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 Tiburon, CA
Air duct cleaning in Tiburon costs between $450 and $1,200 for a whole-home system, and we quote that price in writing before a single vent is touched. What makes Tiburon jobs different from anywhere else in Marin is the salt air. Homes on this peninsula sit between San Francisco Bay and Richardson Bay, so every breeze carries moisture and salt into crawl spaces, duct seams, and return plenums in a way inland towns never see. That changes how ducts are cleaned here, how often they need it, and what we look for when we open a register. Call us at (469) 972-3151 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a written price before we ever schedule the truck.
Why Tiburon Homes Are Different
Tiburon’s housing stock runs heavily to 1950s and 1960s hillside homes built into slopes above the bay. Many of those original homes still have sheet-metal ductwork or early flex duct routed through exposed crawl spaces, and on the Richardson Bay side those crawl spaces breathe salt fog every morning. We see orange rust streaking along duct seams and biological growth at registers that homeowners describe as “just dust.” It isn’t. It’s the signature of marine air working its way through deteriorated duct joints, and it’s far more common in Tiburon than in San Rafael or Fairfax.
The other Tiburon factor is renovation layering. A lot of homes here have been added onto across two or three remodel eras, which means the duct system is a patchwork: a 1960s trunk line feeding a 1990s branch feeding a 2015 room addition. Every transition is a place where debris collects and moisture condenses. When we clean a Tiburon system, we’re usually mapping those transitions as we go, because that’s where the buildup concentrates. The crawl-space sections on bay-facing slopes are almost always the worst.
Our Main Tiburon Services
Most Tiburon homeowners call us for one of two things: a full air duct cleaning for the whole house, or a dryer vent cleaning for a single appliance. Both jobs have their own detailed pages here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tiburon
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Tiburon service covers the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, plenums, the blower compartment, and registers. In Tiburon homes with crawl-space duct runs, we pay special attention to seams and joints where salt-laden air has been infiltrating for years. The cleaning uses negative-air extraction, which means a high-powered vacuum pulls the loosened debris out of the ducts and through a HEPA filter, so dust and biological growth don’t get redistributed through the living space. Most whole-home jobs in Tiburon take four to seven hours depending on system size and accessibility.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tiburon
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tiburon service addresses the vent line that runs from your dryer to the exterior. Tiburon’s hillside layouts mean many dryer vents are longer than average, routed through crawl spaces or up through walls, with more bends than a flat-lot home would have. Lint accumulates faster in those long runs, and if the exterior vent faces the bay, the damp air can compact that lint into a dense plug. We clean the full vent run with a rotary brush and verify airflow at the exterior termination before we call the job done.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Tiburon
We schedule Tiburon jobs Monday through Saturday, and most homeowners get a visit within five to seven business days. We confirm the arrival window the day before, and our technician shows up inside that window. If something changes on our end, we call. Call (469) 972-3151 for current availability.
Air duct cleaning doesn’t require Tiburon HOA approval or town permits. It’s an interior service, and the work is contained inside the home. The only exterior element is the dryer vent termination, and cleaning that doesn’t alter the exterior appearance. If your HOA has specific exterior access rules for condos, mention that when you call and we’ll coordinate.
We photograph before and after at the duct openings, the blower compartment, and the crawl-space sections if applicable. Those photos are yours to keep. If anything still doesn’t look right within 365 days, the Kingswell Guarantee means we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s in writing on every job.

What Tiburon Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
