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 Camino Tassajara, CA
Air duct cleaning in Camino Tassajara runs between $390 and $790 for most homes in this corridor, and the work almost always reveals something the homeowner didn’t expect. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and the two-story, multi-zone tract homes here – most built between 2005 and 2018 – collect a distinct two-layer contamination you won’t find west of I-680: construction drywall dust from original build-out, coated over with years of Tassajara Valley pollen. Dale Whitmore leads the team that services these systems, putting the written price in your hands before a single vent gets touched. Call (469) 972-3151 for a straight answer and a quote that doesn’t change at the door.
Why Camino Tassajara Homes Are Different
Camino Tassajara sits in the Wildland-Urban Interface zone, where the dry chaparral hills to the east and south do two things to your ductwork. First, summer temperatures routinely push past 100°F in this bowl-like valley, running multi-zone HVAC systems hard for four to six months straight. Those systems pull fine dust, pollen, and grass particulates from the surrounding open land through return-air registers and into duct runs that stretch across 3,000 to 4,500 square feet of conditioned space. Second, when wildfire smoke settles into the valley during East Bay fire season, the geography holds it here longer than in more coast-sheltered parts of the Bay Area – and your ducts act as a filter, trapping those particulates until the next blower cycle kicks them back through the house.
Most of these homes were built during the 2000s-to-2020s Tassajara Ranch, Alamo Creek, and similar master-planned developments. The systems are young enough that owners assume they’re clean, but old enough that a decade-plus of construction debris, pet dander, and fire-season smoke has layered into something our technicians recognize on sight: a gray-tan drywall dust base covered by newer, darker smoke particulate. It’s a signature almost unique to this new-build WUI corridor, and it means a standard once-over doesn’t cut it here.
Our Main Camino Tassajara Services
Two services cover nearly every call we take along the Camino Tassajara corridor, and each one has its own dedicated page with pricing, timelines, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Camino Tassajara
Full-system cleaning for the large, multi-zone duct runs common in Tassajara Ranch and Alamo Creek homes. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through every supply and return line to break the drywall-dust-and-smoke layer off the duct walls, then a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls the loosened debris out of the system entirely. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps what we dislodge from re-entering your living space during the job. In Camino Tassajara, we pay extra attention to return-air plenums near window walls, where wildfire smoke particulates concentrate. Full details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Camino Tassajara page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Camino Tassajara
Long dryer vent runs are standard in these two-story master-planned homes – often 15 to 25 feet from the laundry room to an exterior wall, occasionally longer when the dryer sits mid-house. That length, combined with the fine valley dust that settles on everything out here, means lint accumulates faster than in older, shorter-run neighborhoods. We open the vent at both ends, run a rotating brush the full length, and bypass the lint trap so build-up inside the dryer cabinet gets cleared too. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Camino Tassajara page for specifics and local pricing.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Camino Tassajara
Most Camino Tassajara homeowners can get on the schedule within five to seven business days. During wildfire season, demand spikes and lead times stretch to two weeks – so if you can smell smoke inside the house, call (469) 972-3151 before the next air-quality advisory hits.
Interior duct cleaning requires no HOA approval in Tassajara Ranch, Alamo Creek, or any Camino Tassajara development we’ve serviced. Exterior dryer vent terminations are also standard builder-installed and unrestricted. The only time HOA rules come up is if a vent cap needs replacement and the community has a spec’d exterior finish – we’ll match it.
The size of the systems. A typical two-story, two-zone home here has 40 to 70% more linear duct length than a 1980s single-story in central Danville, plus the construction-dust layer adds pass time. Plan on a half to full day depending on system size. Call (469) 972-3151 for a time estimate based on your floor plan.

What Camino Tassajara 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."
