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 Vine Hill, CA
Air duct cleaning in Vine Hill costs $450-$1,400 for a full system, depending on home size and how heavily the ducts are loaded. Vine Hill’s position next to the PBF Energy refinery and directly in the Carquinez Strait wind corridor means ducts here collect a greasy, particulate-heavy film most Bay Area homes never see. We schedule Vine Hill jobs around what the ducts actually need, not a one-size-fits-all package. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before anyone starts.
Why Vine Hill Homes Are Different
Most of Vine Hill’s housing was built between the 1940s and 1970s to house refinery and industrial workers, and that original duct board and early flex-duct is still in place in a lot of these homes. That matters because aged, porous duct materials trap and hold the particulate load that blows through this community far more aggressively than smooth-bore modern ducts would. We routinely find a slightly oily, greasy film coating the interior of Vine Hill ductwork. It’s not household dust. It’s a residue consistent with airborne hydrocarbon particulates from refinery operations settling out of the air and sticking to duct walls. Standard dry-vacuum-only cleaning used elsewhere in Contra Costa County doesn’t break that film down. Vine Hill jobs need degreasing treatment first, then extraction, then sanitizing. Paul Adeyemi, our owner, has built our Vine Hill process around that specific contamination profile.
The Carquinez Strait does something else to these homes, too. It channels marine air inland from San Francisco Bay and pulls Central Valley heat and agricultural dust outward, seasonally cycling in both directions. Vine Hill homes load filters and ducts with layered coastal moisture, Delta agricultural particulates, and industrial emissions from the refinery corridor on an accelerated schedule. What a Walnut Creek home accumulates in three years, a Vine Hill home can accumulate in half that time. That’s not a sales line; it’s what we see when we open these systems up.
Our Main Vine Hill Services
Vine Hill homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Both have their own dedicated Vine Hill page with pricing and a step-by-step walkthrough.
Air Duct Cleaning in Vine Hill
Full-system air duct cleaning in Vine Hill starts with the degreasing step most homes here genuinely require. We run Rotobrush agitation tools through the supply and return runs to break the oily film loose from the duct walls, then extract with a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine. Supply registers, return grilles, and the air handler cabinet get cleaned, not just the trunk lines. The 1940s-to-1970s duct board common here needs careful tool pressure; too aggressive and you tear the fiberglass liner. Our techs know the difference. Air Duct Cleaning in Vine Hill has the full pricing table and a written walk-through of what happens on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vine Hill
Dryer vents in Vine Hill clog faster because of the same environmental load: lint binds to the oily residue that settles inside the vent pipe, creating a dense, sticky plug that a standard brush pass won’t fully clear. We run Nikro rotary brushes and high-CFM extraction through the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination. The goal is a vent that moves air freely again and pulls less energy doing it. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vine Hill covers pricing, what affects it, and how we verify the job.

Heat Pump Filter Cleaning in Vine Hill
Homes in Vine Hill with heat pump systems deal with the same refinery-corridor particulates settling into the return-side filter housing. We remove the return grille, extract the filter media, and clean the grille surface so air flows freely. One flat price for the job, quoted in writing before we begin.
Blower Motor Cleaning in Vine Hill
The blower motor and fan wheel sit in the air handler and spin through the same air that coats these ducts. We hand-clean the fan blades and housing with soft brushes and a degreasing solution appropriate for the motor. No water spray, no shortcuts. The price is set before we start, based on system size.
Condenser and Evaporator Coil Cleaning in Vine Hill
Oily particulates from the refinery corridor settle on evaporator coils and bake in over time, cutting heat transfer efficiency. We clean both indoor evaporator and outdoor condenser coils with a coil-safe cleaner, rinse, and verify airflow. Homes near the refinery fence line tend to need this more often than homes on the northern edge of town.
Drain Pan and Condensate Line Cleaning in Vine Hill
Condensate lines in Vine Hill clog with a mix of dust, moisture, and the same airborne residue that coats the ducts. We clear the line, clean the drain pan, and treat with an antimicrobial pan strip. It’s one flat price for the pan, line, and treatment together.
Air Filter Replacement and Cleaning
We inspect the filter housing during every Vine Hill visit and replace or clean the filter as part of the job. If the system takes a standard washable filter, we clean it and set it back in place. If it’s disposable, we match the MERV rating and note it on the invoice. No separate trip charge.
Brands We Service in Vine Hill
We work on systems built around Aprilaire filtration, Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment, and Guardsman filter housings, and our cleaning tools are Rotobrush and Nikro. Parts for common Vine Hill systems are stocked in our service vehicles. See our brands for the full list.

| Air filter replacement and cleaning | $25 - $75 |
Vine Hill pricing runs toward the higher end of these ranges on homes where the refinery-corridor residue is thickest, because degreasing adds a step the basic package doesn’t include. Whatever the quote is, you get it in writing before we begin, and that number is the number on the invoice.

No. Air duct and dryer vent cleaning is a routine maintenance service and doesn’t require a permit or HOA sign-off anywhere in the Vine Hill CDP. We handle the work inside the system and leave no exterior changes.
The Carquinez Strait wind corridor plus the PBF Energy refinery next door means Vine Hill ducts carry an oily particulate load that reads as a greasy film inside the system. Most homes here need a degreasing pass before standard extraction works.
