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 Tara Hills, CA
Air duct cleaning in Tara Hills typically costs between $450 and $1,400 for a whole-home system, depending on home size, crawl-space access, and whether sagging duct segments need resealing. Homes here were mostly built in the 1950s and 1960s on graded hillside lots, which means ductwork runs through damp vented crawl spaces rather than attics. That single difference shapes every job we do in Tara Hills. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written, flat-price quote before any work begins.
Why Tara Hills Homes Are Different
Tara Hills sits on the slopes above San Pablo Bay, and the marine layer that rolls in off the bay does something specific here: it seeps into the vented crawl spaces beneath the post-WWII ranch and split-level homes that make up most of the community. Ductwork in these houses runs under the floor, not through an attic, so it lives in chronic humidity. We regularly find mold colonization inside ducts, degraded flex-duct insulation, and joints that have pulled apart as condensation pooled around them.
The downhill slope matters too. On a flat lot in San Pablo or Richmond, a disconnected duct is usually a simple reconnection. In Tara Hills, gravity and groundwater vapor work against the system. A significant share of our Tara Hills jobs include resealing or replacing sagging flex-duct segments that have partially detached from floor registers. It’s not just dust accumulation here; it’s what the marine layer does to ductwork sitting in a damp crawl space for sixty years.
Our Main Tara Hills Services
Most Tara Hills homeowners call us about two things: the air ducts running through their crawl spaces and the dryer vents that climb through their hillside walls. Each has its own page with local pricing and what the work involves.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tara Hills
Air duct cleaning in Tara Hills starts with a crawl-space inspection, because that’s where the ductwork actually lives in these hillside ranch homes. We check for mold on duct interiors, collapsed flex sections, and joints that have loosened from years of ground moisture. The cleaning itself uses Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and when we find detached or sagging segments, we quote the resealing separately in writing so you know the total before we start. Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before any equipment comes inside.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tara Hills
Dryer vents in Tara Hills often run long, angled routes through hillside walls to reach an exterior vent, which means lint builds up faster and packs tighter than in a short, straight run. We clean the full vent path, check the exterior cap, and confirm proper airflow before we leave. A written price is provided upfront, and we send a photo of the clean-up when the job is done. That’s part of the Cedarwell Care Promise on every visit.

What Tara Hills Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
