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 Fruit Cove, FL
Air duct cleaning in Fruit Cove typically runs $350-$550 for a whole-home system, depending on the number of floors and the condition of the ductwork. Most Fruit Cove homes we visit were built between 1993 and 2015 with original flex duct systems that have never been professionally cleaned, which means the first visit often takes longer than a routine maintenance clean. If you’re noticing dust settling back on furniture days after wiping it down, the ducts are usually the culprit. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before anything starts.
Why Fruit Cove Homes Are Different
Fruit Cove sits right against the St. Johns River floodplain, and that geography does something specific to the air inside these houses. The river keeps humidity measurably higher than areas just a few miles inland, which means condensation forms more readily inside attic duct runs during the long cooling season. In practice, we see more microbial growth and musty-smelling supply vents in Fruit Cove than in drier parts of St. Johns County.
The second thing that sets Fruit Cove apart is the housing stock itself. The master-planned subdivisions that define this area, especially the Julington Creek Plantation-era communities, went up fast between the mid-1990s and the early 2010s. Almost every one of those homes was fitted with flex duct systems run through unconditioned attics. Those ducts are now 20 to 30 years old. The polyester inner liners from that era delaminate over time, especially after spending decades baking in Florida attic heat. What that means for homeowners is dust and small particles shedding into the airstream from inside the ducts themselves, even in a house that gets vacuumed regularly.
These are also larger floor plans on average than older Florida homes. Longer duct runs mean more joints, more potential sag points, and more places where debris settles. A 3,200-square-foot two-story in a Fruit Cove planned community simply has more ductwork than a 1,400-square-foot ranch elsewhere, and that extra footage changes how long a proper clean takes and what it costs.
Our Main Fruit Cove Services
Fruit Cove homeowners call us for two things most often, and each has its own page with the full detail, pricing, and what to expect on the job.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fruit Cove
Most Fruit Cove air duct jobs involve source-removal cleaning with professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, not a shop vac attached to a vent. We cover floors, furniture, and pet areas before anything starts, then work through the full duct system including supply and return runs, registers, and the air handler cabinet where accessible. In Fruit Cove specifically, we’re often removing decades of accumulated dust from flex ducts that original owners simply never scheduled for service. See Air Duct Cleaning in Fruit Cove for full pricing and what the job looks like room by room.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fruit Cove
Dryer vent cleaning here is as much about lint as it is about the shape of the vent runs themselves. Many Fruit Cove homes route dryer exhaust through walls and out under eaves or through the roof, which creates more bends and a longer path than a straight shot to an exterior wall. That geometry catches lint faster. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination point, and we show you the before-and-after. Get the full breakdown on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fruit Cove.

"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."
- Bonnie Vo"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."
