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 Scenic Oaks, TX
Air duct cleaning in Scenic Oaks, TX typically costs between $390 and $750 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and how many years the ducts have been collecting Hill Country dust. Homes here sit squarely in the Ashe juniper belt, which means the ductwork in Scenic Oaks collects a pollen load you simply don’t see 20 minutes down the road in San Antonio. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we approach every Scenic Oaks job with that reality in mind: older custom homes, flexible duct runs, and a fine white limestone dust that nobody warns you about when you buy the house. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through exactly what we’d do and what it would cost.
Why Scenic Oaks Homes Are Different
Scenic Oaks is mostly custom and semi-custom single-family homes built from the early 1990s through the 2010s, set back on wooded lots carved out of cedar and live-oak terrain. That era of construction leaned heavily on flex ductwork. Those original duct systems are now 15 to 30 years old, routed through non-standard floor plans, and in most cases they have never been professionally cleaned. The original owners are often still in these homes, and the ducts have quietly accumulated two decades of what the Hill Country throws at them.
The climate does something specific here. From December through February, Ashe juniper releases pollen at levels that rank among the highest recorded airborne counts in North America. Just as that subsides, live oak takes over in March and April. Meanwhile, Scenic Oaks summers push HVAC systems to run near-constantly, driving that particulate deeper into supply runs rather than letting it settle where it could be caught by a filter. A duct cleaning here is not the same job as one in a flatland suburb. It’s addressing a genuine, measurable accumulation of local allergens.
There’s also a signature contamination we see in Scenic Oaks homes backing up to undeveloped cedar brush. Lots here were graded through caliche and limestone during construction, and return-air plenums often show a mix of fine white limestone dust and shredded cedar-bark fiber. Local technicians recognize it immediately, and it rarely shows up in the newer master-planned communities down the hill in Helotes or Leon Springs. We plan around it: longer dwell times on return plenums, and a written price that accounts for what the ducts actually hold.
Our Main Scenic Oaks Services
Most Scenic Oaks homeowners call us about two things: the air ducts that circulate all that Hill Country pollen through the house, and the dryer vent that slowly fills with lint in the laundry room. Both have their own Scenic Oaks pages below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Scenic Oaks
Air duct cleaning in Scenic Oaks means working with flex duct systems that were built into custom floor plans and have been collecting Ashe juniper and live oak pollen for 15-30 years. We run professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through every supply and return run, paying close attention to the return-air plenum where that limestone-and-cedar-fiber mix settles thickest. Our techs lay drop cloths from the front door to the air handler, wear shoe covers the entire visit, and choose pet-safe cleaning products where available. We also work around nap schedules when toddlers and babies are in the house. Every job ends with a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. For the full picture on process, pricing, and timeline, see Air Duct Cleaning in Scenic Oaks.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Scenic Oaks
Dryer vents in Scenic Oaks run long and often horizontal thanks to custom laundry-room placements and larger lot setbacks, which means lint accumulates faster and packs tighter than in a production-built home. A restricted dryer vent is a fire risk, and it also forces the dryer to work harder in a climate where summers already tax every appliance. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, verify airflow with professional equipment, and leave the laundry area exactly as we found it. Floors stay protected with drop cloths, and the written price is set before any work starts. For specifics on how we clean vents in Scenic Oaks homes, visit Dryer Vent Cleaning in Scenic Oaks.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Scenic Oaks, TX
What you’ll pay in Scenic Oaks depends mostly on home size, the number of returns, and how much the original flex duct has collected since it was installed. Here’s what whole-home air duct cleaning and related services typically run in this area:
| Service | Typical range in Scenic Oaks |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $390 - $520 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (11-20 vents) | $520 - $650 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (21-30 vents) | $650 - $780 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (31+ vents) | $780 - $950+ |
| Return-air plenum deep clean (each) | $85 - $140 |
| Blower motor cleaning | $120 - $190 |
| Coil cleaning (evaporator) | $160 - $260 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning + coil cleaning | $550 - $850 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard run) | $90 - $150 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (extended run) | $150 - $210 |
In Scenic Oaks, two things push prices toward the upper end of these ranges more often than not. The first is that limestone-ceiling dust and cedar-bark fiber we mentioned, which takes extra dwell time to clear from return plenums. The second is older flex duct that has partially collapsed or kinked over the years and resists a fast pass. Whatever the number, you’ll see it in writing before any work begins, and the invoice will match that written price. No surprises after the fact.
