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 St. Augustine Beach, FL
Air duct cleaning in St. Augustine Beach runs $450 to $1,150 for a typical single family home, depending on square footage, system count, and how long the ducts have gone without service. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we work differently here because St. Augustine Beach homes aren’t like mainland houses. Salt air off the Atlantic, island humidity, and the sheer volume of beach sand that finds its way indoors mean ductwork on Anastasia Island needs a technician who knows what they’re walking into before they ever open a return grille. Call us at (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what we’d do at your home, and what it will cost, before any work is scheduled.
Why St. Augustine Beach Homes Are Different
St. Augustine Beach sits on Anastasia Island, a barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Matanzas River on the other. That geography changes ductwork in ways you don’t see six miles inland. Moisture pushes in from both directions. Homes here hold elevated indoor humidity even when the AC runs constantly, and that damp, salty air moves through return ducts and supply runs all year. Duct interiors that stay even slightly moist become a place where mold colonizes inside the system rather than staying dormant, which is exactly the kind of condition our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment is built to address.
The housing stock adds another layer. Most St. Augustine Beach homes are 1970s to 1990s slab-on-grade builds, beach cottages, and low-rise condos. They run flexible duct through unconditioned attics that top 130°F in July and August. That heat slowly breaks down flex duct lining, and the particles it sheds end up in the air your family breathes. We see the result every week: registers with a fine gray film, returns that smell musty when the blower kicks on, and homeowners who’ve never been told their ductwork is the reason the house won’t hold a clean smell.
And then there’s the vacation rental turnover. The blocks along and behind A1A have an unusually high concentration of short-term rentals. Tenants change weekly in summer. Beach sand gets tracked in, settles into supply vents, and no one notices until a guest complains or the AC struggles. We’ve opened returns in rental properties along A Street and found sand packed half an inch deep at the register. That pattern is rare on the mainland and routine on the island. It’s part of why we approach St. Augustine Beach jobs with a specific plan: inspect first, show you what we found, then clean with a written price already in your hand.
Our Main St. Augustine Beach Services
Most St. Augustine Beach homeowners and rental owners call us about two things: the ductwork itself, and the dryer vent that nobody remembers until it stops drying towel loads. Each service has its own page, written around what these jobs look like on Anastasia Island.
Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach
Air duct cleaning here means more than running a brush through a trunk line. We remove the salt-and-sand mix that barrier island air pushes through the system, treat mold growth where conditions have let it take hold, and leave the returns, supplies, and air handler moving air freely again. Before we start, you get a written price for the whole job. Our crews bring Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, wear shoe covers inside your home, and lay drop cloths from the entry to the air handler. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach
Beach air carries fine sand, and fine sand loves to sit inside a dryer vent line. Add the humidity these older island homes hold, and lint that would normally blow through the run instead sticks, layers up, and restricts airflow. Longer dry times on towels are usually the first sign. We clean the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, not just the first few feet, and we leave before-and-after photos as part of the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Details and pricing are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine Beach page.

Two things push St. Augustine Beach pricing higher than a mainland quote: attics that run hotter and hold more debris near the air handler, and rental properties where the ducts haven’t been touched in years and need a heavier cleaning pass. Whatever the number, it’s written down and agreed to before the first tool comes off the truck. No per-vent surprise add-ons, no changing the price when the crew arrives.
