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 Buda, TX
Air duct cleaning in Buda runs between $285 and $640 for most homes, depending on system size and how much construction debris has collected in the ductwork. Buda’s housing stock is overwhelmingly post-2005 tract construction, which means the job here is less about removing decades of grime and more about extracting the drywall dust, caliche powder, and fiberglass fibers that were sealed into ducts the day the slab was poured. If you’re in Sunfield or Garlic Creek and your vents have never been opened, you’re likely breathing what the builders left behind. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Buda Homes Are Different
Buda grew faster than almost any city in Texas through the 2000s and 2010s. Entire subdivisions appeared in a single construction season, and that speed has consequences for the air you breathe at home. Crews sealed return plenums and supply runs while the drywall was still being sanded. In many Buda homes, the first professional duct cleaning doesn’t happen until year ten or twelve, and when a technician finally opens the plenum, the find is consistently the same: a layer of fine white caliche dust and blown-in insulation fibers caked along the duct walls.
The attic plays a role too. Buda’s forced-air systems are almost all routed through unconditioned attics where summer temperatures pass 150°F. That heat degrades flex duct liner and loosens connections at boots and plenums, letting attic particulates slip into the supply stream. Add in the December-to-February cedar fever season, when Ashe juniper pollen settles into return grilles, and Buda systems accumulate material faster than most homeowners would guess.
Our Main Buda Services
Two services cover most of what Buda homeowners call us about: the full duct system cleaning, and the dryer vent work that keeps a lint-clogged exhaust from becoming a fire hazard.
Air Duct Cleaning in Buda
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Buda service covers the full supply and return system, including the plenums, boots, and registers. In Buda’s newer subdivisions, the work usually hinges on construction-phase debris removal rather than age-related buildup. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush system through the ducts to dislodge material at the walls, then a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls it out instead of pushing it into the living space. Each job is priced in writing before we start, and it stays that price when the work is done.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Buda
The Dryer Vent Cleaning in Buda service targets the exhaust path from the dryer to the outside termination. In two-story Buda tract homes, that vent often runs up through an interior wall or across an attic run, making access difficult from the outside. We clean the full run, including the lint trap bypass, and check the termination point for blockages. Buda’s long cooling season means dryers run constantly, and a marginal vent clogs faster than homeowners expect.

Prices in Buda push toward the upper end when the home sits in an active construction phase, since fine caliche dust from adjacent lots works into the return side even after move-in. Whatever the condition, you get a written price before any vent is touched, and that number does not change at the door.

What Buda Customers Say
"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."
- Preston Ngata"Our dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. They cleaned the vent and pulled out a frightening amount of lint. Dries in one cycle now and honestly I feel better about the fire risk."
