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 Tequesta, FL
Air duct cleaning in Tequesta costs between $285 and $535 for a complete system, depending on home size, duct material, and how much biofilm has built up inside. Tequesta’s location between the Loxahatchee River and the Atlantic shapes nearly every job we do here. Homes on this narrow peninsula face a double-sided humidity load that inland Palm Beach County communities simply don’t experience, and that changes what cleaning means. If your ducts are original to a 1960s-1980s CBS ranch, you’re likely dealing with materials that have been absorbing coastal moisture for 40 to 50 years. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what we typically find in Tequesta homes before you commit to anything.
Why Tequesta Homes Are Different
Tequesta sits on a narrow strip of land with the Loxahatchee River pushing moisture from the west and ocean air moving in from the east. That combination creates a brackish humidity pattern we don’t see anywhere else in the county. The practical result: duct interiors here stay damp longer, mold and bio-film establish faster, and metal components corrode at accelerated rates. Supply boots and plenum seams in riverfront and canal-front homes regularly show rust-through on the exterior face, even when the interior of the house looks dry and well-maintained. We see this along streets near the river consistently enough that it’s part of our standard inspection checklist when we work in the village.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Most Tequesta residences are single-story concrete block and stucco ranch homes built during the 1960s through 1980s. Many still run original fiberglass duct board or early flex duct. After four or five decades of this humidity, those materials can show interior liner degradation and microbial colonization you’d never spot from the register. AC systems here run 10 to 11 months a year against ambient humidity that routinely stays above 80%. Condensation cycling inside ducts never really stops. For Tequesta homeowners, mold remediation during a duct cleaning isn’t an add-on surprise. It’s part of what the job actually is. Salt particulates carried in the ocean breeze accelerate corrosion on metal collars and plenums in ways that homes just a few miles inland rarely experience. A cleaning schedule that works fine in western Jupiter is often genuinely insufficient here.
Our Main Tequesta Services
Two services make up most of what Tequesta homeowners call us about: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with detailed pricing, what to expect, and the specific Tequesta conditions that shape the work.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tequesta
Air duct cleaning here is not a simple vacuum pass. Tequesta’s humidity means we’re typically removing damp-laden dust, mold colonization, and sometimes corroded metal particles from the system. Our crews use Nikro and Rotobrush equipment paired with HEPA filtration, and we pay particular attention to plenum seams and supply boots where the Loxahatchee moisture plume shows up first. Before any work starts, you get a written price for the whole system, not a per-vent quote that changes once we’re inside. Floors get shoe covers and drop cloths, and pet-safe product choices are available where the job allows. Read the full rundown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Tequesta page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tequesta
Dryer vents in Tequesta collect more than lint. The ocean air’s salt content settles inside vent runs and can combine with humidity to create a sticky residue that traps lint against the vent walls. This build-up narrows the passage and forces your dryer to work hotter and longer. Our dryer vent cleaning clears the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination point, and we use professional Nikro equipment designed for the job. The goal is a vent that flows freely and a dryer that doesn’t struggle against Tequesta’s moisture load. Full details, including what affects pricing, are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tequesta page.

What Tequesta 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."
