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.

Most homes in Bee Cave run between $380 and $650 for a full residential duct cleaning, with larger multi-zone systems in neighborhoods like Falconhead and Lake Pointe sometimes reaching $720. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and our Air Duct Cleaning team serves Bee Cave from our Austin dispatch office with background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive in the window we give you. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate with a written price before any work begins.
Bee Cave isn’t a generic suburb. The cedar ridges surrounding your neighborhood define what ends up in your ductwork. We know the difference between a 2005 build off Hamilton Pool Road and a 2018 home in The Crossing, and we clean accordingly.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is Bee Cave’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Bee Cave on one thing: doing what we said we’d do, at the price we said we’d do it, and putting that promise in writing. The Kingswell Guarantee, which governs every Kestrel job, means a written price before work starts, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee with a free return visit if anything fails within the guarantee period. No door-step revisions. No disappearing after the invoice is paid.
Our technicians know the local housing stock. Bee Cave’s large-footprint homes from the 2000s and 2010s, many in master-planned communities with multi-zone HVAC, have longer duct runs and more complex trunk lines than typical Austin builds. We’ve cleaned systems in Falconhead where the original construction debris was still sitting in the returns twenty years later. We’ve traced cedar pollen loading through Lake Pointe homes where the heat cycles never stop during January.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail queue. Not an automated system. A real conversation, any time of day.
Ductwork Cleaning in Bee Cave
Ductwork Cleaning in Bee Cave means removing the specific debris load that Hill Country construction and cedar pollen create in your system. Our process starts with a Rotobrush rotary brush system that physically dislodges debris at the duct wall, not just vacuums the center line. We pair that with Nikro negative-pressure extraction units that pull loosened contaminants out of the system entirely, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration that keeps those particles out of your living space while we work. A typical residential Ductwork Cleaning in Bee Cave runs $380-$650, with whole-system jobs on larger homes reaching $720.
Supply and Return Run Cleaning
Every register comes off. We clean each supply run back to the trunk, then every return path back to the air handler. In Bee Cave’s multi-zone homes, that often means twenty-plus individual runs. We don’t skip the hard ones.
Trunk Line and Plenum Access
The main trunk lines in these larger Hill Country homes collect what the branch runs miss. We access plenums and trunks directly where possible, and we verify with video inspection when we can’t reach by hand.
Air Duct Inspection in Bee Cave
Air Duct Inspection in Bee Cave gives you a clear picture of what’s inside your system before you decide on cleaning. We feed a high-resolution camera through your supply and return lines, documenting construction debris, pollen loading, mold conditions, or duct damage. An Air Duct Inspection in Bee Cave typically costs $150-$250 as a standalone service, or it’s included at no extra charge when you book a full cleaning. Many homeowners in The Crossing and Falconhead schedule an inspection after their first heavy cedar season to see what the winter pulled into their ducts.
Video Documentation
You get the footage. We walk through it with you, pointing out what we’re seeing and what it means for your air quality and system efficiency. No guessing. No sales pressure.
Post-Cleaning Verification
After cleaning, we run the camera again. The before-and-after comparison is yours to keep, and it’s how we document that the 365-Day Done Right Promise has something concrete to stand on.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bee Cave
Kestrel technicians are trained on the equipment actually installed in Bee Cave homes. We clean and service systems with Aprilaire media filters and whole-house air cleaners, and we stock replacement media for same-day swaps when your filter’s saturated after cedar season. For homeowners who want to maintain clean air between service visits, we also carry Guardsman filtration products and can recommend Honeywell or Aprilaire IAQ upgrades based on what your specific system can support. We don’t sell what you don’t need. We stock what Bee Cave homes actually use.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Bee Cave Homes
- The gray-white caliche-cedar mix. In homes built between 2003 and 2015, we regularly find a distinctive gray-white debris layer in the ductwork: caliche limestone fines from original site grading packed together with compacted cedar pollen from years of winter heat cycles. It’s a Bee Cave signature, and it takes proper agitation tools to remove, not a shop vac pushed into a register.
- Multi-zone trunks left untouched. Some cleaners only hit the easy supply registers and call it done. The long trunk lines running through attics and crawl spaces in these large-footprint homes stay loaded with debris, recirculating into the system within weeks.
- Blower motor and cabinet skipped. The blower motor and air handler cabinet collect what the ducts deliver. If we don’t clean and HEPA-vacuum that assembly, the pollen we stirred up during duct cleaning just redeposits on the next heat cycle.
- No seasonal interval for cedar loading. Bee Cave’s December-through-February cedar season isn’t a minor allergy irritant here. It’s a dense, sustained pollen event that loads ductwork differently than spring tree pollen in other markets. Treating it like generic “pollen” means missing the timing for effective cleaning.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave, TX
Here’s what Ductwork Cleaning and Air Duct Inspection actually cost in the Bee Cave market:

We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before a single vent is touched. No per-vent add-ons. No door-step surprises.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave
Every three to five years for most Bee Cave homes, but every two to three years if you’re in a cedar-heavy zone like Falconhead or off Hamilton Pool Road with undeveloped lots nearby. The Ashe juniper pollen load here is genuinely heavier than Austin’s urban core, and the caliche dust from Hill Country grading adds a mineral particulate that doesn’t break down on its own. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll recommend an interval based on your specific lot and system age.
It’s almost certainly a mixture of caliche limestone fines from your home’s original construction grading and compacted cedar pollen from multiple winter heat cycles. Our technicians see this exact combination in Bee Cave homes built 2003-2015, especially where cedar was left on adjacent lots. The particles are fine enough to pass through standard filters and dense enough to coat duct walls. We remove it with rotary brush agitation followed by negative-air extraction, then verify with camera inspection. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.
Yes, and in larger quantities than most homeowners expect. Bee Cave sits in the densest Ashe juniper belt in Texas. When your heat cycles on in December through February, the return side pulls outdoor air through gaps in the envelope, and the pollen load on surrounding ridges is measurable. Unlike spring tree pollen that might affect you for a few weeks, cedar season here runs consistently for two to three months, loading the system every cycle. Cleaning after cedar season is a genuinely recurring local need, not a marketing angle.
Yes. We service homes on larger lots off Hamilton Pool Road, properties with workshop or barn HVAC systems, and rural addresses where the driveway’s longer than some city blocks. The equipment travels with us: Rotobrush, Nikro negative-air units, Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration. We schedule realistically for drive time, and we don’t charge surprise travel fees after we quote. Call (469) 972-3151 with your address and we’ll confirm timing.
NADCA-compliant cleaning means source removal: every vent cover comes off, every duct run gets mechanical agitation to dislodge debris, the entire system is placed under continuous negative pressure during cleaning to capture particles, and the job is verified with visual inspection. We exceed the baseline by adding video documentation, HEPA filtration during the process, and cleaning the blower motor and air handler cabinet as part of the scope. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work in writing. If anything falls short, we return and make it right at no charge.
