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 Richmond, TX
Air duct cleaning in Richmond usually costs between $450 and $850 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in about four hours. What makes Richmond different from nearby communities is the housing stock: thousands of compact 1940s and 1950s homes built during the Kaiser Shipyard era, many still running first-generation ductwork that was never sealed properly. That means Richmond duct cleaning jobs frequently involve sheet-metal joints, crawlspace debris, and moisture problems that newer subdivisions simply don’t have. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Richmond Homes Are Different
Richmond’s older homes bring a specific set of challenges to every duct cleaning job we take on. The post-war housing boom near the old shipyards produced thousands of wood-frame homes quickly, and many of those original duct systems are still in place today. Sheet-metal ducts from that era were often assembled with gaps at the joints, which means they pull in crawlspace air, insulation fibers, and dust every time the HVAC cycles on. Homes near Atchison Village and the neighborhoods around Macdonald Avenue frequently show exactly this pattern when we scope the system.
The climate adds another layer. Richmond’s bayfront location means persistent marine fog and cool, damp air in the mornings and evenings, and that moisture works its way into older crawlspaces. Ducts that run close to or below grade in these homes are more prone to mold colonization than anything you’d find in a newer Katy or Fulshear build. Paul Adeyemi and his team account for this before quoting, because a duct cleaning in Richmond sometimes means addressing the moisture source, not just the dust.
Our Main Richmond Services
Most Richmond homeowners call us about two things: the ductwork that moves air through the house, and the dryer vent that carries hot, lint-filled air out of the laundry room. Each has its own dedicated Richmond page so you can get the full detail on that specific job.
Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond
Whole-home Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond starts with a visual inspection of your return and supply registers, then a Rotobrush or Nikro system clean of the full duct run. In Richmond’s older homes, we pay special attention to loose sheet-metal joints and any sign of crawlspace air being pulled in. We use HEPA-filtered equipment and lay down shoe covers and drop cloths from the front door to the furnace closet, so the work stays contained. A written price is given before we start, and you’ll see before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond
Dryer vents in Richmond run longer and through tighter chases than in newer construction, which means lint builds up faster and in places that are hard to reach. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond service clears the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent, including any roof or wall termination. We check the vent cap for blockages and make sure the flapper closes properly, because Richmond’s damp air can turn trapped lint into a solid plug. One flat price per vent, agreed before the work starts.

What pushes price up in Richmond specifically is the age of the ductwork. Homes from the 1940s and 1950s often have joints that pull in crawlspace air, so if we find significant sealing work is needed, that gets added only after we show you the problem and agree on the number first. No per-vent pricing, no surprise line items. The written quote is the price, full stop.

What Richmond 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."
