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 La Verne, CA
Air duct cleaning in La Verne costs between $285 and $485 for a typical single-system home, with larger homes running from $485 to $700 depending on the number of returns and the age of the system. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on a different kind of house here than we do ten miles west: mid-century ranch homes pressed against the San Gabriel foothills, where Santa Ana winds and alluvial dust load ducts faster than almost anywhere else in the county. Most La Verne jobs take between three and six hours. Always get a written price before work starts. You can call us at (323) 918-4345.
Why La Verne Homes Are Different
La Verne sits at the eastern end of the San Gabriel Valley’s inland corridor, tucked directly against the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. Air pollution accumulates here as prevailing winds push it east until it stalls against the foothills. The result is some of the highest particulate counts in Los Angeles County, and that particulate load ends up inside return-air ductwork. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s dominate the residential core. Many still have original sheet-metal ductwork with fiberglass interior lining that sheds particles over time. After decades of heat cycling, that lining dries, fragments, and mixes with the dust already circulating through the system. Old Town La Verne adds another layer: pre-1930s Craftsman bungalows where central HVAC was retrofitted into homes never designed for it, often with non-standard duct routing and awkward return placements. Paul Adeyemi has walked through both types enough to know that a 1962 ranch on Wheeler Avenue and a 1925 bungalow near D Street need different approaches, different tools, and different expectations about what the inside of the ducts will look like.
The other La Verne wildcard is wind. Santa Ana events funnel through the Cajon Pass and San Gabriel Canyon gaps, hitting foothill neighborhoods with real intensity. They drive coarse alluvial-fan dust and desert particulates into any unsealed return-air joint or gap. Dry heat follows, accelerating duct-liner degradation in older systems. What we find when we open return plenums on the north side of town is distinctive: a gray-tan silty dust characteristic of San Gabriel alluvial-fan soil, mixed with charred particulates from Angeles National Forest fire seasons. It’s a combination flatland cities in the western valley almost never produce. Knowing that before we open the first access point means we arrive prepared, not surprised.
Our Main La Verne Services
Most La Verne homeowners call us for one of two jobs: a full air duct cleaning for the HVAC system or a dryer vent cleaning for the exhaust line running from the laundry room to the exterior. Here’s what each involves in this city, with a link to the full page for each service.
Air Duct Cleaning in La Verne
We clean the entire duct system: supply and return lines, registers, grilles, the air handler, and the return plenum where La Verne’s distinctive gray-tan dust collects. The Rotobrush agitation system paired with Nikro negative-air collection is the right toolset for these older homes because it handles packed, settled debris without over-abrading the fiberglass liners common in mid-century systems. We’ll want to check the return plenum carefully on any foothill-side home, especially after a Santa Ana stretch. Full details on our process, plus what we protect inside the home, are on the service page. Air Duct Cleaning in La Verne
Dryer Vent Cleaning in La Verne
Dryer vents here run longer than you’d expect because many La Verne ranch homes place the laundry room on the opposite side of the house from the exterior vent, and some Old Town retrofits route vents through irregular paths. Longer runs collect lint faster and are harder to clear with a basic brush kit. We use professional Nikro equipment to pull lint and blockages from the full run. After a cleaning, we check airflow at the exterior termination and show you the collected debris. Dryer Vent Cleaning in La Verne

Homes on the north side of La Verne near the foothills can push toward the upper end of a range when Santa Ana dust has made it deep into the system. Older Craftsman homes with non-standard duct routing can also add time, since access points are often unconventional. Here’s the part that matters: the written price we give you before work starts is the price you pay. No per-vent add-ons, no surprise line items, no bait on the phone and switch on site.

What La Verne Customers Say
"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."
- Scott Hemmings"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."
