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 Marina del Rey, CA
Air duct cleaning in Marina del Rey runs roughly $340-$520 for a typical multi-unit condominium system, with larger shared-duct buildings running higher depending on access and contamination level. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and this page is your starting point for understanding what makes duct work in this harbor community different from anywhere else in Los Angeles. Most Marina del Rey homes are condos and apartments built between 1965 and 1985, which means the ducts are often as old as the buildings themselves, and the salt air off the marina doesn’t do them any favors. Call us at (323) 918-4345 when you’re ready for a written quote.
Why Marina del Rey Homes Are Different
Marina del Rey sits on a man-made saltwater harbor, and that single fact reshapes how HVAC systems age here. The open boat slips on all sides keep relative humidity and salt-air concentration higher than what you’d experience in Santa Monica or El Segundo, and the June Gloom marine layer means duct interiors rarely dry out completely, even in buildings that run their air conditioning only part of the year. Fresh-air intakes on water-facing facades pull in corrosive, moisture-heavy air directly into the duct runs, and over years that shows up as rust staining on interior duct surfaces and dark biological growth near intake boots.
The housing stock makes this more urgent. Marina del Rey is almost entirely mid-rise and high-rise condominium and apartment towers built during the harbor’s planned development, roughly 1965 through 1985. Those buildings often share duct runs between units, and the era’s flexible duct liner deteriorates faster in this salt-humid environment than it would ten miles inland. When our crew opens a duct panel facing the slips, what we find is a Marina del Rey pattern: corrosion and moisture buildup tied to the building’s orientation toward the water, not just ordinary household dust. A technician in Culver City rarely sees the same thing at the same frequency.
Our Main Marina del Rey Services
Marina del Rey homeowners and property managers call us most about two jobs. Each has its own dedicated page with pricing, FAQs, and the exact process we follow in this harbor environment.
Air Duct Cleaning in Marina del Rey
In Marina del Rey condos and apartment towers, air duct cleaning means more than pulling dust from vents. We inspect for rust contamination and moisture-driven biological growth near intake boots, especially in units facing the boat slips, because those are the two problems this salt-humid climate produces reliably. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for multi-unit duct runs, and we protect floors and furniture with shoe covers and drop cloths before any panel comes off. You’ll get a written price before we start and a photo of the cleanup before we leave. Full details are on our Air Duct Cleaning in Marina del Rey page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marina del Rey
Dryer vents in Marina del Rey’s older multi-unit buildings often run long and hidden through walls, which means lint accumulates where you can’t see it, and salt air accelerates corrosion on older metal vent sections. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, check for kinks and crushed sections that are common after decades of building maintenance, and confirm airflow before we pack up. Pet hair and laundry from family households make this a job we recommend annually in this climate. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marina del Rey page for pricing and specifics.

| Air duct cleaning for a 4-5 bedroom unit or shared-duct building | $460-$520 |

In Marina del Rey specifically, prices land at the higher end when the building faces the water, because salt-humid exposure tends to mean rust staining and biological growth that require extra treatment time and materials. Shared-duct buildings with older access points can also add labor. Whatever the quote, it’s written before we start, and it’s the price on the invoice, not a starting point.

"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."
