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 Sausalito, CA
Air duct cleaning in Sausalito costs between $480 and $790 for a typical single-family home, and the work usually takes 4 to 7 hours. What makes Sausalito jobs different is the housing stock itself: steep hillside homes built between the 1920s and 1960s with original, convoluted duct runs, and floating homes on Richardson Bay where ducts sit inches above salt water. Both present access and contamination challenges you simply don’t find in neighboring Marin towns. Call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Sausalito Homes Are Different
Sausalito sits at the mouth of the Golden Gate, and that location drives everything about how ductwork behaves here. Morning fog rolls off the bay and up into the hillside neighborhoods year-round, keeping interior duct surfaces damp. Salt particles ride that same marine air, settling inside return registers and corroding flex-duct connections faster than you’d see in San Rafael or Novato. We regularly find rust-scale contamination inside ducts in Sausalito homes that are only five or six years old.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Hillside homes off Bridgeway and up into the Banana Belt were largely built from the 1920s through the 1960s, and many still run original galvanized ductwork through crawl spaces that follow the terrain at odd angles. These runs are tight, often inaccessible without specialized equipment, and have frequently never been professionally cleaned. Down at Waldo Point and the Gates Cooperative, the floating homes present an entirely different challenge: below-deck flex duct sitting just above open water, where humidity is constant and the inner liner commonly harbors visible mold even when nobody in the home has reported a problem. The ambient bay smell masks it. Technicians who work Sausalito know to look for it regardless of what the homeowner says.
Our Main Sausalito Services
Most Sausalito homeowners call us for one of two things: a full air duct cleaning or dryer vent service. Both are scheduled locally, priced upfront, and handled by background-checked technicians who arrive in uniform with shoe covers and drop cloths.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sausalito
Sausalito’s combination of marine fog, salt air, and aging ductwork means a standard clean here usually involves more than what an inland home requires. We bring professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro to agitate the full interior surface of the duct walls, then extract the loosened debris with a HEPA-filtered vacuum. In floating homes, we pay particular attention to below-deck flex runs, where mold colonization moves fast. Every job includes a written price before we start and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Air Duct Cleaning in Sausalito
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sausalito
Lint accumulation is a fire hazard, and in Sausalito the salt air makes aluminum vent connectors corrode and snag lint faster than inland. Whether your laundry closet is on a hillside street or in a floating home with a short exterior run to the water side, we clean the full length of the vent from dryer to termination point, clear any blockages, and photograph the finished work. The tools are quiet enough to run during a toddler’s nap. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sausalito

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Sausalito
For most single-family hillside homes, no approval is needed for interior duct cleaning. Floating home residents at Waldo Point and the Gates Cooperative should check their cooperative’s rules, since access to below-deck duct runs can require dock coordination. We’re familiar with both communities and can advise you on what to ask. Call (323) 918-4345 if you’re unsure.
We schedule most Sausalito jobs within two to five business days. Floating home jobs sometimes need extra coordination for dock access, which can add a day or two. We’ll give you a firm arrival window when you book, and we call if anything shifts.
No. We use HEPA-filtered extraction that vents outdoors, not into your living space, and we choose pet-safe products where available. After the job, you get a photo of the finished clean-up before we leave, so you can see exactly how the space was left.

What Sausalito 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."
