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 Vallejo, CA
Air duct cleaning in Vallejo costs between $290 and $540 for most homes, and the work is completed in a single visit without any hidden fees or door-step price changes. Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning is a home service company built on the Kingswell Guarantee: a written price before work begins, a defined arrival window, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job. If you live in Vallejo, your ductwork faces a specific set of conditions – salt-laden bay air, wildfire smoke, and 50-to-70-year-old housing stock – that make this service more important here than in most of the Bay Area. Call (469) 972-3151 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Vallejo Homes Are Different
Vallejo sits at the mouth of the Carquinez Strait, and that geography shapes the air inside every home in the city. The strait funnels a near-daily Delta breeze through Vallejo, carrying salt-laden moisture from the bay that condenses inside uninsulated or leaky duct runs. That damp layer catches dust and, in enough time, supports mold growth on duct walls and inside return boots. Homes in South Vallejo and the Georgia Street corridor see this more sharply because so many were built quickly for Mare Island shipyard workers in the 1940s and 1950s, with original galvanized sheet-metal ducts now carrying decades of accumulated debris.
Then there’s wildfire season. Between August and October, when offshore flow reverses, the same strait geometry that pulls in bay air also channels smoke from Napa and Lake County fires directly over Vallejo. Homes with leaky duct systems pull that particulate-heavy air indoors, and the ducts themselves become a reservoir for fine ash that keeps recirculating long after the outdoor air clears. Add in a municipal bankruptcy in 2008 that forced years of deferred home maintenance across the city, and the result is a housing stock where many duct systems have never been professionally cleaned – not once – since the day the house was built.
Our Main Vallejo Services
Vallejo homeowners call us most often about two jobs: cleaning the air ducts that circulate heated and cooled air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent that carries lint and moisture out. Each one has its own dedicated Vallejo page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Vallejo
Most Vallejo homes need source-removal air duct cleaning: we use Rotobrush rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then Nikro negative-pressure units pull the loosened material out of the system while Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps it out of the living space. In older Vallejo subdivisions, we first check for deteriorating duct insulation that may contain asbestos, which changes the safe approach to the job. Air Duct Cleaning in Vallejo covers full pricing, the process, and a same-visit inspection report.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vallejo
Vallejo’s older tract homes often have long, multi-turn dryer vent runs that trap lint fast, especially in the original sheet-metal wall stacks common in homes built for shipyard workers. Built-up lint is a fire hazard and a real cause of dryers that overheat or clothes that never dry. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior cap. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vallejo includes pricing, what to expect, and why the lint trap is only part of the story.
Vallejo homes are older, windier, and damper than most. That’s why both of these jobs matter here. One flat price per system, agreed before we touch a vent, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every ticket.

What pushes price higher in Vallejo is age. Original 1950s ductwork with failing insulation, asbestos wrap, or collapsed flex runs takes longer to clean safely and costs more than a tight modern system. Every job gets a written price agreed before we start – no per-vent add-ons, no upsell at the door.

What Vallejo 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."
