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 Lake Mary, FL
Air duct cleaning in Lake Mary runs $425-$690 for a whole-home job, depending on home size, duct condition, and whether the system has been serviced before. Lake Mary was built almost entirely during the 1980s and 1990s, which means most homes here are now sitting on original flexible ductwork that is 25 to 40 years old and past its useful lifespan. We know exactly what that means in the field: sagging flex duct, delaminated liners, and mold growth driven by humidity from the lakes and wetlands that give this city its name. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Lake Mary Homes Are Different
Lake Mary’s housing stock comes from a single generational wave. The subdivisions along the Markham Woods corridor, the communities near Heathrow, and the neighborhoods off Rinehart Road were mostly built between 1985 and 2000, and they were built with the same era of materials: fiberglass-lined flexible duct that was designed to last 20 to 25 years. That window has closed for nearly every home in the city. The ducts we pull from Lake Mary homes routinely show sagging runs, loose connections at the plenum, and interior liner that has begun to break down and shed particles into the airstream.
The climate compounds it. Lake Mary is ringed by lakes and wetlands in Seminole County, which keeps ambient humidity noticeably higher than inland areas just a few miles away. Inside a flex duct with a compromised liner, that moisture feeds mold and biofilm growth through a cooling season that runs 10 to 11 months. We tell Lake Mary homeowners directly: after a deep clean here, antimicrobial treatment is not a luxury upgrade. It is close to standard practice for this specific microenvironment.
Our Main Lake Mary Services
Lake Mary homeowners call us for two jobs, and we do both with the same written-price, written-guarantee standard on every visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Mary
Most Lake Mary homes still have the original flexible ductwork from the original build, and by now it has often sagged, partially collapsed, or disconnected from the plenum. We use negative-air extraction – a Nikro unit pulls a strong vacuum on the duct system while a Rotobrush rotary system physically dislodges debris at the duct wall. The result is a real cleaning, not a surface pass. We then apply an antimicrobial treatment appropriate for this high-humidity Seminole County climate. Details and pricing are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Mary page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Mary
Lake Mary’s 1980s and 1990s homes often have long, multi-story dryer vent runs with elbows and transitions packed with lint, and the ambient humidity turns that lint into a dense mat. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior exhaust using a rotating brush, then verify airflow with a real measurement, not a guess. It is the job that most commonly gets skipped by generalist contractors and it is a genuine fire hazard when neglected. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Mary page for a full breakdown.

What pushes a Lake Mary job toward the upper end of the range is usually a system that has never been cleaned: collapsed flex runs that need repositioning or replacement, buildup so thick it requires extra extraction passes, and mold remediation that goes beyond a standard clean. Whatever the case, the price we put in writing before we start is the price you pay. No revisions at the door, no add-on surprises after the van is in the driveway.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Lake Mary
Most Lake Mary jobs are scheduled within 2 to 4 days of the call, and we give you a defined arrival window up front. If the job is urgent, tell us when you call and we will do what we can to shorten it. Phone calls are answered by a live person, day or night.
No. Duct cleaning is interior work on your own HVAC system, so it never triggers an HOA review in Lake Mary’s planned communities. The only exception would be a dryer vent exhaust that terminates on an exterior wall facing a shared space, and we can advise on that when you call.
Yes. Every job in Lake Mary carries the same Kingswell Guarantee: a written price before work starts, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work falls short within the guarantee period, we return and make it right at no charge. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll put it in writing.
If your Lake Mary ducts have never been cleaned, or the last cleaning left you wondering what actually happened, call Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning at (469) 972-3151. We’ll give you a written price on the phone, send a background-checked technician in a uniform, and put the guarantee in writing before a single vent is touched.

What Lake Mary Customers Say
"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
- Terrence Boyd"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
- Rob Pendergast"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
