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 Mountain View, CA
Air duct cleaning in Mountain View costs between $390 and $850 for a full system on a typical 1,500 to 2,200 square foot ranch home, depending on how many furnaces, the condition of the ducts, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Mountain View jobs are different from the neighboring cities because so much of the housing stock north of El Camino Real dates to the 1950s through 1970s, with original sheet-metal ducts that have spent fifty to seventy years collecting dust, pet dander, and the fine particulate that drifts in from the Bay and the hills. Add the humidity that rolls off the tidal marshes at Shoreline, and you get a duct system that holds onto moisture in ways inland homes never see. Call us at (323) 918-4345 when you’re ready for an honest assessment and a written price before anything starts.
Why Mountain View Homes Are Different
Most of the ranch-style homes in Cuesta Park, Rex Manor, and Old Mountain View were built before modern sealing standards existed. The ducts are original sheet metal, often with insulation that has deteriorated over the decades and sheds fibers into the airstream. In a newer home the return and supply runs are sealed tight; in a 1960s Mountain View tract house, the joints have loosened and the system pulls air from the crawlspace or attic. That means the ducts fill faster and with a broader mix of material than in housing stock built after 2000.
The northern neighborhoods sit close to the San Francisco Bay tidal marshes near Shoreline Park and Charleston Slough. Humidity stays elevated even in summer, and that moisture condenses inside uninsulated duct runs in unconditioned attics and crawlspaces. Condensation plus dust equals sludge. We regularly find damp build-up at supply boots in apartment complexes between Middlefield Road and the Bay – a low-elevation pocket where mold and duct cleaning often need to be scoped together rather than treated as separate jobs. Further south, the Santa Cruz Mountains funnel wildfire smoke directly into the valley, and after a major event like the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex, residents run their systems for days with windows sealed. That smoke particulate settles throughout the ductwork and needs a post-event clean, not just a filter change.
Our Main Mountain View Services
Most Mountain View homeowners call us for one of two services, both of which we explain thoroughly and price before any work begins.
Air Duct Cleaning in Mountain View
We clean the full duct system – supply and return runs, boots, registers, and the air handler cabinet – using Rotobrush and Nikro equipment that agitates and extracts debris rather than just blowing it around. On the older Mountain View ranch homes, we pay particular attention to joints and connections that have loosened over fifty or sixty years, because those gaps pull in crawlspace air continuously. If the insulation inside the ducts is shedding, we’ll tell you plainly and explain what that means for the system before we recommend a scope of work. Full details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Mountain View page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mountain View
Dryer vents in Mountain View apartments and condos along the Caltrain corridor often run longer than they should, with bends and shared risers that trap lint quickly. On the older ranch homes, vents dump into crawlspaces or out through roof caps that rarely get inspected. We clear the full run from dryer to exterior, check the termination point, and leave the vent clear of compacted lint that restricts airflow and creates a fire risk. The Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mountain View page covers this service in detail.

What Mountain View Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
