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. Pete Beach, FL
Air duct cleaning in St. Pete Beach typically runs between $450 and $900 for a full system on a single-family home, depending on how many returns and how much salt corrosion has built up inside the duct liner. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we approach every beachside job knowing the ducts are working against a climate most mainland systems never face. If you’re on the island and want a written price before any work starts, call (323) 918-4345 and a real person answers, day or night.
Why St. Pete Beach Homes Are Different
St. Pete Beach sits on a narrow barrier island with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and Boca Ciega Bay on the other. That means every return-air vent in every home pulls salt-laden air from both directions, all day, every day. Salt particles coat the inside walls of ducts, hold moisture against the liner, and feed mold growth far faster than what you’d see a few miles inland in St. Petersburg proper. In our experience on St. Pete Beach jobs, we regularly find a visible white salt-mineral film on return-side duct walls – something technicians working in Gulfport or South Pasadena almost never see.
On top of that, much of the housing stock here dates from the 1950s through 1970s, built during the island’s postwar boom. Those concrete block homes still carry original attic ductwork: fiberglass duct board or early flex duct that has spent five or six decades baking in extreme attic heat between bursts of salt-heavy humidity. A large share of these homes now operate as vacation rentals, so the AC runs around the clock, ten to twelve months a year. The contamination timeline collapses. Duct cleaning here isn’t a once-a-decade errand; it’s a maintenance step on a much tighter cycle than anyone inland would schedule.
Our Main St. Pete Beach Services
Two jobs account for nearly every call we make on St. Pete Beach: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page here, because each has its own local conditions to plan around.
Air Duct Cleaning in St. Pete Beach
An island air duct job starts with a look at the return side, where salt mineral film and fiberglass breakdown are most obvious. We clean the supply trunks, return drops, and vent registers with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and we document the before and after with photos so you can see the work was actually done. In older St. Pete Beach homes we often find original flex duct that’s sagging or partially collapsed in the attic. Read the full scope and St. Pete Beach specific pricing on Air Duct Cleaning in St. Pete Beach.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Pete Beach
Dryer vents on the island collect the same salt-laden air, plus lint, which makes for a crustier buildup than a vent in a drier inland neighborhood. Many St. Pete Beach laundry rooms vent through short, hidden runs that haven’t been opened in years, and beachside humidity makes that lint cake faster. Full details, including what we check at the exterior vent, are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Pete Beach page. We service gas and electric dryer vent runs.

You get a written price before any work starts – always, on every visit – so the number we quote is the number on the invoice.

What St. Pete Beach Customers Say
"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."
- Bonnie Vo"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
- Shelby Dunham"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."
