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 Los Altos Hills, CA
Air duct cleaning in Los Altos Hills costs between $389 and $589 for most homes, with larger custom properties running higher because of long, multi-zone duct runs. What makes Los Altos Hills jobs different is the combination of wildfire smoke exposure, dense oak canopy, and hillside-grade construction that pushes organic debris and fine particulates deep into crawl-space ductwork. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning serves Los Altos Hills with written pricing before work starts and equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Los Altos Hills Homes Are Different
Los Altos Hills sits in a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountain foothills. Regional wildfire events, including the SCU and CZU fires, have repeatedly pushed smoke into this exact elevation band, and temperature inversions hold it there. That smoke carries fine combustion particulates into return-air registers and settles through the entire duct system. Homes here do not just get dusty. They accumulate a specific gray, fine particulate load that valley-floor homes rarely see.
The town’s mandatory one-acre-minimum lots and mature oak and eucalyptus canopy add organic pollen, leaf litter, and fine bark dust to that mix. Then there is the housing stock itself. Most Los Altos Hills homes were built between the 1960s and 1990s, often on hillside-graded lots with extensive crawl spaces. Long single-story and split-level floor plans mean duct runs that stretch far longer than the average South Bay home, and original galvanized or early flex duct in unrenovated wings is common. Moisture from the cooler, foggier hills microclimate accumulates under those floors, which is exactly where ductwork lives. We regularly find crawl-space duct sections on the uphill side of foundations carrying rodent debris and organic matter blown in from Rancho San Antonio, which borders the town directly.
Our Main Los Altos Hills Services
Los Altos Hills homeowners call us most about two jobs: cleaning the duct systems that carry allergens through these long hillside runs, and clearing dryer vents that clog faster under the canopied, high-pollen conditions here. Each service has its own Los Altos Hills page with pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Los Altos Hills
Air duct cleaning here means reaching every register on long, multi-zone runs, including crawl-space sections where damp hillside air promotes mold and mildew growth inside flex ductwork. Wildfire smoke residue and oak pollen are the two biggest culprits we remove from Los Altos Hills systems. Our crews use Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies equipment, bring shoe covers and drop cloths inside every home, and work around nap schedules when needed. Full details, including what pushes pricing on these long duct runs, are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Los Altos Hills page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Altos Hills
Dryer vents in Los Altos Hills clog with lint plus a fine mix of pollen, eucalyptus dust, and wildfire ash that valley homes do not see. Long vent runs through crawl spaces and exterior walls make clogs more likely and harder to reach. We clean the full vent path, not just the first few feet, and provide before-and-after photos when the job is done. See pricing and what to expect on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Altos Hills page.
