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 Antelope, CA
Air duct cleaning in Antelope usually costs between $350 and $650 for a whole-home system, and Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning gives you a written price before any work starts. Most homes here were built in a 10-year sprint between 1987 and 1996, which means the ductwork is now 28 to 38 years old and has rarely, if ever, been opened up. Add in the Sacramento Valley’s wildfire smoke season and you get a specific set of conditions that make Antelope jobs different from most of California. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through what your system actually needs.
Why Antelope Homes Are Different
Antelope grew fast. Almost the entire community is late-1980s to mid-1990s tract construction: single- and two-story homes with attic-run flex ductwork, all built within the same compressed window. That means one thing for duct cleaning: a technician can walk into a house off Elverta Road or Walerga Road and find the same original duct systems they found three doors down. Same materials, same age, same weak points. Flex duct from that era sags over time, gaps open at connection points, and debris settles into the low spots. We see it across entire neighborhoods, not just individual houses.
The climate stacks another layer on top. Summers in Antelope routinely pass 100°F, so central AC runs nearly nonstop from May through September, pulling dust through the system day after day. Then comes wildfire season. The valley’s geography traps smoke at ground level for days at a time, sometimes longer. During the 2018 Camp Fire event, many Antelope families ran their AC around the clock for over a week with windows sealed shut, effectively filtering smoky air through their ducts the entire time. Technicians who worked in the area afterward found dark particulate residue coating the inside of flex duct and return-air plenums, the kind of buildup a standard register vacuuming will never touch. That combination of aged ductwork and recurring smoke infiltration is specific to this part of the Sacramento Valley.
For Antelope homeowners, this means duct cleaning here isn’t about recovering from a one-time event. It’s about clearing out 30 years of accumulated debris plus whatever the last three or four fire seasons deposited. That’s the job we show up ready to do, with equipment built for it from Rotobrush and Nikro rather than entry-level rental gear.
Our Main Antelope Services
Two services cover most of what Antelope homeowners call us about, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and answers to the questions we hear most often.
Air Duct Cleaning in Antelope
Whole-home Air Duct Cleaning in Antelope starts with an inspection of your attic-run flex duct, return-air plenum, and registers. In Antelope specifically, we’re checking for the age-related sag and connection gaps common to late-80s and 90s tract construction, plus the fine ash residue that wildfire seasons leave behind. The clean itself uses professional-grade agitation and negative-air equipment to pull debris from deep in the system, not just from the vents you can see. You get a written price before we start, and a photo of the cleanup before we leave.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Antelope
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Antelope removes the lint buildup that reduces dryer efficiency and creates a fire risk. Antelope homes typically have short, straight vent runs to an exterior wall on single-story builds, while two-story homes often push the vent through an attic or side wall, adding length and bends that trap more lint. Either way, we clear the full run from dryer to exterior cap, confirm airflow at the outlet, and leave the laundry area as clean as we found it. Lint is what we’re removing; the vent is what we’re clearing.

Brands We Service in Antelope
The equipment we run on Antelope jobs comes from brands built for professional use, not weekend projects. Our crews work with Rotobrush and Nikro air duct systems, and keep Abatement Technologies and Guardsman components on the truck for common repairs and replacements. That means less waiting when a cleaning uncovers a cracked connector or a sagging flex run. See our brands for more detail.

What pushes the price higher in Antelope is usually attic access: two-story homes with steep roof pitches or tight crawl spaces take more time and care to work in safely. What doesn’t change is the price itself. We give you a written quote before any work begins, and the number on that quote is the number you pay. No per-vent upselling, no surprise line items at the end.

What Antelope Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
