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 Palm Beach, FL
Air duct cleaning in Palm Beach, FL typically runs from $550 to $1,100 for a full system on larger estate homes, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The island’s mix of 1920s-era Mediterranean Revival estates, long seasonal vacancies, and relentless salt air creates duct conditions unlike anything on the Florida mainland. When homeowners open their properties in October for the Season, years of accumulated debris and humidity-driven growth have often settled deep in the ductwork. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning serves Palm Beach with written pricing before any work begins and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule a visit.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
Palm Beach is a barrier island, and that single fact changes everything about how ductwork ages. The Atlantic on one side and the Lake Worth Lagoon on the other push salt-laden air across every property year-round. Metal ducts, fasteners, and access panels corrode faster here than almost anywhere else in South Florida, and that corrosion opens gaps where conditioned air leaks into attics that routinely exceed 140°F in summer.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Many of the grand estates between Worth Avenue and the Palm Beach Country Club date to the 1920s-1940s Addison Mizner era, and a surprising number still run on original or early-replacement flex duct and duct board. These systems were never designed for modern humidity loads, and renovation cycles on multi-million-dollar properties tend to focus on interiors and finishes, not hidden mechanical systems. The ducts stay old even when the kitchens and baths are brand new.
Then there’s the seasonal vacancy rhythm. Roughly May through October, a large share of Palm Beach’s larger estates sit sealed and minimally climate-controlled while owners are elsewhere. Six months of 80-90% relative humidity inside a closed mansion is enough for biology to take over. Property managers tell us they routinely find visible mold colonies on flex duct and duct board when they open homes in October, not because the system failed, but because that’s simply what Palm Beach summers do to unoccupied houses. Pre-season duct cleaning has become a near-mandatory part of the opening routine, not an occasional add-on. The October-November demand spike here is unlike anything in West Palm Beach or the Gardens.
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Palm Beach homeowners call us most often for two things: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Both jobs start with a written quote, both include shoe covers and drop cloths inside the house, and both end with a photo of the clean-up before we leave.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Beach
In Palm Beach’s older estates, air duct cleaning typically involves more than just vacuuming the runs. Corroded sections need assessment, flex duct liners that have stiffened in attic heat need checking, and biological growth from months of vacancy must be removed with professional-grade equipment rather than entry-level gear. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro systems sized for deeper, longer duct runs common to larger homes, and we protect floors, furniture, and pet areas from the moment we walk in. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right. Here’s our Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Beach page for full details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Beach
Dryer vents on Palm Beach’s barrier island pull in more than lint; salt air accelerates corrosion on vent housings and exterior terminations, while long runs through thick estate walls collect debris faster than shorter mainland configurations. A blocked or corroded dryer vent isn’t just inefficient, it’s a fire risk. We clean the full run from dryer to outside termination, check for corrosion at the exit point, and let you know if anything needs repair. Same flat-price structure, same no-surprises written quote. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Beach page.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Palm Beach
We typically schedule an estimate within 1-2 business days on the island, and the cleaning itself can often be done the same week. Palm Beach bridge traffic and estate security protocols can add a little time, so we confirm access details with your property manager before we arrive. Call (323) 918-4345 for a specific date.
Most single-family estates don’t require a permit for duct cleaning, but condominiums and some gated communities ask for advance notice or a certificate of insurance. We handle that paperwork on our end. If your association has specific rules, tell us when you book and we’ll work within them.
Many of our Palm Beach jobs are scheduled around seasonal occupancy. We can coordinate with your property manager, meet them at the property, and send photos of the work when it’s done. Pre-season cleanings in September and October are especially common on the island, so book a few weeks ahead if you want a spot before the Season begins.

- 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."
