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 Kenmore, NY
Air duct cleaning in Kenmore costs between $280 and $620 for most homes, depending on the number of returns, the age of the ductwork, and how much moisture-driven growth has accumulated in the crawl-space runs. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work throughout Kenmore with a written price in your hands before a single vent cover comes off. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you exactly what your system needs and what it will cost.
Why Kenmore Homes Are Different
Kenmore sits at the north end of Lake Washington and takes in the Sammamish River, which means two things for the air inside local homes: humidity here runs persistently higher than in Bothell or Kirkland, and the flatter, low-lying neighborhoods act as a natural moisture trap. From October through April, condensation forms inside crawl-space duct runs, and that sustained dampness accelerates mold spore accumulation and breaks down flex-duct liners far faster than in hillside suburbs just a few miles away.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Kenmore’s residential core is dominated by post-war ranch-style and split-level homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, and most of them route metal trunk lines or early flex duct through vented crawl spaces that sit directly in this high-moisture basin. Original ductwork in these homes has often gone decades without cleaning, collecting Pacific Northwest construction dust on top of moisture-fed biological growth. It’s not uncommon for a Kenmore homeowner to have never seen the inside of their ducts until an HVAC inspection or a home sale inspection flags it.
Our Main Kenmore Services
Kenmore homeowners call us most often about two things: the supply and return ductwork feeding their forced-air system, and the dryer vent that runs to the outside wall. Each has its own page below with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore
Most Kenmore duct systems need a deeper clean than homeowners expect, because the crawl-space runs have been sitting in damp air for years. We use Rotobrush rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then a Nikro negative-pressure extraction unit pulls it out while Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps loosened particles from re-entering your living space. If your ranch or split-level still has its original 1960s or 1970s trunk lines, expect us to spend real time on the returns near the floor, where gravity and moisture do their worst work. Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore covers pricing, what to expect, and how long a typical job takes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kenmore
Dryer vents in Kenmore homes often run longer and bend more than they should, especially in split-levels where the laundry room sits mid-level and the vent has to travel to an outside wall. Lint accumulates faster in these long runs, and when damp crawl-space air meets a warm, lint-clogged vent, you get a slow-drying dryer and a fire hazard in one. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent cap, removing the lint pack and verifying airflow at the exit point. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kenmore has the full breakdown of how the process works and what it costs.

What doesn’t change is the price itself. We put it in writing before work begins, and that’s the number on the invoice when we leave. No per-vent add-ons, no door-step revisions.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Kenmore
We typically reach Kenmore homes within one to two business days. Scheduling is coordinated from our New York City office, but crews work locally in Kenmore, so you’re not waiting on someone to drive hours to reach you.
No. Air duct and dryer vent cleaning is routine maintenance, not a structural change, so no building permit is required anywhere in Kenmore, and no HOA approval is needed for work inside your own duct system. If your HOA has rules about exterior vent caps, we’ll work with what’s already there.
Kenmore’s position at the north end of Lake Washington, where the Sammamish River enters, creates a humidity level that’s consistently higher than in nearby hillside suburbs. Homes within a half-mile of the shoreline, especially ranches and split-levels built in the 1950s through 1970s, route ductwork through low-lying crawl spaces that trap that moisture. Condensation forms inside the ducts from October through April, and that’s where mold takes hold. We see it regularly in Kenmore and far less often in drier inland suburbs.
If your Kenmore home’s ducts have never been cleaned, or if you’re noticing musty air when the furnace kicks on, call Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning at (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.

What Kenmore Customers Say
"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."
- Marcus Lee"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."
