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 Denton, TX
Most duct systems in Denton run between $350 and $850 to clean properly, depending on home size and how long the ducts have been ignored. What makes Denton work different from nearby cities is the housing stock: a ring of 1950s to 1970s rentals around UNT and TWU that have seen decades of deferred maintenance, sitting next to newer master-planned communities still kicking up construction dust. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we put a written price in your hands before any work starts. Call us at (469) 972-3151 and a live person answers, any time of day.
Why Denton Homes Are Different
Denton sits on the boundary between the Blackland Prairie and the Eastern Cross Timbers, and that position gives us a pollen load most of the DFW metro never sees. Ashe juniper rolls through in winter, oak and elm in spring, ragweed in fall. Homes here are also more exposed to Blue Norther fronts that push Oklahoma Plains dust down before the urban core buffers it. The result is return-air systems that accumulate particulate faster than in cities further inside the metro.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Around Fry Street and the historic square, and in the neighborhoods east and south of UNT’s campus, dozens of 1940s through 1970s homes have become student rentals where duct cleaning has rarely, if ever, been part of the maintenance picture. Technicians routinely pull flex duct from the 1980s with collapsed inner liners, registers caked in years of accumulated debris, and return plenums that harbor mold from Denton’s humid spring thunderstorm season. On the south and east sides, in communities like Savannah and Harvest, it’s the opposite story: newer construction where subdivision buildout dust infiltrates freshly installed duct systems in neighboring finished homes.
Our Main Denton Services
Denton homeowners call us most often for two jobs: whole-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with local pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Denton
In Denton, air duct cleaning often means dealing with what years of tenant turnover leaves behind. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush system through the supply and return lines to dislodge debris from the duct wall. Then a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls it out of the system rather than blowing it through your living room. In the older neighborhoods north of the square, we regularly see original return plenums built into wood framing that need careful inspection before any cleaning begins. Full details and Denton pricing are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Denton page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Denton
Denton’s pollen and dust load hits dryer vents harder than most people realize. When the exterior vent runs up through a wall or roof, that buildup becomes a fire risk. We use a lint trap bypass and rotary brush to clean the full run, not just the first few feet at the dryer. Homes near older construction with original 3-inch vent runs need particular attention, because those narrow passages clog faster. Read what the job involves and what it costs on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Denton page.

A few things push Denton prices toward the higher end: older flex duct with collapsed liners takes longer to clean, and systems in the student-rental belt often need more passes than a well-maintained single-family home. Whatever the job, the written price is yours before a single vent is touched. No revisions at the door.

No. Duct and dryer vent cleaning is routine maintenance, not construction, so neither the City of Denton nor any HOA requires a permit or prior approval. Your technician only needs access to the HVAC and dryer locations inside the home.

What Denton 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."
