (per 25-ft run) | $300 - $500 |
| Honeywell or Aprilaire media filter installation | $120 - $220 |
| UV light system installation (Aprilaire or Guardsman) | $450 - $800 |
| Blower motor and wheel cleaning | $120 - $180 |
What pushes a Friendswood job toward the high end of these ranges is usually attic access: a long flex-duct run through a hot, tight attic takes more time and care than a short, straight run. Harvey-related sediment or visible mold inside the plenum also means extra cleaning steps. Whatever the scope, you get a written price before any work starts, and that price is the price on the invoice. No surprises after the van is parked outside.
