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 Alafaya, FL
Air duct cleaning in Alafaya runs between $290 and $490 for most homes, and the job usually takes half a day. What makes Alafaya different from most Florida markets is the age and density of its housing stock: 20-to-30-year-old tract homes and high-turnover apartment corridors built around UCF’s growth, with flex duct systems that have often never been touched since original construction. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and if you’d like a written price before any work begins, call us at (469) 972-3151.
Why Alafaya Homes Are Different
Alafaya’s residential landscape is dominated by late-1980s through mid-2000s tract homes, townhomes, and large apartment complexes built in successive waves as UCF enrollment exploded. Most of those properties use flex duct routed through unconditioned attic spaces, where Central Florida’s heat and humidity have been working on the insulation wrap and connections for two or three decades. Technicians working the apartment corridors along Alafaya Trail regularly find ductwork that has never been cleaned since the unit was built. Combined with multiple pet-owning and high-occupancy tenant cycles, these systems carry dense layers of dander, mold spores, and construction debris that pre-date the current resident by a decade or more.
The climate compounds the problem. Air conditioning runs 10 to 11 months a year here, so ductwork is the constant circulatory system of every Alafaya home. During the June-through-September rainy season, relative humidity stays high enough that condensation forms inside flex ducts and mold colonizes wherever cooled surfaces meet warm, humid attic air leaking through failing connections. A duct cleaning that would be routine in a drier climate is often a correction job here, because the system has been running near-continuously in subtropical conditions since it was installed.
Our Main Alafaya Services
Alafaya homeowners call us most often for two jobs: whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with local pricing and detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alafaya
Most Alafaya homes we see have 8 to 14 duct runs, and a full cleaning takes a technician three to five hours once the layout is mapped. The job involves negative-air extraction, which means a HEPA-filtered vacuum unit is connected to the duct system to pull loosened debris out while brush agitation dislodges material stuck to the duct walls. On 20-year-old flex duct, we pay close attention to loose connections and degraded insulation wrap, because those gaps are where attic air and mold spores enter the system. The full breakdown, including local price ranges and how we handle older flex duct, is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Alafaya page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alafaya
Dryer vents in Alafaya clog faster than homeowners expect, because year-round A/C use doesn’t reduce dryer run times and high humidity makes lint stick to the vent walls instead of blowing through. We clean the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass area most box-store kits can’t reach. In apartment communities along Alafaya Trail, we often find vents that share walls or have long horizontal runs behind drywall, which makes a powered rotary brush the only reliable way to clear them. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alafaya for local pricing and what the job covers.

What pushes a price toward the higher end in Alafaya is access: attic duct systems in 1990s tract homes often mean working in tight, hot spaces, and apartment jobs along Alafaya Trail sometimes involve shared chase lines and disconnected runs hidden behind drywall. Whatever the conditions, the written price you get before work starts is the price you pay when the job is done.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Alafaya
Most Alafaya visits are scheduled within three to five business days of your call. The area’s density and our local crew coverage mean we can usually offer a morning or afternoon arrival window, not an all-day range. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a specific window in writing.
In most Alafaya communities, air duct and dryer vent cleaning inside your own unit or home does not require HOA approval. If you’re in a condo or apartment with shared venting, we’ll note that on the quote so you can check with your association before we start.
We see this constantly in Alafaya’s 1990s and 2000s tract homes. The cleaning takes longer and may cost toward the higher end of the range, because decades of accumulated debris require more pass-throughs and closer attention to duct connections. We’ll tell you what we find and give you a written price before any work begins.

What Alafaya Customers Say
"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."
- Rob Pendergast"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."
