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 San Bruno, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Bruno runs from roughly $350-$550 for a typical 3-4 bedroom home, and the work usually takes 4-6 hours. What makes San Bruno different from anywhere else on the Peninsula is the wind: the San Bruno Gap funnels persistent Pacific air through the city year-round, and homes near SFO add jet-traffic particulates to the mix. We plan every San Bruno job around that reality, from the condition of your ductwork to how we protect your floors while we work. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before anything starts.
Why San Bruno Homes Are Different
Most of San Bruno’s housing stock went up between the late 1940s and the late 1960s, which means we’re often working inside original sheet-metal ducts that are 55 to 75 years old. Those systems were built well, but after seven decades they show it: joint separation, loose seams, and liner material that flakes into the airstream. Our Rotobrush equipment lets us reach into those older runs and remove what the last several decades have left behind, without tearing into drywall.
We also see a distinct split in Crestmoor, where the rebuilding after the 2010 pipeline explosion created a patchwork of homes. One block may have ducts installed in the last ten years; the next block may still have originals from the 1950s. The windward slopes toward San Bruno Mountain add another layer: exterior return-air grilles on those exposures pack with wind-driven grit faster than anywhere else on the Peninsula, and we’ve found return grilles so clogged they looked like they hadn’t been opened in a decade, even in homes that are cleaned regularly elsewhere.
Our Main San Bruno Services
San Bruno homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Both are covered by our written upfront pricing and our 365-Day Done Right Promise, which means if the job isn’t right, we make it right.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Bruno
San Bruno’s wind-driven dust and SFO’s air traffic leave a heavier-than-normal particulate load inside ductwork, and older sheet-metal systems trap it efficiently. Our Air Duct Cleaning in San Bruno service starts with a camera inspection of your supply and return runs, so you see what we see before we start. Then we use Rotobrush agitation tools and negative-pressure collection to pull debris out rather than blow it through the house. Floors get covered with drop cloths, and shoe covers go on at the door. You receive a photo of the cleaned system before the crew leaves.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Bruno
The same gap winds that fill San Bruno ducts with grit also push lint backward into poorly sealed dryer vents, and exterior vent flaps on windward walls take a beating from constant air pressure. Lint accumulations, especially behind the dryer and near the exterior exit, are the most common restriction we find. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Bruno service clears the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent hood, checks the damper, and shows you before-and-after photos of the vent interior so you know the full length is clear.

San Bruno pricing can run slightly higher than Peninsula averages because gap winds mean we’re often clearing denser debris, and older sheet-metal systems sometimes need extra sealing on loose joints. Whatever the job, you’ll get a written price before any work begins, and the number you sign off on is the number you’ll pay.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in San Bruno
During normal weather, we schedule most San Bruno jobs within 3-5 business days of your call. We batch appointments around the Gap’s wind patterns when possible, since high-wind windows complicate access to exterior vents on windward exposures. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a solid date, not a maybe.
Generally, no. Work inside your own home, including ducts and dryer vents, isn’t subject to HOA review in San Bruno. The one exception is if the vent exits through a shared wall, which is rare in the city’s single-family post-WWII tracts. We’ll tell you if your situation looks complicated before we start.
Yes. Old sheet-metal ducts were built well, and our agitation tools reach into them without shredding the metal. If we find separated joints or failing liner, we’ll flag it in the camera inspection and give you a repair price before we do anything. You’re never obligated.

What San Bruno 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."
